Giuseppe Verdi's 'Il Trovatore' was based on a play by Gutierrez adapted by Salvtor Cammerano. Although the critics may complain about its lack of subtlety - it is filled with exactly the kinds of twists and unlikely coincidencesthat form the modern jokey stereotype of opera - 'Il Trovatore' will always be an audience favorite because of its wealth of great music. Verdi was stirred to the height of his inspiration by this work and from its premiere itwas an even greater success than its predecessor 'Rigoletto'. The importance of Verdi's 'Il Trovatore' lies in its music; it displays some of the most ingratiating and beautiful melodies he ever wrote. This edition of theLibretto is in Italian with an English translation by Bernard Stambler.

Verdiana is a musical tribute to Giuseppe Verdi. It takes some of his most famous melodies and reimagines them in styles of Samba, Bossa Nova and Tango to produce a virtuosic showpiece for clarinet and orchestra. The work is structured in three movements. The titles of the movements do not only indicate from which operas the main melodies were taken, they also function as a hint to the styles in which the movements are written. The first movement, titled Il Sambatore, is a Samba based primarily on the melodic material from Verdi's Il Trovatore. The second one, Un Bossa in Maschera, is a slow Bossa Nova and consists of an aria from Un Ballo in Maschera. The third and the most virtuosic movement is called Don Tangoletto and derives most of its material from Don Carlos and Rigoletto. The piece exists in 4 versions: Solo clarinet with either full orchestra, string orchestra, string quartet or piano. This publication also includes an alto sax part that can be used instead of a clarinet.An Hommage to Giuseppe Verdi.
