For Voice and classical guitar
Transcription for classical guitar of a lyrical aria extract from volume one of the famous Aria Antiche by Alessandro Parisotti. I have added a tablature of the guitar part and the chords. Thus, no need for a piano: you can sing and accompany yourself on the beach or near the campfire! If the guitar part seems sometimes difficult, play the chords - it works!
 I suggest you to play it at a lower tempo than Parisotti's tempo. Notice that Parisotti's version is in G minor and the orchestral version is in B minor, sounds great for strings. The guitar part is quite tricky : Handel's chiselled writing made the transcription for guitar a delicate affair, and I had to reverse sometimes melodic lines to to respect the constraint I set myself of transcribing in first position on the neck of the guitar, which makes it easier to read.
Listen to The Arts Florissants orchestral version of Alcina (Opera de Paris) to get the right feeling, on the YouTube link below
On the pdf, you will find the score, the voice part, the guitar part and a guitar and tablature part.
