Published by Francesco Buono (A0.1098365). STRIDE LA VAMPA! from II Act of “Il Trovatore� for Contralto or Mezzosoprano Voice or Bb Cornet Il Trovatore is the second opera in Giuseppe Verdi's popular trilogy created between Rigoletto and La Traviata. Il Trovatore is a drama in four acts and eight pictures, set in Spain at the beginning of the 15th century, which tells, with a beautiful expressive song, flaming passions such as love, jealousy, revenge, hatred and lust. Manrico and the Count of Luna, in love with the same woman, face each other until death as enemies, without knowing that they are brothers. Belonging to two different social classes, they only share Leonora's love which doubles the existing hatred of social conflict. STRIDE LA VAMPA! At the foot of a mountain, in a camp, some gypsies dedicated to their activities cheer their work with songs, dances and toasts (gypsy chorus: See the gloomy nocturnal remains). A pained voice bursts into the general cheerfulness: having woken up from her recurring nightmare, Azucena, mother of Manrico, tells that many years before her she saw her mother die at the stake accused of witchcraft by the old Count di Luna (Stride la vampa) . Her mother's last words had been a plea for revenge, so she had kidnapped the Count's son still in diapers and, blinded by her desperation, decided to throw him into the fire; however, horrified by the vision of her dead mother, she had confused her own son with the child she had kidnapped and had thrown him into her stake in her place.

This piece originally written for cello, guitar and Timple (traditional instrument from the Canary Islands) is on my first solo album, you can also listen to it on Spotify. Television was interested in my work and I have posted the link of my performance in the program. A work based on the poem by poet Mercedes Pinto and whose idea was to merge the sound of the cello with the timple. It fuses styles, character and folklore. Anyone born in the Canary Islands will not miss the traditional sound in some moments (as in part C).

Full score(piano-vocal score and orch.parts available on demand at JdM Publisher)Poète et Muse (Poet and Muse) is opera in 1 act by poems Les Nuits (The Nights) of the great French dramatist Alfred de Musset, written to the texts of his poem.In this – might be said - psychological opera, there are only 3 characters: Poet, Muse, and Phantom (in Musset's original work – La Vision). Although there are only three persons, the opera is not lacking of the dramatical tension. Both Muse and Phantom are opposites of the Poet's soul: Muse, as the poet's imaginative mistress, is a positive character, inspiring him and calling him to his new creations; Phantom, on the contrary, is his eternal solitude driving him to the destructive depressions. Both of Poet’s visions have their own leitmotifs (main music motives) which describe them and their struggle in his lonely soul.Opera Poète et Muse has romantic, dramatic, and vivid music with almost permanently rising tension until the very end. Opera is written in French, following the original of The Nights by A. de Musset - for tenor (Poet), soprano (Muse), and bass-baritone (Phantom).

La Voix ('The Voice') is a song by Swedish singer Malena Ernman, which served as the Swedish entry at the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest, held in Moscow, Russia. It was composed by Fredrik Kempe, with lyrics by both Kempe and Ernman. It is the first Swedish entry to contain lyrics in French, as well as being the last Swedish entry to have contained lyrics in a language other than English. The song was the winner of Melodifestivalen 2009 on 14 March 2009, earning the right to compete for Sweden in the first semi-final of Eurovision 2009 on 12 May 2009. The song qualified for the final round where it finished in 21st place with 33 points. Despite its disappointing position in the competition results, the song has remained a fan favourite, with its strong, operatic melody and classical harmony. Malena Ernman is a well respected soprano, as well as being the mother of Greta Thunberg and this song would be great paired up with other Eurovision songs, such as ABBA's 'Waterloo'. Arranged as part of a project to bring more music by women into the worldwide concert band repertoire.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.904857 Composed by Giancarlo Bigazzi, Giuseppe Beppe Dati, and Marco Falagiani. Arranged by Marco Borsoi. Pop. Octavo. 27 pages. Marco Borsoi #6167397. Published by Marco Borsoi (A0.904857). Gli uomini non cambiano è una canzone scritta da Giancarlo Bigazzi, Marco Falagiani e Giuseppe Beppe Dati. Fu presentata dalla stupenda voce di Mia Martini al 42o Festival di Sanremo, dove si piazzò al secondo posto nella classifica finale.Il brano racconta le delusioni di una donna nei rapporti con le figure maschili; a partire dal padre che, nonostante gli sforzi, non è mai riuscita a conquistare fino ai falsi e presunti amori. Storie nate dalla voglia di scappare da una famiglia divenuta ostile ma che evidenziano l'ingenuità di una ragazzina presa in giro e abbandonata dal playboy di turno. Sogni d’amore svaniti, lacrime versate e sensi colpa per aver stupidamente abboccato alle bugie di chi si diceva innamorato per poi andare a ridere di lei con gli amici del bar. Sconfitta da queste delusioni, la ragazza divenuta donna non riesce più a dare fiducia agli uomini; indurisce il proprio carattere diventando fredda e diffidente in ogni nuovo rapporto. Nel finale, però, rivolgendosi all’attuale compagno, la donna chiarisce che l'amore vero può esistere perché un uomo può davvero cambiare se innamorato.L’arrangiamento, per 5 voci miste (SMzATB) prende spunto dalla versione di Alessandro Cadario di Almeno tu nell’universo per coro femminile.Il brano parte dunque con un unisono di voci femminili che via via si aprono in 3 sezioni.Il piano regge l’armonia in queste prime 2 strofe.Gli uomini entrano solo nella battuta che precede il ritornello per sostenere il crescendo sulla dominante minore che risolve nella tonica maggiore.Nel ritornello l’armonizzazione è a 4 voci (SATB) con finale all’unisono con accordo vuoto del pianoforte per rendere la tristezza del testo (vanno a ridere di te).La seconda parte è pensata invece come un accompagnamento strumentale delle voci che alternandosi creano un arpeggio armonico. Al termine del secondo ritornello, un rallentato deciso e una modulazione secca che determina la revisione dell’andamento armonico delle parti centrali. Piccolo gioco con le parole a batt. 60 e finale classicheggiante.
