The story of Samson and Delilah is found in the Old Testament. Gaza, an ancient city of Israel, was once ruled by the Philistines. However, the Hebrew hero Samson killed the governor of Gaza. In revenge, the Philistine beauty Delilah tempted Samson to reveal his weakness. This led to the aria Mon cœur s'ouvre à ta voix, sung at the climax of Delilah's seduction. The aria, written for a mezzo-soprano, beautifully expresses the seductive atmosphere and Delilah's intense passion. It's considered one of the finest arias in all opera.

In the scores, the solo part plays both Delilah's and Samson's parts. In the duets period, Delilah's part is played by the piano and the solo instrument plays Samson's part. Samson's part is written in a lower range, emphasizing the contrast with Delilah's part.

The original piece is written in D-flat major, which can be challenging for some string players. This version is transposed to G major for their convenience.

Bésame mucho è una canzone scritta nel 1940 dalla messicana Consuelo Velázquez prima del suo ventiquattresimo compleanno. Secondo la stessa Consuelo Velázquez la canzone fu composta prima ancora che lei desse il primo bacio. Rapidamente divenne una delle canzoni più popolari del XX secolo. Emilio Tuero, cantante messicano, fu il primo ad inciderla. Fu riconosciuta, nel 1999, come la canzone in lingua spagnola più cantata e registrata e forse la più tradotta in altre lingue.

This is the first of ‘VI SONATE A TRE Due Flauti col Basso’  by ‘Giuseppe San Martini  Milanese’ published in Paris as his ‘Opera Prima’ (opus 1)* by Le Clerc and Boivin ‘avec privilege du Roi’ in 1736. Giuseppe’s surname varied progressively during his life from St. Martini via San Martini to Giuseppe Sammartini. The basso part would have been played on a cello or bassoon probably with the addition of a harpsichord filling out the harmony according to the figured bass. The trio works well with three players of intermediate ability or above. One or both flute parts can be played on oboe(s) or violin(s) and this would certainly have happened in the households of the wealthy amateurs who purchased the first edition.
