A selection of arias and a quartet from the operas 'Lucio Vero' and 'Sesostri' by Francesco Gasparini
- Scope & Content:
- The principal arias, and one quartet, in the Operas 'Lucio Vero' [1719] and 'Sesostri' [1710], by Francesco Gasparini, in score. The instruments employed in the accompaniments, etc., to the former opera are a mandola (sc. cithern), trumpets, flutes, and strings, with a bass occasionally figured, for harpsichord. Characters: Lucio Vero, Aniceto, Berenice, and Vologeso. The instruments in 'Sesostri' are not named, nor are the characters. The selections from this opera are interspersed with those from 'Lucio Vero.' On f. 52b is the note 'Aliberti [probably Giuseppe Matteo Alberti, of Bologna] Opa Pa [Bologna, 1713], 1719'; from which, coupled with the fact that 'Sesostri' was performed there in 1719, it may be conjectured that this transcript was made in that year, when both works were probably given at Bologna.
