Title:

Numbers from unnamed Operas, mostly for one voice, with a bass for harpsichord, in score, by anonymous composers

Scope & Content:

Volume II (allied to Vol I: Harley MS 1268)

Numbers (for one voice, unless the contrary is expressed), with a bass for harpsichord, in score, from unnamed Operas, by anonymous composers. Bound with Harley MS 1268. The names of La Menarina and Sig[nora] Rosana, which are given in vol. i, f. 32, and which, with that of Signor 'Chechin' (sc. Ceccino Massimo?), occur frequently in vol. ii, and probably also those of Ferdinando and Spironcino, in vol. ii, ff. 43, 44, appear to be those of singers.

Harley MS 1269. Vol. II. 1. 'Crude stelle.' f. 1. 2. 'Volo a stringere il bel crin d' oro.' This and nos. 11, 13 and 14 were sung by 'Signor Chechin' in the character of Claudio, possibly from 'Claudio Cesare,' by G. A. Boretti, 1672. f. 3. 3. 'Dimmi pur, dolce mia uita.' f. 5. 4. 'Pur ch' iogoda.' f. 6. 5. 'Amarti il cor non può.' f. 8. 6. 'Care tenebre.' f. 9. 7. 'Mie speranze.' f. 11. 8. 'Non mi parto da te.' f. 13. 9. 'Sparge al uento le querelle.' f. 15. 10. 'Rendeteui, ò pensieri.' f. 17. 11. 'A quel crine.' f. 19. 12. 'Degl' allori io son contenta.' f. 21. 13. 'Mi regna nel' core amore.' f. 23. 14. 'Sappi resistere, ò bella costanza'; preceded (at f. 25) by a recitative. f. 27. 15. 'Parto; mà Pargoletto da mè non parte amor.' f. 30. 16. 'Al' aurora.' Prom the allusion to Giunio in this aria, it is possible that it is taken from the opera 'Giunio Bruto ' by G. F. Tosi, 1686, rather than from G. B. Draghi's 'La varietà di fortuna in Lucio Giunio Bruto,' the German version of which does not appear to contain any song corresponding to the above. f. 31. 17. 'E follia di chi si crede.' f. 33. 18. 'Rose indegne.' f. 35. 19. 'Donna, cagion de mali.' f. 37. 20. 'Fanciul, che porti in uolto.' f. 38. 21. 'E miracolo d' amore.' f. 39. 22. 'Al splendor che cangia in cenere.' f. 41. 23. 'Hor ch' in te miro il mio bene.' f. 43. 24. 'Son uassalo di cupido.' f. 44. 25. 'Ti dono un baccio': duet. f. 46. 26. 'Sò ben io ch' à la bellezza.' f. 48.
