product description

Aria from the St Cecilia's Day „From Harmony“, London 1687, for alto voice, 2 alto recorders and basso continuo, edited by Peter Thalheimer. Draghi  was one of the Italian musicians brought to England by King Charles II in 1662/63 to establish an English operatic tradition. He worked with Matthew Locke from 1673 and succeeded him as organist to the Queen at Somerset House in 1677. The aria ‘The soft complaining flute’ is based on a typical English ‘ground’, a five-bar bass theme that is repeated eleven times and transposed in the middle section. The piece shines with extremely interesting harmonisation and an exuberant wealth of ideas. Girolamo Musikverlag
