Sol da te mio dolce amore , from Antonio Vivaldi's opera Orlando furioso , is a captivating largo written for flute, vocals and string orchestra. The long solo flute, which introduces an air in the form of a declaration of love, stages an instrument then all new in Venice, and which made for the occasion its first appearance in an opera by Vivaldi.
The aria is particularly neat and demanding for the instrument, and the sensual volutes -nbsp-symbolizing the love potion that bewitches the knight Ruggiero-nbsp-- can not be rendered with as much sweetness and pleasure as by this " -nbsp-flauto ferry-nbsp- "whose intensity, timbre and" -nbsp-consonants-nbsp- "can so well control the tongue and lips.
It is quite possible, however, to play this piece on a modern flute and the annotations and articulations proposed will facilitate the work of the instrumentalists. It was customary for the soloist and singer to adorn the da capo in an improvised manner, respecting the affect expressed by the aria. For modern flutists who have little experience in exercise, this edition suggests a possible realization, which can be modified at will.
There is also an edition for piano, vocals (or violin) and flute solo with optional accompaniment for cello Sol da te, mio \u200b\u200bdolce amore .
