Description
Forces: soprano & continuo
A wonderful pastoral setting ‘This is the forest…’ but once again Nice is not being nice and is abandoning her lover. His cries and plaints, his promises of eternal love are all for naught as he is deserted… This is a really complex work with huge recitatives, RARA format.
From 5 sources in the Biblioteca del Conservatorio di musica S. Pietro a Majella – Napoli: Cantate 255 (26), 256 (7), 267 (6), 266 (62). There is also a copy in 264 (20) which pitches the recitatives a tone higher and the second aria in a minor rather than d minor.
