Bononcini: Ch’io ti manchi di fede

Description

Forces: tenor & continuo

A large cantata edited from the Chandos collection copy in the British library. Unusual in that it’s a contemporary copy from before 1720 (the date of the donation of the collection) for tenor. The transposition has provided some odd crossing of parts. Diverse aria structures (including a non-da capo aria) and interesting harmonic progressions.
