Speranza
I am researching on "The Vivaldian Tenor" (Il tenore vivaldiano). I Sonatori della Gioiosa Marca, a company based in Treviso (the Renaissance's "Gioiosa Marca" being Veneto) are spreading the repertoire. One is the aria for Perseo,
Sovente il sole
risplende in cielo
più bello e vago
se oscura nube
già l'offuscó.
E il mar tranquillo
quasi senz'onda
talor si scorge
se ria procella
già o turbó.
---- The thing, "Andromeda liberata" opened in Venice, 1726. Fascinating myth that may ask for some iconological (pictoric, sculptoric, musical) time-line references and such!
