About this arrangement

Alto voice, bass voice & basso continuo SKU: HH.HH543-FSP Composed by Diogenio Bigaglia. Score and parts. Edition HH Music Publishers #HH543-FSP. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH543-FSP). ISBN 9790708185581.These previously unnoticed chamber duets for various pairs of voices and basso continuo are among the most original compositions from the pen of Diogenio Bigaglia (1678–1745), the Venetian monk who was also a skilled and imaginative composer. They are set to texts taken from the famously chromatic madrigals of Carlo Gesualdo published over a century earlier. The purpose of this choice was not to commemorate Gesualdo but to assemble a homogeneous group of short poems suitable for Bigaglia’s evident main aim, which was to produce a cycle of vocal duets imitating the structural layout and musical processes of the contemporary trio sonata.
