Contenu
- Cangia cangia pensier mio cor
- Che sarà che sarà di quel pensiero
- Parlo e rido
for two sopranos (d'-a'', c'-a'') and Basso continuo
Steffani was much valued for his chamber duets and scherzo. Here are three which will delight sopranos looking for concert pieces. Although written for female voices, the ‘poet’ is a man, complaining about the contrariness of women.
Cangia, cangia pensier mio cor, takes a slightly negative view of the lover’s chances of pain free success, due, of course, to the girl’s intransigence. Nevertheless the music is rhythmic and lively, the soprano 1 solo almost jaunty.
Che sarà di quel pensier by contrast takes a rather wistful stance, hoping that the lover’s sighs will somehow travel on the breeze and reach the beloved, its long melismas suggestive of sighs.
Parlo e rido starts in a different vein, the lover boasting of philandering and having a good time of it, with rhythmic jig-like music, but eventually having to face the fact that he has fallen seriously for one lady, and it is no longer a joke.
