Fago, Nicola (1677 - 1745)

Continuo cantata
  • Amante con poca sorte
    Forces: bass & continuo
    'Wretched and alone with my pain and torment' is the start of this RARA format cantata by the Neapolitan composer and teacher Nicola Fago. Cupid is up to his old tricks again! Full of chromatic inflections and wandering tonality and offering a wonderful emotional challenge to the performer.
    Range: EE - e

  • D'Aretusa in sul Lito
    Forces: soprano & continuo
    Source BL Add 14211 f 35 - 41v
    Fago's cantatas are an interesting bridge between the Scarlattian style and the later Neapolitan version of the genre. Here a shepherd falls prey to the 'vicious' Goddess of Love.

    Forces: soprano & continuo
    Source: BL Add MS 38036 ff 71r - 74v
    Lament upon lament fills this emotional cantata in which Tirsi's absence is mourned. Three arias linked by recitative with some extremely interesting harmonic shifts. The copy is extraordinarily detailed with figures for almost every note in the continuo part.
    Range: d - f'

  • Sia con me Fillide ingrata
    Forces: soprano & continuo
    Source: BL Add MS 38036 ff 121r - 124r
    No birds, but plenty of bees, roses and, of course, thorns in this charming cantata by the Neapolitan Nicola Fago. Smitten by ungrateful Fillide, the lover swears eternal constancy - why? In aria - recit - aria (Affettuoso) format
    Range: e - a''
