Pergolesi - Lièto così talvolta from Adriano in Siria
Sheet music for flute
| Info: | Aria from act I, scene XVI of Pergolesi's opera based on the libretto Adriano in Siria (Hadrian in Syria) by Italian poet Metastasio in 1732. The libretto have been turned into an opera by at least 60 other composers during the next century. Metastasio based the background of the story on late Classical works by Cassius Dio (Book 19 of the Roman History) and Elio Sparziano (Vita Hadriani Caesaris). |
