| Added by magataganm, 10 Jul 2013 Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710 – 1736) was an Italian composer, violinist and organist born at Iesi, Pergolesi and studied music there under a local musician, Francesco Santini. In 1725 he travelled to Naples where he studied under Gaetano Greco and Francesco Feo among others. He spent most of his brief life working for aristocratic patrons like the Colonna principe di Stigliano, and duca Marzio IV Maddaloni Carafa. "La Serva Padrona" (The Servant Turned Mistress) is an opera buffa by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710 – 1736) to a libretto by Gennaro Antonio Federico, after the play by Jacopo Angello Nelli. The opera is only 45 minutes long and was originally performed as an intermezzo between the acts of a larger serious opera. It was originally an intermezzo to Pergolesi's opera seria, Il prigionier superbo (The Proud Prisoner). The two were premiered on 5 September 1733, the first performance after an earthquake in Naples had caused all theatres to be closed, and celebrated the birthday of the Empress of Habsburg. “Son imbrogliato io già” (“I am all perplexed”) is a recitative and aria that takes place at the end of the opera after Serpina has told Uberto that she is engaged to be married. It is here that Uberto discovers his true feelings for Serpina. The recitative is written in two styles. The first is simple recitative where the characters sing only with a subtle accompaniment in the piano. You will notice that the accompaniment has very little movement using chords only to support the singer with some tonality. The second style is recitative has more movement and can be heard in the accompaniment through rapid notes. Although originally written for solo voice (bass), viol & continuo, I created this arrangement for French Horn & string Quartet (Violin, Viola, Cello & Bass).
