Brand utilizes
the flutes as the
featured instrument in
this lighthearted
arrangement of
Cherubino's Aria from the
Mozart's opera The
Marriage of Figaro. The
song, entitle Voi che
sapete (Tell me fair
ladies), is introduced in
the opera as if written
by Cherubino himself and
is simply a diversion
rather than of relevance
to the plot. Although
initial reaction to The
Marriage of Figaro was
somewhat lukewarm, it has
of course established
itself as one of the
great comic operas, and
this canzona became and
18th century pop
song.
This
'Canzona' comes from
Mozart's comic opera The
Marriage of Figaro, first
performed in Vienna in
1786. Cherubino is a
young page in the
household of Count
Almaviva, although the
role is written for a
soprano and usually cast
for a singer with
'boyish' looks. The song,
entitle Voi che sapete
(Tell me fair ladies), is
introduced in the opera
as if written by
Cherubino himself and is
simply a diversion rather
than of relevance to the
plot. Although initial
reaction to The Marriage
of Figaro was somewhat
lukewarm, it has of
course established itself
as one of the great comic
operas, and this canzona
became and 18th century
pop song.
