Found in sources by both Roman and Neapolitan copyists, these previously ‎unpublished works by Alessandro Scarlatti represent a unique and richly imaginative ‎fusion of two serenata traditions that form Scarlatti's stylistic heritage: the Roman style, ‎especially of Stradella, and the Neapolitan tradition of the solo serenata of the 1670s–80s. ‎Instead of the dramatic large-scale entertainments usually associated with the serenata, ‎these are intense soliloquies for the connoisseur of music and poetry: scored mostly for a ‎concertino of two violins and bass, composed within a framework of recitatives\/ariosos ‎and arias, and exhibiting immense originality in structure and musical imagery. The ‎evocation of night, dreams, and unfulfilled love forms their subject matter. Seven of these ‎undated works clearly belong to Scarlatti's seventeenth-century output, including two ‎with continuo only. Two can be dated to ca. 1704\/05, great works with which Scarlatti bid ‎farewell to the genre of the solo serenata. An unattributed Roman work forming part of ‎the Münster archive of Scarlatti's serenatas is included in an appendix.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"A-R Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44444587819087,"sku":"B175","price":249.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/b48549b39a2b542261cd2262ea2a92b7_dc20f019-4f7e-401a-a49b-c2f3f1873f78.jpg?v=1770915174","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/fr\/products\/a-scarlatti-solo-serenatas-ar","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
