More information about the piece:
This delightful aria is sung by Sofia in the opera La furba e lo sciocco. She sings to Barlacco while pretending to be Sofia’s jealous suitor. The string accompaniment vividly represents the swishing of the sword she claims she will use to kill her supposed enemy—Sofia’s new love.
This is one of our favorite intermezzi to perform! The music is charming and clever!
More information about the composer:
Domenico Sarri (also known as Sarro) (1679–1744) was an Italian composer of the late Baroque period, active primarily in Naples, one of the most important musical centers of the 18th century.
Sarri is best known as an opera composer, writing numerous opera seria and opera buffa works for major Neapolitan theaters. His music reflects the Neapolitan school style, with clear melodic lines, expressive vocal writing, and increasing emphasis on dramatic clarity. He was especially admired for his skill in writing for the voice, balancing virtuosity with expressive text setting.
Sarri also served as a teacher, and his work helped bridge the transition from the high Baroque traditions of composers like Alessandro Scarlatti to later figures such as Pergolesi and Leo. Though less well known today, Sarri played a significant role in the development of 18th-century Italian opera and vocal style.
