BrandoFan Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Also, don't try to insult me just because I have a positive view of love and marriage. Saying things like "take off those rose colored glasses" is unwarrented and uncalled for. No, I think some may accidentally overlook the "romantic" aspect of your statement, instead focusing on the "presumptious, self-righteous prick" part that frankly sticks out like a sore thumb. Your history of hitting below the belt (need a memory refreshed?) and thinly veiled gay bashing certainly doesn't help. Just a thought. If any of you think you can "get to me", youre wasting your time Your massive delusion of grandeur and paranoia is getting tiresome. Go re-read some of your nonsensical manifestos and brag-athons. Do your own reserach. Nobody cares to "get" to a like dumb-ass loser like you. Now "ridiculing the pants off" and having grand ol' internet fun at your expense is another story altogether...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI1020 Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 And I wouldn't want someone "by my side 24/7". But to know that someone loves you and has made a vow to be with you until death, there's nothing better IMO. Old fashioned? Maybe. Naive? Nah. Correct? I think so.

cwsox Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 now my favorite Puccini opera is of course La Boehme - but anyone have other choices? Bravo is the customary term of applause, appreciation, and acclamation of an operatic performance.

Changes of the range at later performances are indicated in brackets ([-]: rôle cut). In some cases the range changed already before the first performance. Here, the range in the score is indicated by "orig.". * In most cases the choir may be sung by the soloists. * Silent rôles are not contained in the list. * Instruments in brackets were used in some performances only and may be omitted. * abbrevations: thb.: theorbo (bass lute), hpcd.: harpsichord, vdg.: viola da gamba (viol) Comments about some instruments (in brackets: act, scene): * flauto piccolo and flageolett: sopranino recorders (they differ in the number of holes) o Rinaldo (I, 6): "Augeletti chi cantate" (Almirena) o Alcina (III, 11): Tamburino * cornetto: o Tamerlano (II, 6): "Parche mi nasca in seno" (Irene), Handel wrote an alternative version of this aria for traverse flutes * traversa bassa: perhaps not a bass instrument, the name merely indicates that the instrument transposes downwards o Riccardo I. (III, 2): "Morte vieni" (Costanza) * chalumeau: precursor of the clarinet o Riccardo I. (III, 2): "Quando non vedo" (Pulcheria), this aria is the alternative version for "Quell'innocente" (with 2 oboes) * violetta marina: probably a viola d'amore with 7+14 strings o Orlando (III, 8): "Gia l'ebro mio ciglio" (Orlando) * basso de' flauti: a bass recorder o Giustino (I, 4): "Pùo ben nascer" (Giustino) The operas and their scoring (with str. & b.c.) in alphabetical order: Opera HWV soli and choir brass woodw. solo str. other instr. approx. duration S/M/A/T/B ch. tr./hr. rc./tr./ob./bn. vl./va./vc.

General remarks: * For the high male rôles the numbers refer to the castrato who sang the part at the first performance (*: female singer, #: boy soprano (treble) William Savage): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 Albertini, Giuliano Andreoni, Giovanni Battista Annibali, Domenico Baldi, Antonio Benedetti (Benedetto Baldassari) Berenstadt,Gaetano Bernacchi, Antonio Maria Berselli, Matteo Bigonzi, -?- Caffarelli (Gaetano Majorano) Campioli (Antonio Gualandi) Carestini, Giovanni Cassari, Giuseppe Frilli, Stefano Gizziello (Gioacchino Conti) Nicolini (Nicolo Grimaldi) Pacini, Andrea Perini, Giuseppe Scalzi, Carlo Senesino (Francesco Bernardi) Valentini (Valentino Urbani) Valeriano(Valeriano Pellegrini) 6 41, 42 36, 37, 38 20 - 25 12a 15, 16, 17 26, 27 12b, 13, 14 17 39, 40 30 8b, 8c, 32, 33, 34 7a 5 35, 36, 37, 38 7a, 11 18, 19 5 32 7b, 12b, 13 - 25, 28 - 31 7a, 8a, 9, 10 6, 8a, 9, 10 Senesino Handel often alternated between singers of both genders, depending on availability. Changes of the range at later performances are indicated in brackets ([-]: rôle cut). In some cases the range changed already before the first performance. Here, the range in the score is indicated by "orig.". * In most cases the choir may be sung by the soloists. * Silent rôles are not contained in the list. * Instruments in brackets were used in some performances only and may be omitted. * abbrevations: thb.: theorbo (bass lute), hpcd.: harpsichord, vdg.: viola da gamba (viol) Comments about some instruments (in brackets: act, scene): * flauto piccolo and flageolett: sopranino recorders (they differ in the number of holes) o Rinaldo (I, 6): "Augeletti chi cantate" (Almirena) o Alcina (III, 11): Tamburino * cornetto: o Tamerlano (II, 6): "Parche mi nasca in seno" (Irene), Handel wrote an alternative version of this aria for traverse flutes * traversa bassa: perhaps not a bass instrument, the name merely indicates that the instrument transposes downwards o Riccardo I. (III, 2): "Morte vieni" (Costanza) * chalumeau: precursor of the clarinet o Riccardo I. (III, 2): "Quando non vedo" (Pulcheria), this aria is the alternative version for "Quell'innocente" (with 2 oboes) * violetta marina: probably a viola d'amore with 7+14 strings o Orlando (III, 8): "Gia l'ebro mio ciglio" (Orlando) * basso de' flauti: a bass recorder o Giustino (I, 4): "Pùo ben nascer" (Giustino) The operas and their scoring (with str. & b.c.) in alphabetical order: Opera HWV soli and choir brass woodw. solo str. other instr. approx. duration S/M/A/T/B ch. tr./hr. rc./tr./ob./bn. vl./va./vc.

General remarks: * For the high male rôles the numbers refer to the castrato who sang the part at the first performance (*: female singer, #: boy soprano (treble) William Savage): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 Albertini, Giuliano Andreoni, Giovanni Battista Annibali, Domenico Baldi, Antonio Benedetti (Benedetto Baldassari) Berenstadt,Gaetano Bernacchi, Antonio Maria Berselli, Matteo Bigonzi, -?- Caffarelli (Gaetano Majorano) Campioli (Antonio Gualandi) Carestini, Giovanni Cassari, Giuseppe Frilli, Stefano Gizziello (Gioacchino Conti) Nicolini (Nicolo Grimaldi) Pacini, Andrea Perini, Giuseppe Scalzi, Carlo Senesino (Francesco Bernardi) Valentini (Valentino Urbani) Valeriano(Valeriano Pellegrini) 6 41, 42 36, 37, 38 20 - 25 12a 15, 16, 17 26, 27 12b, 13, 14 17 39, 40 30 8b, 8c, 32, 33, 34 7a 5 35, 36, 37, 38 7a, 11 18, 19 5 32 7b, 12b, 13 - 25, 28 - 31 7a, 8a, 9, 10 6, 8a, 9, 10 Senesino Handel often alternated between singers of both genders, depending on availability. Changes of the range at later performances are indicated in brackets ([-]: rôle cut). In some cases the range changed already before the first performance. Here, the range in the score is indicated by "orig.". * In most cases the choir may be sung by the soloists. * Silent rôles are not contained in the list. * Instruments in brackets were used in some performances only and may be omitted. * abbrevations: thb.: theorbo (bass lute), hpcd.: harpsichord, vdg.: viola da gamba (viol) Comments about some instruments (in brackets: act, scene): * flauto piccolo and flageolett: sopranino recorders (they differ in the number of holes) o Rinaldo (I, 6): "Augeletti chi cantate" (Almirena) o Alcina (III, 11): Tamburino * cornetto: o Tamerlano (II, 6): "Parche mi nasca in seno" (Irene), Handel wrote an alternative version of this aria for traverse flutes * traversa bassa: perhaps not a bass instrument, the name merely indicates that the instrument transposes downwards o Riccardo I. (III, 2): "Morte vieni" (Costanza) * chalumeau: precursor of the clarinet o Riccardo I. (III, 2): "Quando non vedo" (Pulcheria), this aria is the alternative version for "Quell'innocente" (with 2 oboes) * violetta marina: probably a viola d'amore with 7+14 strings o Orlando (III, 8): "Gia l'ebro mio ciglio" (Orlando) * basso de' flauti: a bass recorder o Giustino (I, 4): "Pùo ben nascer" (Giustino) The operas and their scoring (with str. & b.c.) in alphabetical order: Opera HWV soli and choir brass woodw. solo str. other instr. approx. duration S/M/A/T/B ch. tr./hr. rc./tr./ob./bn. vl./va./vc.
