arias for tenor, soprano, melody instrument and continuo
Greg M. Silverman
duo with a melody instrument and continuo. Any ideas please?
TIA!
Terry Simmons
If you can find a second melody instrument, you might look at "How Pleasant is
this Flow'ry Plain and Grove" by Henry Purcell.

I think we would be able to find a second melody instrument (it would be
2-recorders).
Any specific recommended edition for this?
Thanks!
Terry Simmons
I think you'll find it in Bärenreiter's "Hortus Musicus" series.

Thanks. Green Man Press also has this in score form. There is an
interesting pdf example page from the 2-airs included in the score
("How Pleasant..." and "Soft Notes, and gently rais'd"). Green Man makes
good publications: with each is included the notated figured bass
version and a modern realization. I looked at Bärenreiter's web site,
but was unable to find the specific edition with the Purcell. Do you
have a catalogue number?
Also, Green Man says that this particular aria "has airs for both
soprano and baritone..." (not tenor). Do you happen to know what the
lowest note in this tune is?

The Bärenreiter is Hortus Musicus 164. It was first published in 1959 and is
edited by Herbert Just. The lowest note in the tenor part is C, and the highest
is F -- normal for a tenor part. However, the tessitura is a little on the low
side, and I can understand Green Man assigning it to a baritone. I didn't know
about the Green Man edition. It should be good.

There's a Handel opus containing something like 9
solo arias with obbligato instruments. We did
one of them with soprano soloist and oboe last
spring, and it was really a lovely piece of music
and is highly recommended.

Nine German Arias
Meine Seele, Susse Stille and Flammende Rose work nicely with recorder
too (a few little edits necessary)...
But I thought the inquirer was looking for things for TWO singers,
1 instrument & bc, nu?

That's the Nine German Arias, and Bärenreiter put out a beautiful edition of
them a couple of years ago in their Urtext series. The original poster, however,
was looking for duets for soprano & tenor with obliggato instrument(s).

Thanks for the info regarding the tessitura. I should be able to handle
it without any problems. Am going to order the Green Man edition. I will
let you know how it goes!
P.S. As Terry and Sheila pointed out: the original query was for
2-voices (soprano and tenor), basso continuo and obligatto
instrument(s). Am still open to other suggestions.
