REMIXES ON A THEME BY HÄNDEL (2018)
Georg Friedrich Händel had originally conceived Almirena’s aria Lascia ch’io pianga (Let Me Weep) from the opera Rinaldo as an instrumental sarabande in the 1704 opera Alimra . He later reworked it as an aria for the oratorio Il Trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno, and finally, in 1711 he replaced the text and yielded one of the greatest songs in opera history. The present set of variations deconstructs Almirena’s lament and remixes its melodic and harmonic content with Minimalism, Pop, Polytonality, Jazz, Romanticism, Gospel, and concludes with a four-voice fugue. The work was premiered in 2018 during a faculty concert for the inaugural season of the Opera Lucca festival.
