VINCENZO BELLINI - Vaga luna, che inargenti

Vaga luna, che inargenti - Bellini-Freund cover.jpg

ARRANGED FOR SOPRANO (OR TREBLE INSTRUMENT) AND HARP

Italian operatic composer Vincenzo Bellini (1801-1835) composed simple and tuneful works for voice and piano.  Vaga luna, che inargenti is from a collection of fifteen pieces, Composizioni da Camera, which likely composed in the 1820s when Bellini was young, but remained unpublished until the centenary of his death in 1935.  This short and sweet work is about yearning for love, and the comfortable accompaniment contains gentle right hand figuration and left hand octaves.  This flexible arrangement can be performed on a recital in harp and voice format, or adapted for any harp and treble instrument to sight-read at gigs.
