Johann Adolf Hasse, Il tigrane [arias, and works by Leonardo Leo and Leonardo Vinci]

"Arie nel / Tigrane / del Signr Hasse / per il Flauto". Short score. Arias 'for the flute' (but with text) from Johann Adolf Hasse's "Il Tigrane" (ff. 1-106). Most of these are transposed and are lacking their orchestral ritornellos. Further arias from (an) unidentified opera(s) by Leonardo Leo (ff. 107-122) and from Leonardo Vinci's "L'Alessandro nell'Indie" (ff. 123-126). The title is taken from the spine. Hasse's "Il Tigrane", set to a text by F. Silvani, was first performed at Naples San Bartolomeo on 4 November 1729. All Hasse arias are preceded by a title page, with: "Il Tigrane. 1730. Del Sig: Gio: Adolfo Hasse [Incipit]". A concordance for this opera can be found in GB-Lam. Vinci's "L'Alessandro nell'Indie", set to a text by Metastasio, was first performed at Rome's Teatro delle Dame on 2 January 1730. Casing: vellum. Blank folios: 16v, 20v, 28v, 32v, 36v, 40v, 44v, 48v, 52v, 56v, 60v, 72v, 79v, 87v, 94v, 98v, 102r-v, 106v, 110v, 114v, 118v, 122v, 126v. 8-stave MS paper. Foliation added when catalogued.
