Composed by G F Handel. Arranged by David McKeown. Baroque,Contemporary,Opera,Standards. Individual part. 5 pages. David McKeown #5042579. Published by David McKeown (A0.587909).Ombra Mai Fù is the beautiful opening aria from Handel’s Opera "Serse", (Xerxes). The opera was not well received when it premiered in London in 1736 and sank into immediate obscurity, only to re-emerged as one of Handel’s best-loved works nearly two hundred years later. Ombra Mai Fù is often referred to as Handel’s Largo. In 1906 Ombra Mai Fù gained the distinction of being the first piece of music ever broadcast on radio.
This full version of Ombra Mai Fù is arranged as a Solo for Tenor Recorder and Piano and both parts are reasonably simple; the performance time is around three minutes. The pdf file contains both the piano score and a separate solo part. You can listen to a full performance of this arrangement on Clarinet via the YouTube link above.
Musicians at an early intermediate level and above will find Ombra Mai Fù ideal for formal and informal performances, with both the solo and accompaniment enjoying melodic interest.
Teachers will enjoy using this arrangement as a fun way to help with developing tone, phrasing and expression.
