Composed by lyrics by Giambattista De Curtis, music by Ernesto De Curtis. Arranged by James Pybus. This edition: pdf. 20th Century, Chamber, Contest, Festival, Folk, Traditional. 16 pages. James Pybus #1108991. Published by James Pybus (A0.1535938).
Torna a Surriento is a Neapolitan song composed in 1894 by Italian musician Ernesto De Curtis to words by his brother, the poet and painter Giambattista De Curtis. Tradition holds that the song's origin dates to 1902, when Guglielmo Tramontano, mayor of Sorrento, asked his friend Giambattista De Curtis to write the song for Prime Minister Giuseppe Zanardelli, who was vacationing at his seaside hotel, the Imperial Hotel Tramontano; it was claimed that the piece was meant to celebrate Zanardelli's stay. Some claim the song is a plea to Zanardelli to keep his promise to help the impoverished city of Sorrento, which was especially in need of a sewage system. The song reflects the beauty of the city's great surroundings and the love and passion of its citizens. More recent research indicates that the song may merely have been reworked for the occasion; family papers indicate that the brothers deposited a copy with the Italian Society of Authors and Editors in 1894, eight years before they claimed to have written it.
This arrangement for SSAB or SSSB Flute Quartet is suitable for a variety of concert programs and performance situations. The duration is 2:50. Please contact me at [email protected].
