Lidia is being deserted by her lover, but he is at least upset about it! Amadei, also known as Pippo del Violoncello writes well for instrument and voice.

Mancini: Lidia tu non me’l credi

Forces: soprano & continuo

A lovely example of the genre, RARA format with, once again from this manuscript, a particularly complex first aria. The subject: “Leave my heart in peace, speak not of love to me” Now, is that a way to go about Arcadian love?

Astorga: Cara Lidia adorata

Forces: soprano & continuo

Using the old ‘ship into harbour’ story our young man tries to woo Lidia, but she’s having none of it! "…Too cruel, too unfaithful…" he cries, but to what avail? In RARA format with two very ‘spiky’ arias, lots of chromatic twists in both arias and recitatives.Source: Müs Santini Sammlung HS859(14)
