Se Florindo è fedele
Music: Alessandro Scarlatti (1660-1725)
Words: Domenico Filippo Contini
Se Florindo è fedele is an aria from the opera entitled La donna ancora è fedele (The lady still is faithful - 1698). This aria is sung by Alidoro. He has just found out that Florindo has feelings for him. Alidoro tells us that what impresses him and makes him want to be with someone is their faithfulness. This aria can also be sung by a woman, and no changes are needed whatsoever. Scarlatti composed this opera during his time in Naples. The interplay between the voice and accompaniment is characteristic of his Neapolitan style.
Alessandro Scarlatti is often credited as being the progenitor of Neapolitan Opera, however, research has shown that in reality he was a great synthesist of styles that had preceded him. He wrote around 85 operas! In his writing, the lyric beauty of the voice is paramount. Scarlatti had two sons that were also composers, Domenico and Pietro Filippo. Domenico composed over 600 harpsichord sonatas!
