This was the war tune of the Sanfedists - a Catholic counter-revolutionary movement created by cardinal Fabrizio Ruffo in an act of loyalty to the King of the Two Sicilies, who fought against the french jacobins and their puppet state in southern Italy - the Parthenopean Republic. Translation was free according to my own very limited knowledge of the Napolitan dialect, and with the help of my friend Sergio. Grazie mille amico mio!

Lyrics:
A lu suono de la grancascia
Viva lu populo bascio
A lu suono de tamburrielli
So' risurte li puverielli

A lu suono de campane
Viva viva li pupulane
A lu suono de viuline
Morte alli Giacubbine

Sona sona
Sona Carmagnola
Sona li cunzigli
Viva 'o rre cu la famiglia

Alli tridece de giugno
Sant'Antonio gluriuso
'e signure 'sti birbante
'e facettero 'o mazzo tanto

So' venute li Francise
Aute tasse 'nce hanno mise
"Liberté, Egalité"
Tu arrobbe a me, io arrobbo a te.

Sona sona
Sona Carmagnola
Sona li cunzigli
Viva 'o rre cu la famiglia

Li Francise so' arrivate
'nce hanno bbuono carusate
E vualà e vualà
Cavece 'nculo alla libertà

A lu ponte 'a Maddalena
'onna Luisa è asciuta prena
E tre miedece che banno
Nun la ponno fa sgrava'

Sona sona
Sona Carmagnola
Sona li cunzigli
Viva 'o rre cu la famiglia

A lu muolo senza guerra
Se tiraje l'albero 'nterra
Afferrajeno 'e giacubbine
'e facettero 'na mappina

E' fernuta l'uguaglianza
È fernuta la libertà
Pe' vuje sò dulure 'e panza
Signo' jateve a cucca'

Sona sona
Sona Carmagnola
Sona li cunzigli
Viva 'o rre cu la famiglia

Passaje lu mese chiuvuso,
lu ventuso e l'addiruso;
a lu mese ca se mete
hanno avuto l'aglio arrete!
Viva Tata Maccarone
ca rispetta la Religgione.
Giacubine jate a mare
mò v'abbrucia lu panaro!

Sona sona
Sona Carmagnola
Sona li cunzigli
Viva 'o rre cu la famiglia

PS: The "Carmagnole" was a jacobin song used a war chant by the Parthenopeans and their French allies
P.PS: Tata Maccarone was either a brigand who sided with the Sanfedists, or the pseudonym of King Ferdinand IV

Composer: Giovanni Paisiello
Artists: Il Demetrio (ensemble), Gabriele Formenti (flute)
Cover: "Girl lost in contemplation of an image of the Virgin 1853", by Georg Waldmüller (1793–1865)

As far as we can tell Paisiello’s flute quartets were written in Naples in 1800, as were Ci-marosa’s more or less at the same time. They were likely composed with dilettante ama-teur players in mind: a commercial audience that was rapidly increasing at the time, as the sudden establishment and flourishing of music-publishing houses across Europe demonstrated. The sonatas are gentle and undemanding works, cast in two movements apart from the single-movement Sixth. The flute carries most of the melodic interest and engages in live-ly duet writing with the violin, while a cello and harpsichord offer a solid foundation and deft accompaniment. Even the quicksilver passagework of the flute part lies within the range of a competent amateur, and there is much pleasure to be taken from melodies of a quality that made Paisiello the toast of Europe as an operacomposer, pleasing public taste with more immediate success than Mozart.

Composer: Francesco Spinacino, Franciscus Bossinensis, Joan Ambrosio Dalza
Artists: Sandro Volta

Ottaviano Petrucci was a printer rather than a composer, but his name has become synonymous with the vibrant musical culture of 16th-century Venice. He was the first significant publisher of polyphonic music, and the composers on this disc would be not only little-known but probably entirely forgotten were it not for his editions. When the first and second books, containing work by Francesco Spinacino, appeared in 1507, they were the first ever edition of lute tablature in movable type. This was followed the next year by Giovan Maria Alemanno’s Libro terzo (since lost), and in 1509 by a Libro quarto by Joan Ambrosio Dalza.

The Libro primo of Franciscus Bossinensis’s Tenori e contrabassi intabulati col sopran in canto figurato per cantar e sonar col lauto was also published in 1509, with the Libro secondo following in 1511. (Petrucci published not only music for lute but for voices and organ).

Picture: Sebastiano Ricci - Medoro and Angelica (c. 1716)

Giuseppe Domenico Scarlatti (Naples, 26 October 1685 – Madrid, 23 July 1757) was an Italian composer. He is classified primarily as a Baroque composer chronologically, although his music was influential in the development of the Classical style. Like his renowned father Alessandro Scarlatti, he composed in a variety of musical forms, although today he is known mainly for his 555 keyboard sonatas. He spent much of his life in the service of the Portuguese and Spanish royal families.
