Ambroise THOMAS (1811-1896). 2 autograph music manuscripts, - Lot 165
Ambroise THOMAS (1811-1896). 2 autograph music manuscripts, the first signed, Une nuit de Silvio Pellico, scène et air, and La Folle d'Yarmouth; title and 12 pages in-fol. in notebook, and 7 pages and a quarter in-fol. in notebook. (dirt and tears on the second). Two early vocal compositions for voice and piano. Une nuit by Silvio Pellico, to lyrics by Ernest Legouvé, dedicated to the great tenor Adolphe Nourrit, is a tribute to the author of Mes prisons. This 1831 composition was reported lost. The manuscript is in brown ink, on 14-line paper. The piece, in D minor, begins with a 50-bar piano Introduzione (Moderato). Silvio Pellico meditates: "Six months six months spent under the fuses of Venice" ..., with the threat of the scaffold. Comes a Prayer (Andantino), before the final part (Andante con moto) and the appeasement in the exaltation of Faith . La Folle d'Yarmouth, based on the words of Mrs. La Besge, was published by C. Boïeldieu. A young girl waits in vain on the shore for the return of her fiancé who died at sea: "Yes, the evening bell has rung on the shore"... The piece is marked Andantino, in F sharp minor. The manuscript is written in brown ink on 20-line paper.
