In 1918-19, Gian Francesco Malipiero wrote a collection of seven songs, commonly known as Sette Canzoni . They were initially intended as a stand-alone work, but became incredibly popular when they were included as the second act of the composer’s opera L’Orfiede . However, in recent years the collection has come to be recognised in its own right as one of the composer’s masterpieces. Like all of the seven songs, the fifth, Serenata , is designed as an individual mini-opera. Scored for a solo Tenor with Piano accompaniment, it tells the story of a young lover serenading his beloved. At the same time, unknown to him, she sits inside lamenting the death of a relative. Serenata has been translated from the original Italian into French by Henry Prunières, and into English by Edwin Evans.
