<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 375166, member: 55&quot;]Interesting.&nbsp;&nbsp; So the vocal part does have words written in eventually; it is likely that the repetition of the first violin part, in the first pages of the vocal part, is to help the vocalist follow the music in order to know where to come in.</p><p>In printed scores, that would be conveyed by having the notes written in&nbsp; smaller font; which is not easily reflected in a handwritten score.</p><p>You can see this on page 6, though, where after the first measure the vocalist pauses, and reads the first violin notes until it is time to come in again.</p><p>The melody still seems somewhat familiar, and I&#039;d guess that this might be an arrangement of a Mozart or Telemann quartet, or some similar baroque piece; possibly the writer composed the words; or it could be an arrangement of a common folk song, or operatic aria, I suppose.</p><p>There is a method to make melodies searchable; it involves what is called &quot;ABC notation&quot; and is way too technical to go into here.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m not really up to speed on ABC notation, and probably can&#039;t do that search very easily.</p><p>If someone can translate the words (from Italian?) that might give some clues also.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
