"Luci care, luci belle", like "Die Zufriedenheit", is transcribed from "Singt und spielt, Musikbuch für Schulen von Dietrich Stoverock, dritter Band-A, Vel- hagen und Klasing, 1961" where it is titled "Lob der Freundschaft"; the editor replaced the original Italian words with something from a songbook from 1832. As I don't have the original words, I found it too hard to find the energy to enter the German words which are extolling the value of friendship -which must be found- over love which is everywhere: Romanticism casting an early shadow. The book cites as source: "Six Nocturnos for two sopranos and bass with accom- paniment of three melody instruments, edited by Hedwig Kraus, C.F. Peters. W.A. Mozart apparently named it "Sechs Kanzonetten für zwei Sopran- und eine Bassstimme auf italienische Texte". The original accompanying instruments were three bassett horns or two clarinets and one bassett horn. As the reader can see, the instrumental parts are almost an exact copy of the vocal parts, which suggests they were not written for professionals but maybe for amateur domestic performers (Hausmusik). This is also supported by the relatively small tonal range (barely an octave for Soprano I, a ninth ("none") for Soprano II, and a tenth ("decime") for the Basso; each of these intervals is reached only once). Grace notes in bars 4, 5, 12 and 13 are written to sound. The arrangement of beams, ties and (de-)crescendi is faithfully reproduced. I added the break sym- bols in bars 4 and 12 because the lyrics are missing: they would have provided the necessary phrasing. The invisible dynamic markings are also mine. The last note in the second repeat could do with a tenuto. To obtain a balanced sound on my system I had to reduce the channel pressure (volume) on channel 1 to about 70%. Enjoy!
