Vieni, vieni o mio diletto
This is a beautiful short aria by Vivaldi.
Not only short, it also has a smaller range than most arias, making it easier for your students to learn.
Soaring intervals in the melody
This melody, despite having short repeating lines (the form is AABB), has lovely soaring intervals that make you WANT to sing them! Listen to Victoria Taranova (a Russian singer) in the following still video:
A lead line for the vocalists
Here is just the vocal line, with chords, for this beautiful short aria in SIX different keys:
Please scroll down the page for the links to the free vocal line pdfs.
What the lyrics mean
What is the singer saying? "Vieni, vieni, o mio diletto!" This translates as
"Come, come, o my delight!"
The rest of "Vieni, vieni" ,
"che il mio core tutto affetto
Gia t'aspetta e ogn'or ti chiama," translates to:
"that my heart, all affection, already awaits and already calls!"
One nice thing about this slow but lovely aria is that your students need to learn very few lyrics! And there are no additional verses - only one verse.

So why should you buy "Vieni" from me, aside from the fact that music stores charge more for just one copy (not counting postage or sales tax!), while I am only charging $5.00 for the right to print unlimited copies (for your students only)?
It is available immediately as a digital download onto your computer.
You don't have to download any new software into your computer in order to download this PDF. I don't know about you, but I hate clogging up my computer with yet another program I didn't know I needed. You just need a version of Adobe Acrobat or another PDF reader, which all computers come with. If you DON'T have Adobe Acrobat or a similar program, then you couldn't download any of my other PDFs either.
The notes and lyrics are a little bigger than the copies currently available in music stores, making reading easier!
Speaking of reading the music, you can print this music on any kind of paper you want, and thus avoid the glare of shiny pages (so irritating for accompanists!).
Write and make notes all over these copies, in red and other colors, without feeling you are spoiling your music for posterity. I dislike messing up my music books, but learning the piece is always the first priority. These printouts will make great working copies.
Do you need a letter of permission in order to use this music at a competition? Write me through the Contact Me form, and I will email you a personal letter.
I give you permission to make unlimited copies legally (for your students only). When you need music, you usually need it NOW. Your accompanist, your soloist-student... let them have this music without fear of copyright infringement.
