Vincent Novello . Scored for Soprano, Double Bass and Piano, Thy Mighty Power was composed in 1837 for Domenico Dragonetti and Clara Novello. This high florid aria was written to exploit the skills of Clara Novello, before her studies in Italy, and there are also many sprightly semiquaver runs for the bassist, all written in the orchestral register of the instrument. Dragonetti was persuaded to come out of retirement to perform in this aria, having retired as a soloist many years before, and it is a fun item for any concert. Only available in orchestral tuning. [New editions are in preparation in solo tuning and with string orchestra accompaniment. Please contact Recital Music for further details.]. Performance Level: 8.. Grade: 8
