From the Opera Cavalleria Rusticana. Composed by Pietro Mascagni. Arranged by Jos van de Braak. Baton Music vocal series. From the Opera Cavalleria Rusticana. Full score. Duration 3:00. Baton Music #BM749-SCORE. Published by Baton Music (BF.BM749-SCORE).Cavalleria Rusticana is a tempestuous drama of adultery and revenge set in a remote Italian village. Its earthy passions, bold confrontational scenes and richly melodic score set a fashion for so-called 'verismo' opera that would endure for more than a decade. Ultimately Cavalleria Rusticana became Mascagni's most successful opera. It is still a great repertoire favorite, almost always double-billed with Ruggiero Leoncavallo's Pagliacci. The aria 'Il cavallo scalpita' is sung by Alfio, a carter: He sings that, though the world is full of troubles, it doesn't bother him for he has a wonderful wife and a fun life.
