Composed by Ottorino Respighi. Arranged by Stanley M. Hoffman. 20th Century. Octavo. 8 pages. Stanleymhoffman.com #5200131. Published by stanleymhoffman.com (A0.924875).Composed in 1906, the secular art song Nebbie (Mists) by Ottorino Respighi (1879–1936) is a setting of poem by Ada Negri (1870–1945). I have been drawn to this song ever since studying voice at The Boston Conservatory. The words focus on loneliness and the darker aspects of nature, and the music is appropriately "fatalistic-sounding" in response. The deceptively simple-sounding scaler motion of chords in the piano combined with the melodic line that mirrors that motion but adds dramatic intervallic leaps, results in a very dramatic song. The addition of choral lines here enhances the drama inherent in the harmonies. This is a great choice for choir directors seeking a different kind of challenge for their groups. It can even be used in Halloween programs. Italian and English.
