Brindisi I ('Mescetemi il vino!')Genre: Solo Song / Lied / Chanson
Pr. Instruments: Voice & Piano
This piece is a drinking song set to a poem by Andrea Maffei. It is the song of a man who is trying to drown the pain of a broken love affair with wine. The melody glides along extrovertedly in 6/8, and some telling chromatic harmonies color the recollection of the love that has passed. The verse toward the end that expresses gratitude for wine's drowning pain is straightforward in its happiness.
