Subj: [kl] Searching for a Conti aria (with chalumeau)
Date: Sat, 28 Nov 2009 17:22:07 -0500

For a chamber music festival I direct I would like to program an aria
from Francesco Conti's opera Il Martirio di San Lorenzo, scored for
soprano (voice), soprano chalumeau and strings.
The aria is called "Sento gia mancar la vita".
Bernada Fink recorded it with Il Giardino Armonico. It can be heard
here:

Does anyone know where I can locate the score for either the aria or
the complete opera?
I have exhausted all the avenues I know of (IMSLP, Eastman, Mutopia,
Werner Icking, local school libraries, Worldcat).

Thanks,
