## Summary

Sheet music for 'Lo! Hear the Gentle Lark' by Sir Henry Bishop, featuring a conductor score for soprano and orchestra in F Major with text from William Shakespeare.

## Description

LO! HEAR THE GENTLE LARK is a virtuosic song for soprano and obbligato flute with orchestra, composed by Sir Henry Bishop (1787-1856) for his 1819 stage work THE COMEDY OF ERRORS. Setting a text by William Shakespeare (from VENUS AND ADONIS, though often attributed to later poets), the piece opens with a recitative before launching into a brilliant aria that mimics the lark's morning song through rapid vocal flourishes and trills. Celebrated soprano Angelica Catalani helped popularize the song in its early years, and later coloratura sopranos, such as Adelina Patti and Joan Sutherland, made it a favorite showpiece. Instrumentation: 1.2.2.2: 2.2.1.0: Timp: Str (9.8.7.6.5 in set): Solo Soprano Voice. Reprint edition.
