with the family to London around 1752. After three
years at Covent Garden he brought out his first comic
opera. In 1762 he appeared at the Theatre Royal,
Haymarket as a singer. In 1764 he settled in Dublin. He
was one of the leading musicians in the Irish capital
from 1764 to 1781, when he returned to London; after
two years, he came back to Dublin, where he spent the
remainder of his life. He had a stake in an
opera-house, which he founded in 1783, and in a music
shop, neither of which was financially successful.
While "Caro Mio Ben" traditionally attributed to
Giuseppe Giordani, scholar John Glen Paton proposes
that it is actually by Tommaso Giordani in his book 26
Italian Songs And Arias: An Authoritative Edition Based
On Authentic Sources. The Nanki Library copy is bound
in a volume of publications by Tommaso Giordani, which
may reinforce this notion.
Although originally written as an Aria for Voice,
Strings & Basso Continuo, Guido Papini created an
arrangement for Flute & Piano. I then created this
arrangement for Flute & Concert (Pedal) Harp.
