In 1941, “Mamma” was used in a film starring the great operatic tenor, Beniamino Gigli, in the role of a famous tenor who returns home to Italy from the States with his American wife, just in time the meet his old mother who can finally die in peace. In 1946, English lyrics were written by Harold Barlow and Phil Brito who had their popular recording hit the charts in 1946 under the title of "Mama". “Mamma” has found its place on many a classically trained singer’s rep list as an encore piece, or lighter fare for ethnic festivals and community engagement programs. This arrangement is scored for high voice and uses both the original Italian and English texts. Performance time: 2:30+-.
