Henrik Rung (1807-1871)

Voice

Canzonette Italiane Populari
(Canzonette Lombarde)
for two voices and guitar or piano
edited by Jens Bang-Rasmussen

Henrik Rung composed this collection of eight Italian duets in Italy, probably during his visit in 1838-40. The songs were published in 1844 (Copenhagen, C. A. Reitzel).

He dedicated the songs to the composer Giacomo Meyerbeer (1791-1864), whom he met in about 1840. Rung asked for his opinion of his songs, and Meyerbeer's answer showed a very positive view of them. This must be the reason for his dedication to Meyerbeer.

These songs can also be performed for just a solo voice and guitar.

Thanks to the Royal Library, Copenhagen for providing the original score.
