Comus (Arne) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Comus (Arne)
''Comus'' is a masque in three acts by composer Thomas Arne. The work uses a libretto by John Dalton (1709-1763) that is based on John Milton's 1634 masque of the same name. The work premiered at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in London on 4 March 1738.〔John A. Parkinson: "Comus (ii)", ''Grove Music Online'' ed. L. Macy (Accessed February 16, 2009), ((subscription access) )〕 ==History== ''Comus'' was Arne’s first major success, and the masque enjoyed regular revivals throughout his lifetime. The work boasts some of his finest music with songs like "Now Phoebus sinketh in the West" and "Would you taste the noontide air" displaying a fresh lyrical style. The work was published in 1740 but without the recitatives and choruses. The original score containing the additional music is now lost, but a copy of that score, made around 1785, does exist with all of the original music and some additional pieces taken from Handel’s ''L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato'' that supplement Arne’s limited chorus writing.〔
