The work is notable for having a virtuoso part for the viola da gamba. The work is scored for two recorders (flauto), oboes (hautbois), two violins, viola da gamba, a "Violone Grosso" (as specified in Handel's autograph) and, as customary practice in the 18th century, a harpsichord. It is possible that the cardinal was also directing the warning specifically to Handel, as there was a rumour at the time about a relationship between Handel (then twenty-two) and the singer Vittoria Tarquini (who was the mistress of Prince Ferdinand de' Medici of Florence). Using the analogy of butterflies attracted to a flame, and the story of Daedalus (who constructed wings made from wax and feathers for himself and his son Icarus), Pamphili uses the cantata to issue a warning to his audience: that the phoenix can rise from the flames, however the butterflies will be killed. The payment on 6 July 1707 (recorded in Pamphili's account books) for the copying of a large cantata probably refers to Tra le fiamme. Purely instrumental numbers are not always indexed.The text for the work was written by Cardinal Benedetto Pamphili. While care was taken during the preparation of the index, it has not been proofread. Check with libraries, book stores, record stores, and online stores and resources. There are no links from this index to Internet sites. This is an index, and refers to books and recordings only. Words in song titles are usually capitalised, and distinctive phrases are generally in lower case. There are no accented letters in this index (it was begun when most computers didn't handle accented letters). * The Type column indicates whether the source has words, music, an audio recording, a video recording, or information about the song.įor alphabetisation, leading articles in English and French ( a, an, the, un, une, le, la, les, and l') have been inverted, but this has generally not been done for any other language. * The Page column, for a book, gives the page number within the book where the song may be found. Or use the site search feature in the upper right hand corner of the page. To use them you will have to go to the top of the page, follow the link to the appropriate section of the index, and search within that section. These cross references are not active links. Use caution, as a cross reference from song A to song B and from song B to song C does not necessarily mean that song A and song C are related. Songs that are related may be different versions of the same song, songs that share a tune, or songs that share a theme. This text may be an alternative title a distinctive phrase from the song to assist in identifying songs when the title is not known the name of the tune followed by "(tune)" a reference such as "Child #085", which means it is number 85 in the collection of Francis James Child the title of a related song or the name of a generic theme such as "broken token" ballad or "night visiting" song. The column may also contain the word "see" followed by text. If the book or recording is from the collection of one of my friends, it contains a note such as "(collection of ABC)".

* The Location or Cross Reference column contains the name of the book or recording, plus the name of the author or performer. The column may also contain capitalised initials, representing the identity of one of my friends whose books or recordings are in the index. If words and music were composed by different people, the author of the words is preceded by "w:", and the composer of the music is preceded by "m:". The column also contains the name of the composer, if known. * The Title column contains the name of the song or tune, and for some songs a distinctive phrase from the chorus or from a verse. The index has somewhat outgrown its origins.
It had been annoying me to have to pull out many albums to find the one song I wanted. The index began very modestly as a homegrown database to enable me to locate songs in my collection of about 30 vinyl albums. The emphasis is on traditional folk songs in the English language, though there are songs in other languages (notably French), modern folk songs, and some instrumentals.
This is an index of the folk songs in books and recordings in my collection, plus some of the books and recordings in the collections of friends. Home > Personal > Folk Song Index > I - K
