• Reardon 2010: n. 39 (Serenata composed in honor of the wedding of Tolomeo Gallo, Duke of Alvito (see TCC no. 38). Juliane Riepe proposes that the same singers who performed Fago’s È più caro il piacer doppo le pene also performed this work and suggests that Tamburini might have sung the role of Galatea. This would not have been out of the question, for Tamburini had sung a female role in an oratorio performance in Florence in 1705 (see TCC no. 34). The music for Galatea, intended for a “mezzosoprano corto” with considerable agility would have certainly suited Tamburini’s voice.
