Scipio (1726) was an opera in three acts with music by George Frideric Handel [[1]]. The libretto was written by Paolo Antonio Rolli, based on a libretto by Antonio Salvi and on the histories of Livy. It was first performed at the King's Theatre, London, in March, 1726. Handel had just become Kapellmeister to George, Elector of Hanover. When the Elector was crowned King George I in 1712 Handel traveled with him to London, where he settled. He later became a naturalized English British subject.
"March in Scipio" has been the Regimental Slow March of the British Grenadier Guards since the 18th century.
- ↑ Daniel Wright was a music publisher in London who flourished from around 1709-1735, who also appears to have been a maker and/or seller of musical instruments. His son, Daniel Wright Jr., was also in the music publishing business. Wright Sr.'s printing plates came into the hands of another London music publisher, John Johnson, who issued the 1740 copy of "Wright's Compleat Collection of Celebrated Country Dances." However, the Wright's original publication was probably a few decades prior to Johnson's issue.
