BACAROLE IN MASUNIELLO. English, Air (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. La muette de Portici (The Mute Girl of Portici, or The Dumb Girl of Portici), also called Masaniello in some versions,[1] is an opera in five acts by Daniel Auber, with a libretto by Germain Delavigne. It was first staged in 1828 at the Paris Opera. The tune, as a bacarole, a traditional folk song sung by Venetian gondoliers or a piece of music composed in that style, was published in London in 1829 by T. Valentine, who also published a set of quadrilles from the balled in 1830. The tune was entered in the mid-19th century music manuscript of William Winter, a shoemaker and violin player who lived in West Bagborough in Somerset, southwest England.
