In my arrangement of “Matin” by Paul Delmet, I decided to give the chanson a fast-paced, cartoonish treatment. The main melody appears in a variety of guises, quickly changing from one presentation to the next. The characters of “Matin” leave the sentimental scene of the original chanson and get into all sorts of hilarious adventures. -

Villa Benedetta
Elpidio Benedetti’s villa near Porta San Pancrazio was designed by the Roman architect, sculptor and painter Plautilla Bricci, who was the only female architect of her time. Though Benedetti claimed that Plautilla only assisted her brother Basilio, the surviving building contract and drawings attribute the design of the villa solely to Plautilla. Benedetti subsequently commissioned Plautilla Bricci to design another work, the chapel in San Luigi dei Francesi in Rome for which she also carved reliefs and sculpture. Villa Benedetta was completed in 1665. It was destroyed in 1849 during the bombing of the Roman Republic. -
