In the last few years, Ponchielli’s work has been enjoying a marked reappraisal among musicians and scholars. In the last two decades this renaissance has undoubtedly been due to the continual rediscovery of Ponchielli manuscripts which have considerably expanded the list of his works.

Now an interesting group of vocal chamber works for song and piano has come to light, recovered from autograph manuscripts and from some posthumous publications of the late-nineteenth and early Twentieth Century.
