Thread Name: Tune Req: Mamma (from Luciano Pavarotti)
Subject: RE: Tune Req: Mama
BIXIO CESARE ANDREA This is quoted from Bixio's site www.Bixio.com . Mamma was composed in 1940. There are some other websites referring to Bixio (searching Altavista by the words Cesare Andrea Bixio) but no MIDI file. I think our friend rolsin will have to go to a classical music store and get the music sheet, it must be readily available because it is so popular. Unfortunately my old copy is gone someplace.

................. The composer and songwriter Cesare Andrea Bixio (1896-1978), early proved to be a very talented entrepreneur as well as a refined artist and founded the publishing Group that goes by his name back in the 20s. After scoring his first hits, among which the soundtrack of the first Italian talking movie, La Canzone dell'Amore, he worked intensely gathering around him a group of young talented artist which were to become the forefront of the renewal of the Italian song. Year after year, Gruppo Bixio has made its presence felt in the world of music with a repertoire ranging from the famous songs of the past to Italy's best known soundtracks, down to pop and Sanremo hits.
