A beautiful evergreen by Eduardo di Capua arranged by Antonio Sinópoli “’O SOLE MIO“.
&quot&aposO sole mio&quot is a well-known Neapolitan song written in 1898. Its Neapolitan-language lyrics were written by Giovanni Capurro and the music was composed by Eduardo di Capua (1865–1917) and Alfredo Mazzucchi (1878–1972). The title translates literally as &quotmy sun&quot or &quotmy sunshine&quot. The lyrics have been translated to other languages.
For nearly 75 years after its publication, the music of &quot&aposO sole mio&quot had generally been attributed to Eduardo di Capua alone. According to the traditional account, di Capua had composed it in April 1898 in Odessa, while touring with his father&aposs band. It has turned out, however, that the melody was an elaboration of one of 23 which di Capua had bought from another musician, Alfredo Mazzucchi, in the preceding year.
In November 1972, shortly after her father&aposs death, Mazzucchi&aposs daughter lodged a declaration with Italy&aposs Office of Literary, Artistic and Scientific Property, which sought to have her father recognized as a co-composer of 18 of di Capua&aposs songs, including &quot&aposO sole mio&quot. In October 2002, Maria Alvau, a judge in Turin, upheld the declaration, ruling that Mazzucchi had indeed been a legitimate co-composer of the 18 songs, because they included melodies he had composed and then sold to di Capua in June 1897, with a written authorization for the latter to make free use of them. At the time of the decision, therefore, the melody of &quot&aposO sole mio&quot had not yet - as had been widely supposed - entered into the public domain in any country that was a party to the Berne Convention during the relevant period. In most countries where copyright in a work lasts for 70 years after any of its authors&apos deaths, the melody will remain under copyright until 2042.
