Ernesto de Curtis Medley is a musical composition by Nick Ingman, a British composer, arranger, and conductor. The medley is a tribute to the Italian composer and songwriter Ernesto de Curtis, who is best known for his popular songs such as "Torna a Surriento" and "Non ti scordar di me". The composition was premiered in 2003 by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall in London. The medley consists of four movements, each based on a different de Curtis song. The first movement is a lively and upbeat rendition of "Torna a Surriento", which is characterized by its catchy melody and rhythmic drive. The second movement is a more romantic and sentimental interpretation of "Non ti scordar di me", featuring lush strings and a soaring melody. The third movement is a playful and whimsical take on "Voce 'e notte", a lesser-known de Curtis song that showcases the composer's skill at crafting memorable melodies. The final movement is a grand and majestic rendition of "Ti voglio tanto bene", which features a full orchestra and choir and highlights de Curtis's ability to create powerful and emotional music. Overall, the Ernesto de Curtis Medley is a fitting tribute to one of Italy's most beloved composers, showcasing his diverse range of musical styles and influences. Nick Ingman's arrangement is masterful, capturing the essence of de Curtis's music while adding his own unique touch.
