Luigi Canoro: "Giorni Felici"
Published by Di Bella, New York, 1921
This is an Italian waltz, written by Luigi Canoro (or "Canora", as his name was given on some of his titles), a prolific dance music composer writing for the Italian-American community in New York. As is typical for these dance tunes, the original music was published as trio with two mandolin parts plus guitar accompaniment. I have played the original three parts, and have added a mandocello part extracted from the guitar bass line.
1890s Umberto Ceccherini mandolin
Mid-Missouri M-0W mandolin

The sheet music is from Sheri's Di Bella archive -- I've attached it here for easy reference.
