"Oh, What a Sweet Loving Charm"
Vinatieri's The American Volunteer contains only one aria, “Oh! what a Sweet Loving Charm.” Vinatieri described this composition as being in a “Mexican style.” From the first few notes of the accompaniment the Spanish influence is identifiable in its striking similarity to the “Habanera” from Bizet’s Carmen.
"Oh Dear My Sweet Love"
"Oh! What a Sweet Loving Charm" is the Act I duet, takes place between Tom and Minnie after they have heard Minnie’s mother Rosa promise Minnie’s hand in marriage to Lord Leighton, in exchange for his estate. The theme of separated lovers is very familiar within the opera genre, yet the work is distinguished by its period and setting, just prior to the Revolutionary War.
"The Beautiful Spring is Coming"
"The Beautiful Spring is Coming" is the opening chorus to Vinatieri's The American Volunteer, and immediately sets the joyous and light-hearted nature of the plot that is to unfold.
