    For Hannibal and the link to Phantom

    Your second Hannibal is actually my second. What operas did he compose? Look at Vivaldi Op. 1 for the third.

        Fabri's compositions included a setting of the popular Metastasio libretto Alessandro nell'Indie.

        But you've got the I, mercia, I think...
        "...the isle is full of noises,
        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                      I was looking at his Concerto for Three Hands on One Piano and his two Viola Concertos, but your version is perfectly valid.
