"Alto Giove", sung by the character Acis (Italian: Aci) in Nicola Antonio Porpora's "Polifemo", has been brought to great popularity by the motion picture Farinelli, where the protagonist prominently sings it. The poignant thanks to his creator for the gift of immortality that comes at the ultimate price resonated summarized the theme of the movie perfectly and also resonated with the audiences.
"Alto Giove" is a showpiece of Porpora's artistry as much as it is of his pupil's, Farinelli. The beautiful vocal lyrical composition shows Porpora's deep musicality – and his trust in Farinelli's ability to captivate the audience in the absence of vocal stunts.
