Angelo Mazzola (Bergamo 1887 1974), owner of one of the most renowned tailoring shops in Bergamo, alternated the craft activity with his passion for music and poetry. As an adolescent, he began the study of the guitar; later he carried on the study of music composition as an autodidact. In 1907, he was one of the founder members of the Eb, turning out to be one of its mainstays for the whole period of the partnership. As a performer, he took part with the quartet of Eb in Il Concorso nazionale quartettistico held in Milan on 1st November 1923, winning the first prize (ex-aequo with Quartetto Lodi) with 27, 3/30 points. The Estudiantina was given the Memorial Plaque C. Munier for the highest marks obtained in the fixed piece. He composed Il Pianto di Glauco inspired by Ovids Metamorphoses XIII, ll. 898-969 and XIV .ll. 1-74:(line 68) Flevit amans Glaucus Glaucus in love wept and fleeing away avoided the wedlock with Circe, who had profited by the power of herbs with too much cruelty.

Brano musicale estratto dal concerto tenuto a Bergamo -Sala Piatti in Cittè Alta e dedicato agli autori di Mandolino a Bergamo in occasione della presentazione di un doppio CD per il centenario della nascita della storica Estudiantina Bergamasca (1910-2010).
L'autore del brano è Angelo Mazzola (1887-1974) che ha iniziato da adolescente lo studio della chitarra proseguendo poi da autodidatta lo studio della composizione musicale. Nel 1907 lo troviamo tra i soci fondatori dellEstudiantina Bergamasca nella quale fu una delle colonne portanti del sodalizio. Le sue composizioni, dedicate alla chitarra e agli strumenti a corde pizzicate nelle loro varie formazioni (duo, quartetto e orchestra) hanno avuto una buona diffusione in Italia nei prini anni del 900 e ancora più buona in Giappone, grazie allopera di Mitsutama Okamura, musicologo e cantante allievo di Mario del Monaco a Firenze.
Pietro Ragni al Mandolino, Mario Rota alla Chitarra, fanno parte dell Orchestra Estudiantina Bergamo
