Cities Of Italy, The

This song is based on a catchy tune that you will very likely recognize called, "Tarantella Napoletana," written by Luigi Ricci in 1852. Our adaptation uses an authentic sounding Italian accompaniment, complete with solo clarinet, mandolin, accordion, winds, and strings. The fun and challenge with this song is in the tempos. It starts at a reasonable allegro. Even at this relatively calm pace, it takes a lot of concentration and enunciation to get all of the lyrics out clearly. But then, the tempo suddenly springs to presto. That's where the real challenge begins. It's all the same lyrics, but done at a much quicker clip. It's a really great chance for your singers to show off their skills. (from Music K-8, Vol. 36, No. 3)
