Program Notes
Tarantella. For Flute, Clarinet, Bassoon and Piano
"Salento" is a Tarantella.
Tarantella is a lively dance in 6/8 time featuring quick steps originating in Taranto Italy. The dance was originally a flirtation one where couples danced in a manner to entice courtship, however it is more known as a "dance of hysteria" for when a victim was bitten by a spider (tarantula), it was believed that dancing furiously with tambourines would cure them.
This Tarantella is in ternary form and in A minor and the most complicated note value is a quaver and the highest note is top E. I have kept instrumental parts fairly equal throughout and have placed it at level 3/Intermediate, but the whole score is on the you tube link for you to assess the suitability.
It is ideal as a showpiece, useful for concerts, recitals or simply something a little different to play.
