| 解説 | Italian Rhapsody is a collection of Italian folk songs and a few operatic excerpts scored with Italian gusto! Solo Clarinet opens this work with a certain Mafioso flair developing into a devious rendition of ”The Italian Wedding Song #2” (The Wedding Tarantella). ”Caderna，” composed by A. D. Arcangelo， is presented in both an Italian street band and contemporary march style. Giacomo Puccini’s La Boh me ”Quando m’en vo” (Musetta’s Waltz) makes an appearance as an accordion player serenading young lovers in the moonlight. The finale features Luigi Denza’s ”Funiculi! Funicula!，” Giuseppi Verdi’s Il Trovatore (Act II - Anvil Chorus) and Gioacchino Rossini’s Barber of Seville. Italian operatic and folk song musical quotes are interlaced throughout the work. See if you can find them all! Scored with an Italian passion for family and feasting， Italian Rhapsody is definitely one very Spicy Meatball! - J.G. |
