Santa Maria And Funiculi, Funicula: Arranged For Tenor And Small Ensemble (Italian Edition)

Two great Neapolitan songs with Italian lyrics together in the same book and arranged for tenor and small ensemble in just the right keys. Small ensemble consists of violin 1, violin 2, viola and piano. Play with all instruments or just voice and piano or add any of the other instruments. Italian stylistic effects to make your performance sound as authentic as possible. The timeless Santa Maria is a favorite of the gondoliers of Venice. Beautiful slow waltz that brings out the beauty and sentiment of Naples. The tarantella-like Funiculi, funicula has been so popular that it has been countlessly used on TV, stage and screen. Originally published in 1880 as a joke for the new tram up the side of the volcano Vesuvius, it's catchy rhythm evokes the fun and la dolce vita of Italy. Essential must-have for the repertoire of the Italian tenor. Here in great arrangements by American composer James Nathaniel Holland.
