Description:
This distinctive work by Michael Oare is based on two Italian dance forms dating back to the Baroque period. 'Siciliano' opens with a delicate 6/8 melody in the flutes which is developed and passed around to various sections of the band. In contrast, 'Tarantella' is a brash and uptempo dance featuring a rhythmic pulse accompanying the flowing melodic lines. Quite a nice pairing of tunes with historical importance.
