Salento. A modern Tarantella for Wind Trio and Piano. (2 Flutes, Bass Clarinet and Piano)

"Salento" is a Modern Tarantella. Arranged here for 2 Flutes, Bass Clarinet and Piano.

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 Intermediate level, but the whole score is on the youtube 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. It is 2 mins 45 in length

Price is for the Full score and all parts.
