Andante e Tarantella for Clarinet Ensemble, by Giuseppe Maucione

This piece dedicated to the Clarinet Ensemble "Panarmónia" G. De Falco was conceived as a "Chorus of clarinets" designed to enhance the technical-expressive characteristics of the ensemble.

The chamber piece with a sweet and poetic character, almost a dream, recalls a persuasive Serenade, a romantic thought subdued by the rays of the Moon that rest on the night sea.

The trend of the Tarantella is introduced by a typically Neapolitan theme, with hints of a chromatic nature. The opposing voices follow one another in a grotesque way, enhancing the cheerful and ironic character typical of this ternary dance.

The expression of the various harmonic intertwining highlights the lightness and lightheartedness of the musical team.
