| 解説 | ジュリー・ジルー作曲の「イタリアン・ラプソディー（Italian Rhapsody）」は、陽気で情熱的なイタリアの風景と音楽文化を描いた華やかな吹奏楽作品。軽快な舞曲リズムやカンツォーネ風の旋律が次々と現れ、明るく人懐っこいエネルギーに満ちています。各セクションが巧みに掛け合い、色彩豊かなハーモニーがステージを彩ります。陽光あふれる南欧の情景を思わせる、ユーモアと活気に満ちたジルーの人気ラプソディーです。 (出版社のオリジナル解説） 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. |
