Nice italian Piece of Music

The original music was slightly altered to fit the limited range of a G-Bagpipe. I do like the change of Keys that sounds very lively when played.

Also known as a Tarrantella but with the first phrase placed at the end and all in the same key. A dance tune as I understand.

Cicerenella

That tune sounds very common to me - isn't it one of the Italian standards - maybe one of the Italians here can tell us more.
What was your source?

Why is this tune called "for Bagpipe"

Due to the limited range on the bagpipe, some keys needed to be rearranged. While playing the tune, the order of the parts were changed in our group to make it sound better (very subjective....)

# Posted on March 11th 2005 by triplewhiskey

Good question triplewhiskey as the keys would not fit the GHBs but they might fit an Italian type of bagpipe and is written for that.

# Posted on March 14th 2005 by Unseen122

Also it goes up to a high B which would not work on GHBs little know fact is that GHBs CAN cross finger notes but it is not done for whatever reason probably because it is against the tradtion and will get you thrown out of a competition if done.
