Lombardo, R :: Waltz Italiano

Lombardo Music Publications presents 'Waltz Italiano' for flute choir by Ricky Lombardo. 

The composer writes, 'Waltz Italiano is an original light composition. As it moves along at a steady pace in three-quarter meter, the music is quite ethnic sounding and reminiscent of many of the famous waltzes from Italy.

'With its beautiful melodies, straightforward harmonies, and simple rhythms, this piece is both engaging and accessible. The alternating sections in G minor and G major add variety and keep the music lively throughout. Perfect for an Italian-themed concert or any performance needing a lighter touch, Waltz Italiano can be learned and performance-ready in no time.'

This music is written for expandable flute choir; a successful performance can be done using a quartet of C flutes on the first four parts. As instruments are added they are used to expand the harmonic support, reinforce a line of another part, or introduce new counter melodies.
