The Korena take
Richard Meyer's orchestral arrangement brings together two contrasting dances from Ponchielli's La Gioconda. It keeps the character of the original while resetting the music in G major and using 4/4 instead of the original 4/8. For student players, the piece creates a focused opportunity to work through different dance-style techniques within one selection. Its familiar melodies also give the audience a clear point of connection across its roughly three-minute-twenty-second duration.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Student orchestra rehearsals developing techniques across two distinctly paced dance sections
- Concert programming that benefits from recognizable operatic melodies in an approachable revised meter
