Siciliana
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The siciliana or siciliano is a musical style or genre often included as a movement within larger pieces of music starting in the Baroque period. It is in a slow 6/8 or 12/8 time with lilting rhythms making it somewhat resemble a slow jig, and is usually in a minor key.
It was used for arias in Baroque operas, and often appeared as a movement in instrumental works. The siciliano evokes a pastoral mood, and is often characterized by dotted rhythms.
Works in siciliana rhythm appear occasionally in the Classical period. Joseph Haydn, perhaps inspired by the bucolic associations of the genre, wrote a siciliana aria for soprano in his oratorio The Creation, "Nun beut die Flur das frische Grün" ("With verdure clad the fields appear"), to celebrate the creation of plants. For Mozart, the hesitating rhythm of the siciliana lent itself to the portrayal of grief, and some of Mozart's most powerful musical utterances are tragic sicilianas: the aria for soprano "Ach, ich fühl's, es ist verschwunden" from The Magic Flute, the F sharp minor slow movement of the Piano Concerto, K. 488, and the finale of the String Quartet in D minor, K. 421.
The third movement of Domenico Cimarosa's Oboe Concerto is a siciliana. Other examples of sicilianos are featured in the last movement of Carl Maria von Weber's Violin Sonata No. 5 and the second movement of Anton Reicha's Clarinet Quintet in F major, Op. 107.
The 18/19th century guitar virtuoso Mauro Giuliani (1781-1829) was very fond of the siciliana form and frequently composed in it. A notable example of this is in his First Guitar Concerto in A major op 30, II movement.
In the Romantic era Brahms wrote a siciliana as the nineteenth variation in his "Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel" for solo piano.
Hélène's aria, "Merci, jeunes amies" from Verdi's opera Les vêpres siciliennes is another example of a siciliana, suited to its setting, and is referred to as such in the score, even though it is popularly called a bolero.
Examples of sicilianas in 20th century music include Igor Stravinsky's Serenata from Pulcinella, Ottorino Respighi's Siciliana from "Ancient Airs and Dances", Suite No.3, and Malcolm Arnold's Siciliano in Little Suite No. 1 for Brass.

西西里舞曲是一种慢步舞曲,起源于意大利的西西里岛,节奏为12/8拍或6/8慢节奏,旋律抒情,伴奏多用分解和弦。
西西里舞曲起源于巴洛克时期,在古典主义时期非常流行,海顿在他的神剧《创世纪》中,莫扎特在他的《魔笛》中,都用西西里舞曲风格写过女高音咏叹调,在出名的马斯卡尼的歌剧《乡村骑士》中的结尾《哦,罗拉》也是西西里舞曲形式的作品。
法国作曲家佛瑞也曾写过西西里舞曲,最早出现在莫里哀戏剧《城市贵族》的配乐,是为钢琴和大提琴谱写的室内乐作品,后来也被改变为长笛演奏作品。(摘自维基百科)
