Bravissimo! Finalmente ho compreso "la siciliana", spesso trascurata e detta solo come una giga lenta. Ottime le immagini e il montaggio. E tutto molto chiaro. Thanks
This is a marvelous find for me. I've been composing for almost fifty years, and, after a life time of exposure to these forms, I have an innate knowledge of the contours of the Baroque and Classical era dance forms. But you're absolutely right to say they get very short shrift both in the curriculum and the literature. I wrote a siciliana in a concerto some years ago. I got the basic idea right, I think, but it was from listening to them, not from any explicit knowledge. Having picked up the Baroque Lute recently, I've begun composing for that now, and in that effort this channel is an absolute boon. Thank you again for your fantastic content. Well done.
From what I can tell, the Galop has a similar rhythm to the polonaise and polka both, but is generally faster. And like a lot of polonaises, it tends to be packed with the rhythmic motive, especially in the A section. A trio is common to see, as is rondo form. Like the Polka, it’s generally in 2/4 or some kind of duple meter. Rhythmic motive for a Galop tends to be Dotted eighth Sixteenth
I watch many, many, you tube videos to inspire my work as an amateur composer. This video and this series are truly excellent: informative, clear, well constructed, a celebration of and respectful to the historical periods in music and often I quite moving. Thank you
Hello! Would you be willing to make videos on Forms such as the Pavane, Forlane, Riggadun, Passacaglia, Toccata, and/or the Gigue? All of these seem like very interesting Forms that I’d love to learn more about!
A useful term to describe the use of stylistic elements in a new context is "musical topic" (somebody should also really get to making a video on that term). Topic theorists I've read also relate the siciliana rhythm and elements to pastoral genres, which are not melancholy at all (though the "pastoral" as style usually has less dotted rhythms).
I only know this beautiful piece by Matteo Carcassi. Interesting this has this backround, i tought "Siciliana" was only a song title. ua-cam.com/video/w4pbApwxQI8/v-deo.html
I don't know who is playing the Bach Siciliano here but it's very heavy handed. Galway often does that and plays Bach as if it's Romantic music. I prefer Rampal's sound. I play it a bit lighter myself; ua-cam.com/video/J8mWyRydbUs/v-deo.html
I can’t use whatever recording I want, I often would prefer to use other recordings, but labels don’t seem to care about fair use laws, and UA-cam content ID is very sophisticated.
What about the French? Btw, Musica Universalis, many respects and thanks! And you all pronounce these continental words very well. Except for " musette de cour". Please pronounce it like " coor". If " cur" it will sound like " coeur ( heart)", whereas you intend " cour (court)". All the best and keep on, please!

Another amazing video. I would like to see other forms, such as Tarantella and Gallop.

One of the most beautiful forms : )

I love your vídeos on musical form. It would be great to see a vídeo on Hemiola.
Thanks, this was really insightful. I would never have guessed that Stille Nacht is an example of the Siciliana!
Gotta love a good ol' siciliana. One of my favorites is the slow movement from Haydn's Symphony no. 81.
Ah Papa Haydn : )
Ive missed these!
The Faure is a beautiful suite indeed.
What is the name of the suite? I’m trying to find it.

Here’s the Fauré Suite; it’s from his Opus 80! ☺️

This channel is awesome
This is a great video, thanks for your hard work and sharing your knowledge.
Great video with great examples, I find the Siciliana from Mozarts second piano sonata especially endearing.
You are great! Thank you very much!
great video as always
Great video!
Great video. Super interesting and very nice production. Thanks a lot :)
Thank you for this wonderful video!

Thank you so much, these videos are invaluable. Do you think you could do one on the barcarola and how it differs from the Siciliana?
Bravo Master! And many thanks
Thanks for uploading (:
I wrote a song two years ago something like similar to a Siciliana
You should do a video on La Mantovana.
Isn't there a Siciliana from an orchestral suite of Bach that is really quick and energetic?
Thank you so much!
What is the piece in the beginning of the video @ 0:12 ? Is it one of handel's sonatas?
This is the Serenata movement of Stravinsky’s Pulcinella Suite, which is a Neo-Baroque ballet suite.
Is it like a barcarole or a lullaby?
Thanxalot

Interesting exposition, but please, change the scores type/style presentation, the nothes cannot be seen
Sorry, I meat the ones you use for haendel
It's always funny as an italian to listen how foreigners pronounce italian names.
I did my best 🤷🏻♂️
@@MusicaUniversalis that's fine, the video is very good.
I'm sure you pronouncing certain English words is also funny haha.
