Description
This is a setting for 2 upper voices and piano of a famous dance-like Folksong from Tuscany, Italy. The music can be sung either in Italian or in English. A mixed choir formation can be used to perform this setting, Soprano and Bass/Baritone, instead of the presented form for Soprano and Alto. The recorded clip is performed by children during a concert in 2011.
