Classical Music Discoveries

Tracklisting

I. St. Mark's Square:  This jubilant 6/8 movement is in the style of the great Venetian master, Vivaldi. It expresses the mood of the great gathering center of the island.

II. Bridge of Sighs: This slow movement is evoking the walk across the Bridge of Sighs. The bridge was the last place a prisoner would see daylight before going to the dungeons. The slow steady rhythm of the guitar are the steps of the prisoner where the strings are the sound of the heaviness of their heart.

III: Carnival: This rhythmic conclusion of the piece is capturing the spirit of this festive occasion on the isle with a dissonant middle section reflecting some of the darker characters portrayed at this time.
