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.

西西裏舞曲是一種慢步舞曲,起源於意大利的西西裏島,節奏為12/8拍或6/8慢節奏,旋律抒情,伴奏多用分解和弦。
西西裏舞曲起源於巴洛克時期,在古典主義時期非常流行,海頓在他的神劇《創世紀》中,莫紮特在他的《魔笛》中,都用西西裏舞曲風格寫過女高音詠歎調,在出名的馬斯卡尼的歌劇《鄉村騎士》中的結尾《哦,羅拉》也是西西裏舞曲形式的作品。
法國作曲家佛瑞也曾寫過西西裏舞曲,最早出現在莫裏哀戲劇《城市貴族》的配樂,是為鋼琴和大提琴譜寫的室內樂作品,後來也被改變為長笛演奏作品。(摘自維基百科)
