Composed by Paul Pisano. Romantic Period,Opera,Recital,Comedy. Score. 5 pages. Published by PWP Enterprises (S0.195225).

The subject of this limerick is a fictional visit to see relatives in Italy; hence, it is set as a lively, catchy tarantella and begins with a verse in Italian (a rhyming, roughly metric translation of the original English text). The music is broadly inspired by La danza from the Soirées musicales and the style is unabashedly Rossinian, though it does not quote or paraphrase any specific musical material. While still short (ca. 2:00), it presents challenges of ornamentation and register that are comparable to those one finds in many bel canto arias.


To be performed in recital as part of the complete Seven Limerick Songs or a smaller group excerpted therefrom, or alone as a recital closer or encore. Italian and English words by the composer.
