Programme notes *: "Mediterranean Dances" is a musical composition by composer Bruce Fraser that offers a diverse and vibrant representation of the musical traditions of the Mediterranean. The suite consists of several movements, each representing a specific form of dance from the Mediterranean region. 1. Tarantella: The tarantella is a lively and rhythmic dance that originated in southern Italy. Originally it was believed that the dance served as a cure for tarantula spider bites, hence the name. In music, the tarantella is characterized by its fast tempos, swirling melodies and intense rhythms. It conveys a feeling of joy, liveliness and energy. In the "Mediterranean Dances" suite, the tarantella is perhaps presented as the opening movement, immediately transporting listeners to the vibrant and colorful ambience of the Mediterranean. 2. Sicilienne: The Sicilienne is a slow and graceful dance that derives its name from the Italian region of Sicily. In contrast to the Tarantella, the Sicilienne is characterized by its gentle melodies, slow flowing rhythms and a melancholic atmosphere. It conveys a feeling of calm, melancholy and longing. In the "Mediterranean Dances" suite, the Sicilienne could serve as a contrast to the lively pace of the Tarantella, offering listeners a moment of reflection and pause. 3. Greek Dancing: Greek dances are known for their lively rhythms, dynamic movements and the expressiveness of their traditions. In the "Mediterranean Dances" suite, "Greek Dancing" perhaps represents the diversity of dance forms and musical styles found in Greece. From the fiery sounds of the bouzouki to the elegant steps of the sirtaki, Greek dances can convey a wide range of emotions and moods. This movement could take listeners on a stirring journey through Greek culture and invite them to be carried away by the vibrant sounds and movements.
