Origins of the Tarantella The tarantella is a popular southern Italian dance with origins in the 11th century. (There is even some mention of the tarantella in ancient Greek mythology.) Of the possible sources of the dance, the most popular comes from the villages of Tanto and Tarentum (little spider), Italy. During harvest, workers in the field were sometimes bitten by the tarantula spider. To combat the poison, the afflicted workers went into a frenetic, almost musical exorcism to sweat the venom out of their pores. In the millennium since, the very energetic nature of the dance has remained, although the curative focus of the dance has given way to more enjoyable endeavors, even stately courtship. Origins of the Text Christopher Smart (1722-1771), also known as Kit Smart or Jack Smart, was born in Kent, England and suffered from what is now believed to be acute asthma and other health issues as a child. As such, he did not work in the fields, but spent much time reading and writing, a passion that he nurtured for a lifetime. Well known in London literary circles, his career as a writer floundered due to mounting debts and his falling out of favor with the literary establishment: Sadly, he was forced to confinement at St. Luke's Hospital for Lunatics, though this was based on his mounting debt, and not on insanity. (Confinement, or debtor's prison, was common during this period if one's debts could not be paid.) During his confinement, he worked on two of his most famous works, Jubilate Agno and A Song of David. (Part of Jubilate Agno [Rejoice in the Lamb] was set to music by English composer, Benjamin Britten.) Smart's writing style (which, at times, bordered on the absurd), along with his many obsessions, lead to frequent misperceptions of his work and his lucidity. In this present work, portions of Smart's Jubilate Agno were used in mm. 24-31, 103-110 and 149-156. The remaining text was gathered by the composer, including the rapid, almost patter-like, delivery of words from A-Z in the alphabet. (Christopher Smart had a preoccupation with the alphabet.) These words both rhyme and accentuate the frenetic nature of the spider dance: theraphosa [teh-rah-fo-sa] a genus of tarantula spiders bellicose [beh-lee-ko-sah] hostile; aggressive odiosa [o-dee-o-sa] hateful; vexation tenebrosa [teh-neh-bro-sa] creeping; dark nemorosa [neh-mo-ro-sa] wooded; shady lapidosa [lah-pee-do-sa] stony area; gritty The convergence, then, of the medieval tarantella (spider dance), the writings of a brilliant poet who bordered on the absurd, and the infusion of strong, descriptive and otherwise random, rhyming words, synthesizes to make dramatic lyrics for this work. About the Composer Z. Randall Stroope is an American composer and conductor. He has served as Professor of Music at three universities (an Endowed Professor at two), conducted 47 all-state choirs, and directed over 40 times at Carnegie Hall, among other American venues. Randall guest conducts full-time, and composes from his home studios on Merritt Island, Florida and in Sandia Park, New Mexico. Performance Notes Text: In Latin, the r is flipped; use s instead of z on endings such as phosa, cosa, and so on; the Latin o is a cross between oh and aw; in the transliteration above, I chose to simply use an o for consistency. The director will blend the oh and aw in the rehearsals to his/her own preference. Lastly, tarantula is pronounced tah-rah-n-too-lah (avoid teh-ran-choo-luh) within the confines of this text. Stomp: This can be done by the entire chorus, or just the first row. It is as much visual as it is auditory. The string quartet is preferred over piano when that option affords itself. I created a piano score that is a viable option and included it in the piano/vocal score if a performance uses chorus/piano.

Composed by David Well. Score Only. 9 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000548-215. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000548-215).

David Well composed ‘X-mas for Three’ for three young pupils of his, who wished to give a Christmas concert.
He arranged six well-known Christmas songs for them, and their first performance was a great success. This was reason for the composer to adapt the piece for ‘orchestra’ by adding percussion.
The title has stayed the same, and the work can still be played by as few as three musicians, but as the saying goes: “The more, the merrier”!

‘X-mas for Three’ consists of the following parts :
1. Oh du fröhliche
2. Kling, Glöckchen, kling
3. Gloria in excelsis deo
4. Joy to the world!
5. The first Noel
6. We wish you a MerryChristmas


David Well componeerde ‘X-mas for Three’ voor drie jeugdige leerlingen die een Kerstconcert wilden geven.
Hij bewerkte zes bekende kerstliederen voor hen en zij oogsten veel succes met hun eerste optreden. Dit was de reden voorde componist om het stuk geschikt te maken voor ‘orkest’ en voegde daarom percussie toe.
De titel is gelijk gebleven en het stuk kan nog steeds met z’n drieën gespeeld worden maar met meer mag ook en dat is natuurlijk nog veelleuker.

Sitting behind his desk in his new office, David Well thought : 'Well Done!

A lot of daylight, fresh colors and a beautiful view of the rural setting.
And you can hear it. Well Done!: light, cheerful and excited, in a pop / rock style with an slight hint of blues.

Zittend achter zijn bureau in zijn nieuwe werkplek, dacht David Well: 'Well Done!'
Na weken ploeteren had hij z'n oude werkhok toch maar mooi omgetoverd tot een fijne ruimte.
Veel daglicht, frisse kleuren en een prachtiguitzicht op de landelijke omgeving. En dat is te horen. Well Done!: luchtig, opgeruimd en opgewekt, in een pop/rock stijl met af en toe een vleugje blues.
