Iiro Rantala's
Veneziana for chamber
ensemble and piano
(2021-2022) is a 50
minute long program about
all things Venice; how
famous composers were
affected by the city, how
they affected the city
and became part of the
Venetian Story –
told with an Iiro twist.
The meeting of Prokofiev
and Diaghilev turns into
a real nutcracker ballet
Romeo and Steve, whilst
Mozart loses his mojo
when visiting Venice.
Monteverdi starts and
Verdi completes the waltz
boom - and Sibelius finds
his national romantic
melancholy
again.
Veneziana
is scored for wind and
string quintets and a
pianist. This product is
a study score (A4 sized,
spiral bounding). The
performance material is
available for hire from
the
publisher.
