Viva Italia!

Viva Italia! takes audiences on a musical journey through Italy, in the form of a medley bringing together four popular and iconic Italian melodies.

The work opens with Va, pensiero, in a noble and lyrical atmosphere, before giving way to the charm of Bella Bimba. The famous Bella Ciao then brings a new energy, before Funiculì, Funiculà leads the work towards a festive and brilliant finale.

Written for developing concert bands, this arrangement features accessible writing while giving each section an active role in the musical development.

With its energetic, melodic and festive character, Viva Italia! is particularly suited to concerts, festivals, community bands and educational projects exploring Italian culture.
