Description
Based on the world-famous Neapolitan song by Luigi Denza, this Funiculi-Funicula Rhapsody is a brilliant and imaginative fantasy for brass band. Arranged by the renowned Japanese composer Yo Goto and transcribed for brass band by Michael Gerasi, the work transforms the simple “funicular” tune into a sophisticated rhapsody. It moves through various moods and stylesâfrom playful and fleet-footed to grand and symphonicâshowcasing the technical agility and stylistic range of the entire band. It is a vibrant and high-quality concert item that puts a modern twist on a classic favorite.
