Day 252: Ancient Airs and Dances “Siciliana”

Respighi – Ancient Airs and Dances Suite No. 3 “Siciliana” by Respighi (1879-1936)

Ancient Airs and Dances (Italian: Antiche arie e danze) is a set of three orchestral suites by Italian composer Ottorino Respighi, freely transcribed from original pieces for lute. In addition to being a renowned composer and conductor, Respighi was also a notable musicologist. His interest in Italian music of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries led him to compose works inspired by the music of these periods.
