Aria Sopra la Bergamasca for flute ensemble

Medieval variations on a ground on the popular old song: “La Bergamasca”, this is an early Baroque gem. Uccellini (1603-1680) composed it to describe the beauty of the Italian City Bergamo.

Quintessenz has performed this vivid arrangement in combination with other “Bergamasca” works by Bach, Scheidt and Debussy. It matches programs of all seasons, possibly as a lively encore.
