Comment | Although Ditson gave this title the usual publicity, Camilieri himself appears not to have promoted it. It received scattered amateur performances over nearly a decade, but otherwise seems to have passed essentially unnoticed. |
Historical Note |
|
Musical Note | Written in an elevated style, this title resembles both an anthem and a march ballad, with expressive markings and rubato. Marked "martial" and in forthright quadruple meter, it makes prominent use of walking bass and pervasive chromaticism, with a modulation to the mediant minor in the refrain. The form is slightly unusual, with the verse extended to eighteen measures and the conventional sixteen-bar refrain created by repeating the poetic text. |
