Siciliana
The siciliana or siciliano is a
musical form often included as a movement within larger pieces of music starting in the
Baroque period. It is in a slow 6/8 or 12/8
time with lilting rhythms making it somewhat resemble a slow
jig, and is usually in a
minor key. It was used for
arias in Baroque
operas, and often appeared as a movement in instrumental works. The siciliano evokes a pastoral mood, and is often characterized by a large number of dotted rhythms.
