Sicilienne

Classical musical style

The siciliana [sitʃiˈljaːna] or siciliano (also known as sicilienne [sisiljɛn] or ciciliano) is a musical style or genre often included as a movement within larger pieces of music starting in the Baroque period. It is in a slow 68 or 128 time with lilting rhythms, making it somewhat resemble a slow jig or tarantella, and is usually in a minor key. It was used for arias in Baroque operas, and often appears as a movement in instrumental works. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siciliana
