By Stefania Esposito!Slide27

Traditional Italian music!The music of Italy ranges across a broad spectrum of opera and instrumental classical music and a body of popular music drawn from both native and imported sources. Music has traditionally been one of the cultural markers of Italian national and ethnic identity and holds an important position in society and in politics.Traditional Italian music is mainly; Opera Folk &

Classical

Italy today is still known for there traditional music, but throughout the years it has started to fade away changing its opera into pop, its folk into R&B and its classical into rap, but there will always be the traditional Italian music!Slide28

Traditional Instruments!Italy has a lot of instruments when I say a lot, I mean a lot! Its spreads from tambourines to accordions, From violins to mandolins ,from organs to reed-pipes ,I could go on forever (but I wont).The two main instruments are the Accordion and the Reed-Pipe.

Reed -Pipe

Accordion

The 

REED-PIPE

widespread

in

Calabria (that's where I'm from!)

The reed-pipe’s

sound is given from the particular reeds and from a sack

that

gives back an air supply. In Calabria the reed-pipes have

four/five

rods, the sack is made with sheep or goat’s skin whose size is proportional to the reels.

For many years the 

ACCORDION

 was an instrument in the popular and folk-dance Italian tradition. It was born in Italy,

Its

use is massive in the folk and popular tradition, with the Neapolitan

music,

and the pinch

in

Puglia, who recently had a big comeback.Slide29

Traditional Dance!Italian Folk Dance has been an integral part of Italian culture for centuries. Dance has been a continuous thread in Italian life from dance through the renaissance, the advent of the tarantella , and the modern revivals of folk music and dance.In Italian culture, the word “tarantella” evokes images of a frenzied spinning dance traditionally played at weddings. However, this popular native dance of Southern Italy has a history and myth spanning several centuries. The

dance, originally an Italian folk dance of the lower- and middle-classes, has been labeled as a dance to cure sickness and as a dance of courtship

.

It is considered unlucky to dance the Tarantella alone so it is often danced by couples or by two women.

Here are some traditional Italian dancersSlide30
