    Description

    This is an exciting adaptation from Leoncavallo’s most famous opera, Pagliacci or, “Clowns.” The energetic melody laid out by the front line and the montuno accompaniment in the back line effectively capture the bitter emotions brooding inside of Pagliaccio as he discovers his wife’s transgressions. This piece works great as a closer and provides a wonderful opportunity to introduce your students and audience to the Bomb tradition. The notes to this piece are not too challenging, though there are a few chromatic runs in the back line, and the scored articulations and dynamics require a certain level of musical nuance. The engine room parts are provided for the scratcher, iron, cowbell, timbales and congas. The tenor bass part to this score is optional.
