Composed by Giacomo Puccini. Arranged by Scott S. Stewart. 19th Century,A Cappella,Classical,Instructional,Opera. 4 pages. Scott S. Stewart #847459. Published by Scott S. Stewart (A0.1253829).“Quando me’n vo’”, or Musetta’s Waltz from Puccini’s masterpiece, La Bohème (1896) is probably one of the most recognizable operatic melodies ever written. It is sung by Musetta at the Café Momus, who is hoping to get the attention of her occasional boyfriend Marcello. The tune is masterfully reprised later by the entire cast. This arrangement of the waltz is for 4-part SATB ensemble to be performed a cappella. This pièce de résistance was arranged thus to make ‘Opera’ accessible to wider audiences for various reasons (instructive, educational purposes; and performance familiarity to/for a larger population). The original melody and harmonies are used. It retains the original Italian text, making this arrangement an excellent tool for introducing ‘Opera’ music in the classroom, and programming diversity in the concert hall. Performance time: 1:45+-.
