With his thour voices orchestration and his highly variable percussion part, including all the instruments of the orchestra, the winds and the ropes, this work evokes the three mains characters of the "commedia dell'arte". Arlequin, free and mischievous juggle with musical notes. Colombine, graceful and pretty move on an elegant menuet. Pedrolino, authoritarian and decided sang an operetta march. With his three high colored personages "Arlequinade" will captivate public and young musicians !
