Notes From John
A tarantella in 6/8 at BPM = 113. After two bars of rest, the left hand takes the beat and the right hand answers with offbeat chords. The key rises from G to A flat.
For the player
Lou Monte’s 1960 single, an Italian Christmas novelty. It’s oom-pah: left hand on the beat, right hand off it. Keep the chords short so the bounce stays light, and carry it up through the key change. Ride the downbeat. At BPM = 113 the job is the feel.
Keyboard Sheet Music for “Dominick The Donkey” by Lou Monte.
