Customer Reviews of Tarentule-Tarentelle
Wonderful Early Music The birth of the Tarantella musical form proceeds from a rather exotic set of events and the strange repercussions which follow.
Briefly, large populations of the spider 'Lycosa Tarentula', also known more commonly as the Wolf Spider, are found in a region of Southern Italy called Taranto.
The bite of the spider, while not deadly, results in a symptom of rapid heart beat in the afflicted individual. This rapid heart beat, it is said, gives rise to an almost irresistible urge to dance, preferably to a performed music in 6/8 meter.
The music on this CD was composed to accompany such rhythmic dance, to help comfort the afflicted patient, and to provide the desired side effect of sweating the spider's venom from the patients blood stream.
Thus, this is one example of a musical therapy treatment for a period between the 15th and 18th centuries.
In fact, providing that the listener is divorced from the unwelcome scenario described above, this music makes for fine musical therapy, at the end of a typical hectic work day, here in the 21st century.
