Fúnicúlí, Fúnicúla

Jig · 6/8 · G major

Funiculi, Funicula is a famous Italian song composed by Luigi Denza with lyrics by Peppino Turco, though it is sometimes treated as a traditional piece due to its widespread popularity. Written in 1880 to celebrate the opening of the first funicular railway on Mount Vesuvius, the melody has a lively and exuberant character. While historically classified as a Neapolitan song rather than a traditional jig, this version is set in G major with a brisk 6/8 meter that drives its cheerful rhythm.
