Santa Lucia

Teodoro Cottrau

For flute and piano

In E♭ major, range F4 to G5

Evening on the bay of Naples: a star shines silver on the sea, the waves are calm, the wind is fair, and a boatman invites everyone aboard his little boat. Teodoro Cottrau published it in 1849; the piano part is Granville Bantock’s, from One Hundred Folksongs of All Nations (1911).
