Armonico Tributo: Sonata No. 5 in G major: Passacaglia [Music Download]

The musical term ‘passacaglia’ derives from the Spanish word ‘pasacalle’, which translates to ‘street song’ or ‘step in the street’. The Spanish pasacalle is a compound of the verb pasar ‘to pass, to walk’ and the noun ‘calle’ which means ‘street’, reflecting the dance’s origin as a street performance. Latin callis: The origin of calle, meaning “path”. The word’s Italian ending was likely added later, giving it an Italian guise. #classicalmusicians #composers #anamariafusukommiditeaches #classic
