barcarolle, or barcarole,
originally the name given to songs sung by Venetian boatmen, or barcaruoli, while rowing their gondolas.
However, the meaning has been extended to cover any song reminiscent of the original Venetian barcarolle, which normally had a slow tempo and most often a sad or doleful air.What is the origin of the word barcarolle?
Borrowed from French barcarolle, from Venetian barcaroƚa (“song sung by a boatman”), from barca (“bark, barge, boat”), ultimately from Egyptian bꜣjr (“transport ship; type of fish”).
- Characterised by a rocking rhythm, suggestive of the movement of the gondola, a Barcarolle is usually of moderate tempo scored in compound time (often 6/8, 9/8 or 12/8).
The genre has been used by many composers to great expressive effect.
