Venetian Boat Song is one of thirty or so "Songs Without Words" written
by Felix Mendelssohn in the nineteenth century for the domestic piano market
in Britain and Germany. This particular song (Opus 19 Number 6) is a
Barcarolle, whose rhythm captures the feel of being in a gondola in the
waterways of Venice. This arrangement features flugel and solo
horn in duet. 2 minutes
