Default Funiculì, Funiculà Duet

“Funiculì, Funiculà” was written by Luigi Denza in 1880 to commemorate the opening of the first funicular cable car on Mount Vesuvius, in the Naples, Italy region. A funicular is an inclined railroad used to transport passengers up and down steep inclines. The passenger cars are raised and lowered up and down the incline by a system of cables.

As a kid, my first exposure to the song was a popular version called, “My Tassel Hat”, which is a comedic tale in which the beloved hat get sat upon by a very large woman. I can find no reference to this variation, but later, when Cynthia was growing up, there was a different variation called, “My High Silk Hat” - equally as silly, if not more so.

Yet, the melody lingers and it is a fun piece to play. We hope you enjoy it.
