Paolo Orlandi: Tutto il mondo danza (equal voices, piano, tambourine)

Paolo Orlandi’s Tutto il mondo danza is a lively and playful work for equal-voice children’s choir, piano and tambourine, setting a text by Elisa Gastaldon. The piece follows the imagination of a child and a dance that gradually opens up to the whole world, with cheerful footsteps, jumps, claps and playful rhythmic gestures.

The music combines catchy rhythms, body percussion and expressive vocal writing, creating an energetic and engaging performance. Its message of joy, movement, peace and togetherness makes it especially appealing for children’s choirs.

Prize-winning piece of the 2021 “Nuove Musiche dalla Livenza” Composition Competition, Tutto il mondo danza is a distinctive contemporary choice for children’s choir programmes.
