Liedsatz, Trio und Fuge in F "Vien sulla Barchetta"

Here is another song from the music booklet I bought during my holiday in Avignon. This music book is a precious treasure chest, it is already the third song I have arranged from this source.
I put a lot of effort into this work, it comes from the Romansh-speaking part of Switzerland and I dedicate this composition to my "organ friend" Alberto!
"Vien sulla barchetta" or in French "Viens sur la petite Baroque": a cheerful song in lively 6/8 time. The "swinging" is achieved by a consistent emphasis on the last 2 eighth notes of each group of 3 eighth notes. The first eighth note is struck 75% of the time, the last 2 then with 50%, or in some places even with only 25%. This results in the characteristic sound pattern of the settings of my compositions. now I have revealed my "secret" ......
Joking aside. The piece is in three parts, first the song is presented by me set to 4 voices (A). Then follows a trio (B), in which the melody is framed by 2 counter voices. After the trio comes the song movement again (A), followed by the rather short fugue (C), in which the melody is treated in various ways (see development in the sonata). It ends with the full organ, which is also heard in the concluding song movement (A).
I hope that you like this work as much as I do, but especially that Alberto, to whom I dedicated this composition, likes it.
In the song movement, I have now paid a little more attention to the fact that the right hand can play the two upper voices to some extent; this worked for me, but the left hand could only play the bass line, but even without the tenor, the movement does not sound bad. Of course, I can't leave it like that, so again I reach for MIDI.
