Barcarolle is one of those musical words that tells you what you’ll hear before a note sounds. The name comes from the Italian word barca – boat – and its musical pattern is simple: a gentle 6/8 or 12/8 pulse that rocks like oars in water.
In Venice, they call it barcarola, a type of boat song popular among gondoliers, but in concert halls and opera houses, it became shorthand for night air, ripples, and voices that move without a hurry.
