Russian composer Igor Stravinsky was commissioned to compose two different ballets for the Ballets Russes that were inspired by variations of this character. Stravinsky's ballets were entitled Petrushka (1911), based on Russian 19th-century puppetry traditions celebrated at Shrovetide, and Pulcinella (1920), based on 17th-century Italian music (thought to be by Pergolesi) associated with a commedia dell'arte version.

Guest, Suzanne, http://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=49743, "Play-party game 'Punchinello', January 21, 2011 Pancocojams Editor's Note: I'm added this version because it is undoubtedly a folk processed form of the rhyme "Punchinella."]Kasperletheatre Puppets, Germany". ObjectLessons.org. Islington Education Library Service . Retrieved December 9, 2016. The Istituto delle Guarattelle in Naples, under the direction of Bruno Leone, has revived the puppet with a regular theatrical season as well as a museum with a permanent exhibition, Pulcinella burattino del mondo. In Rome, in addition to Carlo Piantadosi at the Janiculum, the San Carlino theatre, founded in Turin in 1979 and taking up the name of the famous Neapolitan theatre, presents a repertoire of about thirty plays in its permanent theatre established in 2004 in the Pincio at the Villa Borghese. Elsewhere, other companies participate in safeguarding the tradition: for example, Arrivano Dal Mare!, under the direction of Luca Ronga of Bologna, who directed a notable and very well-received production of Pulcinella e l’organetto (Pulcinella and the Barrel Organ) in 2003. A Baltimore version of this American singing game was collected from 20th century Baltimore, MD. Baltimore has its own Little Italy. The Baltimore version of the game was called "Punch and Netta." (One could speculate that meant it could have derived from American Baltimore children misunderstanding another version of the name, "Pulcinella," as "Punch 'n Nella.")" then the person in the middle would do something like jump up and down then all the other kids would jump up and down too singing)

For what it's worth, I remember playing "Punchinella" -with an "a" ending - during the early to mid 1950 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. (given as Example #2 below). Also, I didn't associate "Punchinella" with a clown. The handbook doesn't mention how they decided to include it... Girl Scouts use all SORTS of oral tradition for their songs & games. I moved every few years growing up, learning new songs & teaching new-to-them songs wherever I ended up. But this really is my fave for early elementary -- they'll play FOREVER! (in 6-9 year-old time :D) Pulcinella embodies the Neapolitan plebians, the simplest man who occupies the bottom place on the social scale, the man who, although aware of his problems, always manages to come out of them with a smile. On that basis, many writers have come to refer to Pulcinella, in retrospect, as a model ENFP of sorts (based on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator 16 personality test). [ citation needed] A version of "Punchinello" that includes the number "42" is given below as Example #4. I have no idea why that number was/is used. Voices Solo soprano Solo tenor Solo bass Woodwinds 2 flutes (2nd doubling piccolo) 2 oboes 2 bassoons Brass 2 horns in F 1 trumpet in C 1 trombone

About Me

The ballet was revived and revised by New York City Ballet's balletmasters George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins for their 1972 Stravinsky Festival. They both danced in the performance, Robbins in the title role, and were joined in the premier by Francisco Moncion, who danced the role of The Devil. [5] Story [ edit ]

Punch and Judy is a traditional, popular puppet show featuring Mr. Punch and his wife, Judy. The performance consists of a sequence of short scenes, each depicting an interaction between two characters, most typically the violent Punch and one other character... Until now, I had thought that the game was liklely native to Bermuda, and other islands, given what was thought to be a reference to the Royal Poinciana tree, of which there used to be a preponderance. Since at least the late 1940s or early 1950s, at least in some areas, few children playing Punchinello/Punchinella singing games with a clown. Yet, the idea of "Punchinello" being a funny person who is tasked with making others laugh is somewhat retained in the singing game as the center person is supposed to perform some [usually] funny motion that everyone else copies. In the school i worked at previously, i was surprised to see the children playing this game on the yard, with the same lyrics

Mo the caller, http://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=49743, "Play-party game 'Punchinello'", October 13, 2010 The music is based on pieces then believed to have been by the Italian composer Giovanni Battista Pergolesi. The following is a description of the musical forces and movements. During the 19th century up to the early to mid 20th century in the United States, singing games/play party songs were performed by people up to their young adult years. Now there are many more socially approved opportunities for teens and young adults to declare their romantic interest in someone. Pulcinella is the ultimate self-preservationist, looking out for himself in most every situation, yet he still manages to sort out the affairs of everyone around him. Antonio Fava, a world-renowned maskmaker and Maestro of Commedia dell'arte, is particularly fond of the character in both performance and study due to Pulcinella's influence and continuity throughout history. Fava explains that "Pulcinella, a man without dignity, is nevertheless indispensable to us all: without [him] ... none of his countless 'bosses' could ever escape from the awkward tangle of troubles in which they find themselves. Pulcinella is everyone's saviour, saved by no one." [13] This accidental helpfulness is key to his success. He goes out of his way to avoid responsibility, yet always ends up with more of it than he bargained for. pulcinella translation from Collins Unabridged Italian-English dictionary". www.collinsdictionary.com .
