The music for Koparoche is Tarantella Napoletana, or Neapolitan Tarantella, composed by Luigi Ricci (1805–1859). The same music is widely used for the international folkdance called "Neopolitan Tarantella", a partner dance with typically Italian movements. The version used in International (not Israeli) folkdance circles is called Cicerenella and is sung by Israeli singer Geula Gill, accompanied by the Oranim Zabar Folk Dance Orchestra.
