The piece was composed in 2012 as musical comment on a succession of images and, according to the composer’s statements, to get young people close to a guided listening of music. The captions in the score stimulate the research of pictures or videos that correspond with the description, developing at the same time an attentive listening in young people, first addressees of the work. The educational aim places this track next to the most remarkable cornerstones of musical literature intended for a young audience.
At the beginning the composition was conceived for a quartet: two mandolins, mandola/mandoloncello, and guitar, because the composer wanted young people to approach to plectrum instruments. At the end of 2019 the refined orchestra version saw the light and now the one for plectrum orchestra as well.
A composition to study, perform and listen in all its versions.
(Gaetano Panariello).
