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).
