The idea of a journey brings to mind recollections of time, places, people that one has met, and situations that one has experienced. A journey arouses emotions and intimately traces distances that one has already covered or that will soon be covered. Memories and experiences of past trips create a distinctive play ruled by fantasy and emotions, which stimulates the beginning of other new and unknown journeys. The composition "Time to Travel" portrays two ideal moments. The first, deeply connected to images, sounds, and experienced situations, is the journey whose shared experiences left a deep and permanent sign, which accompanies the moment of one's life. Here, memory has the leading role. The second is a more intimate and indefinable journey, a solitary ascension towards the unlimited peaks of imagination that projects memories in the future. Angelo Sormani has written and dedicated this work to his friend, the conductor Bruno Bigoni. The featured instruments, fl ute and saxophone, are the ones Bigoni loved, played, and taught; a simple token in memory of the many journeys taken together and a symbolic embrace for the ones to come.
