Description
Old Medieval Town was commissioned by the “Corpo Musicale San Michele Arcangelo” of Mapello (Bergamo) to celebrate its 175th year of foundation.
Mapello, a small town at the feet of Mount Canto, is characterized by the presence of several towers of medieval origin.
The composition is written in Dorian mode.
In the Middle Ages a traveler arrives in Mapello walking on the footpaths of Mount Canto (bars 1-7) and sees the walls of the town (8-14); his attention immediately shifts to the imposing towers (14-38).
Upon entering the city, he is struck by the industriousness and liveliness of the people (“A tempo di Danza,” 38-77).
Once out of the town, he finds himself on a long tree-lined avenue (78-102), which takes him to the sanctuary of the Madonna di Prada (“Madonna dei prati,” 103-120).
The composition continues by resuming, alternating, and superimposing the themes of the towers and of the city life up to the concluding Coda.
