TERRA D'AMARE
It is a composition inspired by and dedicated to the splendid natural landscapes that characterize the Val di Cembra. The entire work is based on two main thematic ideas, initially varied and developed separately in the three sections of the piece, then joined together in the grand finale.
Description
Commissioned by the “Piccola Primavera” Wind Band of Verla di Giovo on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of its foundation, Terra d’amare is a composition inspired by and dedicated to the splendid natural landscapes that characterize the Val di Cembra, in which Verla is magnificently set.
The first of the three movements of the piece is a slow, austere, majestic, and cadenced March. The composer wanted to describe the strenuous efforts, exemplified by the workers’ perseverance and sacrifices, which has made it possible to shape the land, adapting it to the wine crops that are the main characteristic of that landscape. The second movement is more intimate and contemplative with sweet and harmonious melodic lines chasing each other through its entirety. This section is inspired by the moments of rest after the hard work and the contemplation of the beautiful surrounding landscapes. The third and final movement is in stark contrast to the previous two; it is a rhythmic and engaging Allegro, which represents the union of a community, the sense of sharing and celebration, and the love for one’s land. The entire composition is based on two main thematic ideas, first varied and developed separately within the three sections of the piece, and then reunited in the grandiose finale.
