TRIPTYCHUM
Description
The composition highlights some of the artistic, social, and cultural peculiarities of Val Rendena in Trentino-Alto Adige and is structured into three movements:
- “Taròn”: The ancient jargon of the valley's knife grinders and butchers.
- “Maitinada”: A typical morning serenade.
- “Danze Macabre”: Inspired by 16th-century frescoes (works by S. Baschenis) found in the churches of San Vigilio in Pinzolo and Santo Stefano in Carisolo.
All three movements are unified by a single theme and a recurring motif that evolves and transforms, adopting varied forms and colors.
Compositional techniques such as counterpoint, polyrhythm, and polytonality have been employed to create contrasts between the movements and to fully exploit the simple thematic material that drives the entire piece.
The instrumentation’s tonal palette has been carefully utilized to craft instrumental blends that maintain the listener’s engagement throughout the performance.
