Work introduction
Canti d'intorno. Work for a multi-instrumentalist equipped with live electronics (via pedal) and orchestra. The score was written for the multi-instrumentalist Giuseppe Dal Bianco who is the dedicatee, too. The work, which requires some instruments from many parts of the world, is a fresco of sounds and images from different cultures and traditions: awakening, caresses of the wind, spring light, dance of colours, fall, song of sadness, intimate prayer and reflections. The path traced by these episodes symbolically tells the life through unusual and fascinating sounds.
Orchestra: 2 Flutes (2nd doubling Piccolo), 2 Oboes (2nd doubling English Horn), 2 Clarinets in Bb, 2 Bassoons, 4 Horns in F, 2 Trumpets in C, 2 Trombones, Percussion (3 players), Harp , Strings and Soloist (with Shofar, Fujara, Koncovka, Reed Flute, Didgeridoo, Duduk, Khene and Steel Fujara ad libitum).
