Vals d'la Masca; Il racconto della Montagna; Sequenze sotterraneeThe Alpinia Suite was commissioned and composed for the festival <> and is dedicated to my friend and colleague Elio Galvagno. It was performed for the first time on August 30, 2011, in the Church of San Giovanni in Saluzzo, by an ensemble of professional and student guitarists from all over Europe. This piece was written to commemorate the first ascent of mount Monviso, by William Mathews, Frederick Jacomb, Jean Baptiste Croz and Michel Croz, exactly 150 years before, on August 30, 1861.The first movement is a small Waltz. I imagined a Masca (a sort of alpine pixie, a teasing sprite), dancing all around the house and playing tricks, mostly harmless and funny. The Masca is a legendary and very important character in the folklore of my valleys, and all rationally inexplicable events of everyday life are ascribed to her - such as objects that cannot be found anymore, holes in flour sacks, salt in sugar bowls...The next two movements are a homage to the Mountains. The Tale is a sort of journal, a bright and peaceful chronicle of a hike uphill, in which the beauty of the place is highlighted by an easy harmony and a sweet melody. After this, Underground sequences evokes that same world in a darker and nocturnal way; the faster pace and the choice of repeated and varying patterns are meant to show the transformation of the former environment into something more complex and tormented. Here mountains are a metaphor of human life, warts and all: their sundrenched slopes and their green pasture grasslands, but also their icy and dangerous northern sides, which demand calm, training and caution.(G. Signorile).

Tchaikovsky is best known for his purely instrumental compositions. However, we must not underestimate him as a composer of operas. Many of his operas such as ¬Pique Dame and Eugene Onegin are still performed regularly throughout the world. Eugene Onegin (also called Jevgeny Onegin), composed in 1877-1878, was not called an opera by Tchaikovsky himself, but “lyric scenesâ€. The work is entirely dominated by lyricism. However, there are two moments that contrast sharply with this lyricism: two ball scenes, for which Tchaikovsky wrote a waltz and a polonaise.After opening with a less well-known allegro dansant, this arrangement features the aforementioned waltz, which can beconsidered a beautiful Russian equivalent of the Faust Waltz by Charles Gounod. In the opera, this waltz is actually played by a military band. The arrangement concludes with the pompous polonaise (also mentioned above) which opens the last act: the ideal music to characterize high aristocracy in the salon of a palace in St. Petersburg. Rolf Lovland, der Gründe der Popgruppe Secret Garden ist einer der erfolgreichsten Songschreiber in der Welt der Popmusik. Mit der romantischen Melodie von Nocturne überzeugte seine Gruppe nicht nur Millionen Fans, sondern auch die Jury des Grand Prix d’Eurovision im Jahre 1995, die das Lied zum Siegertitel kürte. Mit dem gefühlvollen Arrangement von Ron Segbregts spielen Sie sich in die Herzen Ihres Publikums.

Chopin's Waltzes aroused controversy. They gained their peak in popularity through being treated by many as masterpieces, and held by others to be dangerous for salons. They are included (next to the nocturnes and the impromptus) in his feminine vein of creativity. Volume XI contains 8 of Chpoins Waltzes. There are variations to be found in the written text. The variations marked ossia were marked in this way by Chopin himself or written in his hand into his students copies; variations without this definition are derived from the context of the text in original versions or from inability to gain a singular interpretation of the text. The original titles of the Waltzes given in the music are given according to autographs. In first editions, where describing words, such as grande, brillante, nouvelle are probably freely added by publishers, in the opinions of the editors of WN.
