Mattina
presto (Early Morning)/
Shirok/ Sweet
Argentina
The
guitar's repertory is now
widely varied and
includes works that
cover, in historical
periods, all technical
and interpretative
aspects, from the single
instrument to the guitar
orchestra, passing to the
duo, the quartet and the
ensemble.
What I
thought to be important
was a work that would
include a comparison
between the instruments,
a dialog in which music
flows between the
instruments in a
harmonized way, with
moments of hard work and
others of listening,
almost to underline the
friendship and the
collaboration between the
players... it is in that
way that these songs of
middle difficulty are
developed, where the
components of the
orchestra not only have
their part to play, they
must also pay attention
to the solo guitar
playing the theme in
counterpoint to
themselves.
The three
compositions presented
are of different
inspiration: Mattina
Presto is the
awakening of the day,
clear, as a spring
morning. It's the easiest
song, with it's simple
melody that flits among
the voices in the group;
Scirok (Scirocco
in Albanese) contains a
theme inspired by
balcanic music,
signifying the interest
of entering other
populations to better
understand their culture,
as in Sweet
Argentina, that
begins with a tanguero
rhythm, passing then to a
slower and more delicate
melody and by the end
returning to the original
popular danced rhythm.
Three pieces in which
I hope the game will not
only help those who play
to grow musically, but
will also spark a culture
interest, music born by
the love for the
instrument and the world
that surrounds me.
(G.
Signorile).
