Il Cantico dei Cantici

In my childhood I dreamed to write a piece for choir, orchestra and maybe soloists. In 2019 I started writing a small cantata for choir a soloist and an instrument (harp or piano); word after word I completed all eight chapters of the Song of Songs book: it took me 2 years and during this time I decided that a single instrument cannot reproduce all the sounds that I had in my mind, so, after completing the first full writing in 2020, I started to orchestrate it in 2021.

The first performance had place in Parma Cathedral, September 29th, 2022, thanks to the Coro “Città di Parma”, the orchestra Bazzini Consort, Bryony Lang and Raffaele Giordani as soloists, under the conduction of Aram Khacheh. I’m very grateful to all this people.

Ave Maria

This is the first performance of this piece. The same performance my mom listened to one hour later in the very last night of her earthly life. I wrote it to give her my last kiss, my last hug and to say her I love you.

Lots of thanks to the Coro “Città di Parma” for having learned and recorded this piece in a couple of hours: they know we didn’t have so much time.

During the 2019 Guidoneum Festival in Arezzo, the UT Ensemble conducted by Lorenzo Donati did a remarkable performance of this piece:
