"Antidotum" unfolds within the refined language of today’s chamber music, yet beneath its textures one hears the pulse of an ancient tarantella. Once believed to be an antidote against the venom of the tarantula, the dance carried both frenzy and healing. Here, its echoes are reimagined—woven into modern harmonies, as if the ritual of sound itself could still conjure resilience and release.

ANTIDOTUM per quintetto

"In un gioco di specchi" is a concert band piece awaiting its first performance. Built on small musical cells that repeat and transform endlessly, the work creates a shifting architecture of sound—like reflections that never settle, always refracted into new shapes. It is both playful and elusive: a score that invites performers to explore the tension between recurrence and metamorphosis, between the familiar and the unexpected. The piece is not just written; it is waiting to be discovered in sound.
