"Animo Mercenario" is a composition for band that intertwines moments of glory, festivity, melancholy, and resolution, telling the story of a group of mercenaries weary of war. The rhapsody opens with a solemn march, evoking the pride and strength of those who have lived by fighting for gold. Yet, after many battles, the mercenaries, now rich, seek to escape the violence, finding solace in pleasure and celebration, symbolized by a lively samba. However, their relief is short-lived: a melancholic adagio represents the inner torment and sadness that grips them. Peace seems elusive, and the memories of war never truly fade.

The composition culminates in a grand final march, where the mercenaries decide to return to the life they know best: the battlefield.

The work draws heavily on evangelical and ecclesiastical sonorities, with harmonic progressions and choral-like structures that evoke the sacred atmosphere of church music. These moments are juxtaposed against the military rhythms and tropical motifs, creating a striking contrast between the sacred and the secular. The solemnity of the church-inspired sections, with their sense of reverence and introspection, serves as a reminder of the spiritual longing for peace and redemption. In contrast, the lively samba rhythms and martial tempos reflect the physical and worldly nature of the mercenaries' journey. This dynamic tension between the divine and the earthly underpins the entire piece, offering the listener a deep reflection on the conflict between the mercenaries’ desire for peace and the inexorable pull of war.

Sanbabila

A very Christmas-feel for flute basson and piano. A particularly mellow melody with east influency and catchy hooks. A Christmastime already passed away before it even comes

Natale Particolare A Praga

Preaching people
A little St.Mark, a little Marco Polo, Alexandria looking a bit like Venice, two Bellinis (painters) are better than a Bellini
(composer)
That’s the cue for a short piece for band, from the visual and static suggestions of the painting, to a dynamic and
musical hint of same.

Titolo Esecutivo E Sua Risoluzione

This track is synthesizing the impressions of a modern Middle Ages, based on an octachord scale, constantly teasing with tone changing.
The listener is made used with the setting through a hanging melody, and the introduction of the octachord scale. The first anxious theme is proposed by the baritone side of the band, to which are opposing the firm chords of the woods.
The second theme develops by elaborating the introduction, adopting the various tone chords like a sort of a two-voice game, typical of Middle Ages music.
The song continues with a second proposal of the first theme, but with a different cadency, creating a bigger anxiety effect; which brings to a most meditative visitation of the second theme, by playing on the different features of brasses and woods.
The track ends with the introduction of the octachord scale, which fades to high, leaving a taste of hope and good waiting.

A Big Dark Hand

A careless summer in the heat of the youth, an easy track as simple as summer in our prime; an easy syncopated melody a harmonic eighties progression and suddenly love, a skittish love between pairs lasting less than one thought, and finishing in a bow; a moment of reflection on what happened and then it's summer again.

Summer spot

A song party, from folklore to the latest fashion, a fresh, young and easy song.
The melody reminds us of the typical ballads that fashion continually urges, a representation of when the
old wants to change clothes to return himself.
The easy instrumentation make it a nice song without falling
into boredom. The short duration of the piece makes it an ideal piece as an break for those looking for an
original and fresh piece.
The title collects all the sensation of a piece to play now, now the time has come for a folk melody.
Una festa di brano .... dal folclore all’ultima moda un brano fresco, giovane e facile.
La melodia ci ricorda le tipiche ballate che la moda incalza continuamente, rappresentazione di quando il
vecchio vuole cambiare vestito per ritornare se stesso. La strumentazione facile lo rendono un brano
simpatico senza cadere nella noia. La durata breve del pezzo lo rende un pezzo ideale come intermezzo per
chi è alla ricerca di un brano originale e fresco.
come ci richiama il titolo "Ora è il tempo di una melodia folcloristica".
