Product Description
DUE CANTI, for 25 flutes, draws inspiration mainly from
Dante Aligheri´s well-known narrative poem "La Divina Comedia". The
piece consists of two contrasting movements:
"Inferno" and "Paradiso".
I´ve tried to paint with sounds some of the vivid images
that appear in the work. "Inferno", a world of chaos and despair, is a vibrant
cacophony consisting of an insistent, mechanical ostinato, dissonant
counterpoints and frullato cries in the upper registers of all flutes.
"Paradiso", a place of order and sensual delight, features
shiny open fifths in the medium-high register, a theme in long notes which is
symmetrical in design (as to represent God-like perfection and balance), as
well as long, lyrical solos for the first flute and the bass flute.
A secondary source of inspiration for the piece was the
painting "The Garden of Earthly Delights" by the great Hieronymus
Bosch.
