£120.40Xenon - Filippo Ledda
Elemento chimico della Tavola Periodica degli Elementi, lo Xenon fa parte del gruppo dei Gas Nobili. incolore, inodore e decisamente pi pesante dell'aria. In un tubo riempito di gas, emette una luce molto intensa quando eccitato con una scarica elettrica, per cui viene utilizzato per la realizzazione di lampade e dispositivi luminosi. Il brano, diviso in sette sezioni che si susseguono senza soluzione di continuit, descrive un viaggio immaginario che percorre diametralmente l'interno di un atomo di xenon. La prima sezione (On the Edge of Nowhere), partendo dal presupposto che l'atomo una struttura al 99,9% vuota, descrive una realt non solo impercepibile dall'occhio umano ma anche non facilmente razionalizzabile, cos la sottile linea che separa il "nulla" dalla materia visibile rappresentata da un assolo di sax contralto. La seconda e la sesta sezione (Electrons) descrivono la nuvola di elettroni che turbina vorticosamente attorno al nucleo dell'atomo. I temi musicali qui si rincorrono e si scontrano; la ritmica delle percussioni, perlopi metalliche, simula questo moto perpetuo. La terza e la quinta sezione (Luminescence) descrivono la zona di quiete tra gli elettroni e il nucleo. Tutto avvolto da una luce bianca, simile a quella del sole; un momento di stasi, ma solo apparente: la calma durer poco. La sezione centrale (Core) il nucleo del brano. La parte pi interna dell'atomo anche la pi densa: percussioni martellanti, riff solidi, armonie sature, vogliono rappresentare la sua natura stabile e dinamica al tempo stesso. Infine, l'ultima sezione (On the Edge of Everything) rappresenta la conclusione del viaggio: l'uscita al di fuori dall'atomo di xenon con la consapevolezza, stavolta, che la materia visibile soltanto la miliardesima parte della realt, tutto il resto energia. L'assolo di sax, che riappare nelle ultime battute del brano, assume ora un diverso significato: cos' "nulla" e cos' "tutto"? La fine di questo viaggio immaginario, veramente una fine? Xenon la terza composizione della serie che l'autore sta dedicando ai Gas Nobili.

L'Amico Fritz - Pietro Mascagni
When you say Mascagni you immediately think of Cavalleria rusticana. This work brought Mascagni overnight fame after his wife - without him knowing - entered the score in a composition contest and it won first prize. Cavalleria rusticana became an incredible success, overshadowing the premiere of his next opera, L'Amico Fritz. L'Amico Fritz can still be considered a successful opera, with its highlights being the 'Cherry Duet' and this intermezzo, arranged by the Japanese Kimura.
