Music by Gianluca Barragato

Piano: Valentina Messa

The piece is in the form of piano "Toccata", structurally divided into two equal parts in length.

The inspiration for the creation of this piece comes from the free dance in the streets of Sao Paulo do Brazil, I saw during the Carnival. The piece is not descriptive, from the dance it gets the artistic idea, translated into musical elements.
It flows and changes continuously. Opposite elements appear to be inferred one from one another, in a continuous, never repetitive flow, like dancers movements.

A tribute to dance, to dynamism, and therefore a tribute to life, expressed by intense rhythm, melodic, and timbrical contrasts.

Hello everybody,

Here is some information about the piece:

The inspiration for the creation of this piece comes from the free dance in the streets of Sao Paulo do Brazil, I saw during the Carnival. The piece is not descriptive, from the dance it gets the artistic idea, translated into musical elements.
The flows and change continuously. Opposite elements appear to be inferred one from one another, in a continuous, never repetitive flow, like dancer movements. A tribute to dance, to dynamism, and therefore a tribute to life, expressed by intense rhythm, melodic, and timbrical contrasts.
The piece is in the form of piano "Toccata", structurally divided into two equal parts in length.
The strong dynamic and rhythmic aspect, emerges immediately, at the beginning.
Then gradually, melodic elements bring to a sort of cantabile part (from 0:43 to up to 1.20).
From 1:24 to 2:15 there is a more introspective moment, which insists on the lower timbre of the piano. Gradually, rhythmical dynamism and dynamic strength return to the foreground.
In 2:52 there is a kind of delicate parenthesis, which instead insists on the highest registry of the instrument.
From 4:18 starts the second part. It is characterized by greater freedom but is joined to the first one by harmonic, rhythmic and melodic elements. Great variety again: opposed elements, derive one from one another, in a continuous flow, as a logical consequence.
The beginning of the second part is lively and cheerful, then it brings to a lyrical, sentimental moment (5:36). Finally, the quick and intense movement, the unbridled dance predominate, in a crescendo of energy, to a sudden exhaustion.


All the best to you!

The piece deals with madness, often the subject of music. As an example, think about the famous theme of “follia”, used, arranged and varied by many composers.
This piece is inspired by madness, highlighting some aspects, not least the creative one: there is no art without madness.
The piece is built in a tripartite form: A-B-A '.
In the first section, A, it initially bases on the obstinate C-G-D-Ab. In fact, obstinacy is often a characteristic of madness.
This section presents playful and childish characters, fragmented by more intense and contrasting moments (for example in bars 7-8 and 14), that will be developed in the following part of the piece.
The rhythmic and harmonic elements presented will then explode in the central section, B.
In this section, violent and almost angry, but also vital aspects emerge. The initial obstinate, which acts as a unifying element, appear again, for example, in the right hand, although rhythmically much quicker.
Part A' incorporates some elements of A', however, but in a different setting, as if the second section caused somehow a transformation. The airy and playful elements of section A, in fact, completely leaves the place to a more hypnotic and hallucinated, almost hopeless scenario. Madness.


Piano: Valentina Messa

The piece is included in "Travel Notes" album:

Zefiri – Flute and Clarinet in Bb
Recording: Alessio Alberghini (flute) and Alessandro Restivo (Clarinet in Bb)

Zefiro is the west wind of spring. I wrote the piece during Spring. In my view, the two instruments, musical winds, bring a positive message.
The piece is in 3 Movements. The germinating idea is in the final section of the third movement, then I developed the music backward, working on the rhythmic cells of the original idea.
It mainly focuses on rhythm, but containing many melodic moments as well. I love the sound of both the instruments and I tried to create some beauty balancing the dialog between the two.

Hi!
With much pleasure, I introduce my new album: TRAVEL NOTES

This album is a collection of instrumental pieces inspired by traveling and by the idea of travel. Travel as a movement, change of references, point of views and evolution of ideas and emotions.
Some titles refer explicitly to geographical locations. Others, however, speak about inner places of the soul.
By listening to the album from the beginning to the end, is a journey, between timbres, harmonies, and rhythms gradually changing, bringing, in my intention, in a subtle and pleasant way, to experience different musical points of view. The disc, in fact, like the vessel on the cover, wants to bring listeners from one style to another, from jazz, to folk, to song, and finally to a contemporary classical sound.
Life is a journey, and this collection of music represents the Travel Notes of mine.

Please let me know your comments, the music is for you.

All the best
Gianluca
