This piece for SSAATTBB is inspired to the wonderful poem by Emily
  Dickinson.
    
    
    
    I have chosen the first stanza, that contains - in my opinion - all the
  "desperate hope" of the poetress, a feeling very close to the one I
  often feel.
    
    
    
    You will find a language full of dissonances, hard and sweet at the same
  time, with several climax, until a peaceful ending.

Will there really be a morning?

SATB Octavo

I have composed this song for choir, piano and flute for my brother's wedding.
The music tries to tell a great feeling, like that which leads two people to get married and promise eternal love. Trying to do it is speechless.

Echi del Nord

This is my musical setting of Psalm 71 for mixed choir, children's choir, and organ or brass ensemble. I aimed to convey joy, solemnity, and force through this piece, inspired by the powerful text of the Psalm.

Reges Tharsis (version with brass ensemble)

Octavo

The song speaks about the complicated relationship between man and God and tries to show how is easy to lose yourself in the meanders of spirituality. Recrimination towards a God who does not speak, nostalgia for a lost spring, invocation of beauty: Deep Blue is all this."

Deep Blue

"Florebit quasi lilium" was born as an invocation.
Isaiah 35 speaks of a time when the desert blooms, the weak rise again, and a voice finally says:
"Dicite pusillanimis: confortamini, nolite timere. Deus ipse veniet et salvabit vos."
For those who believe, it is a declaration of faith.
For those who search, it is the burning hope that such a promise might be true.
A soul, suspended between silence and hope, begins to sing.

Florebit quasi lilium

The feast of Christmas brings with it feelings of intimate joy, which
  travels from the comet star to the grotto of the Child Jesus, to arrive in
  our hearts, where love is finally ignited.

Ecco, viene Natale

My piece "A riveder le stelle" has been commisionated by the Maestro Gianfranco Cambareri for the Coro Giovanile Calabrese, for the 700 years since the death of Dante Alighieri.

The song has been premiered in the wonderful Cathedral of Cosenza (Italy) on September 5, 2021.

With this piece I tried to express my feelings of hope thinking about the end of all the bad moments of our Life, including the one that we all are living for over a year.

I wish you, with the Dante's words, to see the stars again!

A riveder le stelle

This piece is deeply personal to me.
My life, like everyone’s, has its challenges—one of the greatest being raising a non-verbal autistic son. There are days when the weight of it all feels overwhelming, but it is exactly in those moments that I find hope to be as Emily Dickinson described: something fragile and light, yet unwavering, even in the fiercest storms.
 
That particular line, "in the gale is heard," was truly at the heart of my composition. It speaks to how hope can sing, even when everything around us feels chaotic and harsh.
 
I often struggle to express my emotions through words, but music has always been my way to translate what I feel. With this piece, I wanted to capture that delicate balance between vulnerability and resilience.

"Hope" is the thing with feathers

SAB Octavo

Some time ago I composed five pieces for a competetion organized by Eric Whitacre and Spitfire Audio.

I had in my hands the amazing images provided by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration through the Hubble Telescope.

This is the final result: a piece that I called FIVE SHORT SPACIAL MOVEMENTS, for choir and strings.

Give me your hand, I will take take you among the stars, until the deep space ... Enjoy!

Five short spacial movements

SATB Vocal Score

Have you ever heard about Nekomata? It is a yokai, a supernatural being of Japanese culture. It looks like a two-tailed cat and, according to legend, it has the power to control the spirits of the dead and everything that is related to darkness. It is not evil, but it demands a lot of attention, food, and respect. I've imagined a kind of journey with Nekomata through the Kingdom of Dreams (intended both as oniric moments and unspeakable desires) and composed a piece full of anxiety and restlessness, using a non-sense language.

Violet dreams - Nekomata

In "Winter Stars" Sara Teasdale speaks on themes of change,
  aging, and the universe. Through very poetic and lyrical language and
  diction, she describes the nature of time, its inescapability, and the
  sorrows it can bring. By the end of the poem though, rather than depressive,
  the mood is contemplative and peaceful. My music wants to be a way to express
  all these feelings.

Winter Stars

The poem "At Midnight" by Sara Teasdale shows the true meaning
  of Life: nothing is is ever ended and nothing 
  is really won.
    
    
    
    My piece try to express these feelings with disenchanted joy and a little
  melancholy.

At Midnight

As if the Sea should part
    
    And show a further Sea a
    
    And that a a further a and the Three
    
    But a Presumption be a
    
    Of Periods of Seas
    
    Unvisited of Shores
    
    Themselves the Verge of Seas to be
    
    Eternity is Those
    
    
    
    These wonderful words has taken me in to the eternity of the waters of the
  seas and into a world of sweetness and melancholy.

Eternity

This is my second musical setting of Psalm 130, a text I find profoundly inspiring. In this composition, I aimed to highlight the hope of a soul that senses the mystery beyond life and longs to one day enter it.

De profundis

The Redemption is the end of a dialogue that takes place in the De profundis with God; a God who represents that merciful force to which believers entrust themselves but which all of us can find within ourselves, even those who do not believe. Redemption is an individual path, it is a path of growth.

When pain and fatigue seem to take over, we must remember that the force of hope is a powerful light, able to overcome all the darkness of our lives: we are all one beating heart!

Lights of hope

TTBB Octavo

Carpe diem ...I have been deeply inspired by the beautiful lyrics of Quintus Horatius Flaccus. I loved the melanchonic consciounsness of the poet that called my soul with the words of the Carmen I,1.I encourage you to read the whole text and think carefully to our human condition: we are weak and strong at the same time, we can fall so easily, we can lose all we have in a moment. So we must live and love every moment of our life, because we can manage only our present.And here is my A LEUCONOE, a romantic and softly sad music, the product of my personal elaboration of this immortal masterpiece of latin literature.

A Leuconoe

This piece was selected through a Call for Scores in preparation for this concert, an initiative organized by the National Association of Italian Choir Directors (ANDCI).

Inspired by the biblical text from Isaiah 9:6, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given," this piece reflects my longing for salvation and help from above and beyond. 

"Puer natus est nobis" is a lullaby dedicated to a newborn child. It alternates moments of tenderness and intimacy with passages of grandeur and intensity, returning to the quiet peace with which it begins.

Puer natus est nobis

A child, the mild wind, a bud ... small things that bring into themselves
  the force of the divine. This song speaks about our hidden destiny, a destiny
  of eternal life and beauty.

Divino

This composition interprets Emily Dickinson's poem with a focus on the sense of anticipation for what is to come, reflecting both joy and potential sorrow. While the piece initially presents a seemingly joyful tone, it intensifies with deep, poignant moments, capturing the complex emotions of waiting for both the return of happiness and the possibility of renewed pain.
