Quadrants des rêves

With Quadrants des rêves (Dream Quadrants), Franco Cesarini invites you to take an extraordinary journey into the world of dreams — a universe of sound born from his deepest imagination. The work leads the listener through four dream dimensions: light, the primordial game, lost nature and the primordial ritual. The soul itself, hovering between wakefulness and sleep, guides this visionary path full of thresholds, incantations and transformations, up to an apotheosis in which everything dissolves and reveals. The six movements - Aubade, The Awakening of the Game, Pastorale, Dance of the Quadrants, Play of Light and Apotheosis of the Dream - form a large symphonic fresco of extraordinary expressiveness. Each section represents a transition, a transformation, an intense and suggestive sonic experience that allows the orchestra to explore timbres, contrasting dynamics and interpretive depth at the highest level. Quadrants des rêves is much more than a composition: it is an artistic opportunity. A work that highlights the wind band, promotes musical maturity and offers the audience an immersive and powerful experience. The apotheosis, with its almost Dionysian energy, represents a moment of great emotional and scenic impact, in which every sonic element is transformed into an irresistible collective ritual. In 2026, Quadrants des rêves was the compulsory piece of the highest class at the Federal Music Festival (EMF) 2026 in Biel/Bienne (Switzerland).
