Description:
Salina con Carina
Commissioned by the Stadtkapelle Liezen, chairman Michael Fröhlich, conductor David Luidold. World premiere on December 2, 2023 / Stift Rein.
The suite - consisting of four parts - takes the listener to Salina and is intended to musically express the beauty of the island as well as the joy of life of the population. In keeping with the commission, three Italian folk songs were quoted.
1 Moonset and sunrise: A sea drum imitates waves crashing on the beach, the moon ends its night duty and the sun gets ready for its working day. A sunrise straight out of a picture book.
2. Salina awakens: Slowly, the hectic hustle and bustle of the inhabitants becomes noticeable, the daily routine begins, work calls - but the islanders enjoy life and always have a catchy tune: Funiculi, Funicula.
3. Chilling in the hammock: There's not much to tell here. Just relax to a variation of the folk song Santa Lucia and take a nap.
4. Arguing in Italian: Who hasn't seen them, the scenes from Italian movies where there is spirited gesticulation and discussion. In this part, one of these scenes is set to music, accompanied by the repeated refrain of the folk song Ciuri, Ciuri. But even the most beautiful quarrel must have a conciliatory end, the day is drawing to a close. The last rays of sunshine find their way into the satisfied faces of the islanders. At this point, a short motif from the Alpine Symphony by Richard Strauss, who undertook a recuperation trip in 1892/93 after a serious illness caused by a protracted bout of bronchitis and also got to know Sicily, sounds fitting.
I want interpretations of this composition to convey one thing above all, namely a great deal of joie de vivre. Both for the ear and for the eye. Chilling in a hammock with convincing snoring, or even a scenic representation of a spirited, "Italian" discussion are not mandatory, but certainly desirable. The music itself writes the script. The audience will thank you for it. Have fun!
