Description:
The theme of SCEGGS' 130th Birthday year was Hope, and the title, Speranza, is the Italian word for Hope. Loreta Fin took inspiration for this composition from her Italian father, Giuseppe and his sister, Maria, who travelled to Australia by boat after World War 2, in the hope of building a better life for themselves and their families. Migrants made a huge contribution to Australia, bringing with them their food and culture, which enriched this young country.The music can be performed with A parts only, or with added simple B parts, designed for less experienced players. Violin and Cello obligato part have also been included, to challenge more advanced students, using higher positions. The work is very well suited to joining ensembles of different levels together for a concert. The music builds to a climax, expressing a sense of optimism for the future. Dynamics are vital in this beautiful work. There is also a useful piano part, which enhances the harmony. Sincere appreciation goes to my dear friend, Anne Sweeney, the wonderful and dedicated Director of Strings at SCEGGS.
