about

What is time? Why does time change the way we would like things to go? Do we lose things in time, or do they stay within us?

Inno al Tempo/ Miserere is a very personal hymn to time. This little creature that in the lyrics is depicted as a character and that makes things go in certain directions and sometimes it goes terribly wrong.

The Flute Melody of the Introduction recalls the Sopranus Melody of the Miserere by Carlo Gesualdo (penitence psalm 51).
Gesualdo’s Miserere is a madrigal for six voices filled with chromaticism based on a one-page composition, then repeated and slightly mutated for 7 minutes. The melody has a historical density that captures the essence of the psalm. In the piece, it is hearable in the Introduction and reappears fragmented and manipulated as the piece progresses.
The lyrics are replaced by a personal text dedicated to someone who was and who hopefully will continue to be, but in another form:

lyrics

Ride, il tempo ride
senza fretta di morire
Ride,
per amare ciò
che accade quando scorre e
vuole osservare
per capire se va male da morire

Il tempo ci accompagnerà
alla soglia della verità
- ci abbandonerà

Ride,
il tempo ride
