Dieses vierteilige Opus ist keine avantgardistische Musik, sondern fur den Normalhorer gedacht, obwohl darin verschiedene moderne Kompositionstechniken verwendet werden. Die vier Satze des Werkes sind Impressionen uber Gedichte des grossen italienischen Lyrikers G. Ungaretti, der 1970 82jahrig starb. Giorno per giorno (Tag fur Tag) ist der Titel des Zyklus auf den Tod eines seiner Kinder - in der Musik fur Orchester zugleich die Uberschrift fur das ganze Werk und den ersten Satz - und bedeutet inhaltlich: Schmerz ohne Trostung und ohne Ausweg ( es hat irgendeine Trostung notwendig, mein armes zerfallenes Herz). Auch die anderen Satzbezeichnungen stehen uber einzelnen Gedichten oder Gedichtgruppen von Ungaretti; so ist der zweite Satz uberschrieben Allegria di naufragi (Freude der Schiffbruche). Das Wagnis dieser Schiffbruche wird musikalisch durch aleatorische Strukturen symbolisiert (Und auf einmal nimmst du die Fahrt wieder auf). Der dritte Satz tragt die Uberschrift La terra promessa (Das verheissene Land'. Die Stille einer mediterranen Herbstlandschaft klingt an (Die Traube ist reif, das Feld ist bestellt). Das Finale mit dem Titel Soldati beginnt mit einer falschen Fanfare und steigert sich nach mehreren unruhigen Episoden zu einem aggressiven Schlussteil (Den Tod busst man lebend ab).(Jurg Baur).
