Vals d'la Masca; Il racconto della Montagna; Sequenze sotterranee

The Alpinia Suite was commissioned and composed for the festival <> and is dedicated to my friend and colleague Elio Galvagno. It was performed for the first time on August 30, 2011, in the Church of San Giovanni in Saluzzo, by an ensemble of professional and student guitarists from all over Europe. This piece was written to commemorate the first ascent of mount Monviso, by William Mathews, Frederick Jacomb, Jean Baptiste Croz and Michel Croz, exactly 150 years before, on August 30, 1861.
The first movement is a small Waltz. I imagined a Masca (a sort of alpine pixie, a teasing sprite), dancing all around the house and playing tricks, mostly harmless and funny. The Masca is a legendary and very important character in the folklore of my valleys, and all rationally inexplicable events of everyday life are ascribed to her - such as objects that cannot be found anymore, holes in flour sacks, salt in sugar bowls...
The next two movements are a homage to the Mountains. The Tale is a sort of journal, a bright and peaceful chronicle of a hike uphill, in which the beauty of the place is highlighted by an easy harmony and a sweet melody. After this, Underground sequences evokes that same world in a darker and nocturnal way; the faster pace and the choice of repeated and varying patterns are meant to show the transformation of the former environment into something more complex and tormented. Here mountains are a metaphor of human life, warts and all: their sundrenched slopes and their green pasture grasslands, but also their icy and dangerous northern sides, which demand calm, training and caution.
(G. Signorile).

Tener buen o do musical es generalmente lo que se requiere para ser o convertirse en un buen guitarrista. Es bien sencillo... todo parte de ello y todo pasa por ello. Pero al igual que los dedos que están en contacto con la guitarra, el o do también tiene que formarse y entrenarse para ser eficiente. Y eso pasa de manera inevitable por unos ejercicios espec ficos, tales como los que le brindamos en nuestro método. Saber reconocer los intervalos entre las notas es la base de la formación auditiva (ear training en inglés). Y por eso hemos dedicado un importante primer cap tulo a su estudio en profundidad. En los cap tulos siguientes, uno podrá abordar ya, pasito a paso, losarpegios y acordes de 3 o 4 sonidos, as como las escalas... herramientas imprescindibles para identificar de o do los solos y los acompañamientos tocados por la guitarra. Cada etapa de su aprendizaje abarca un quiz musical que le permite evaluar sus conocimientos, sus progresos... y también su aptitud a pasar a la etapa siguiente. En el disco MP3 adjunto, uno encontrará las grabaciones audios (formato mp3) que corresponden a los numerosos ejercicios y quiz del método.
