Nino Rota (1911-1979) war ein italienischer Komponist, der hauptsächlich Filmmusik schrieb. Zu seinen ungefähr 150 Filmmusiken zählen die Soundtracks für Der Pate I und II und zahlreiche weitere Filme von berühmten Regisseuren, wie Federico Fellini, Luigi Visconti und Francis Ford Coppola. Sein Landsmann Lorenzo Bocci ehrt ihn nun mit diesem Medley. Les musiques de Nino Rota ont marqué l’histoire du cinéma. Ses thèmes mythiques sont associés des scènes inoubliables de films de grands réalisateurs comme Fellini, Visconti ou Coppola (avec Le Parrain I et Le Parrain II pour lequel il reçut un Oscar en 1974). Ce medley signé Lorenzo Bocci rassemble quatre des partitions les plus célèbres du maître italien : Bevete piú latte (Boccace 70), Amarcord, La dolce vota et La Passarella (8 ½).Nino Rota è il compositore di alcune delle colonne sonore più famose mai scritte, sia per il grande cinema italiano (indimenticabili le collaborazioni con Federico Fellini) sia per Hollywood (basti pensare alla colonna sonora de Il Padrino, vincitrice del meritatissimo oscar). Il medley include musiche tratte da Amarcord, 8½, La Dolce Vita e Boccaccio ’70.

The title is a play on words, but the composer had his own ulterior motives in mind when composing this piece. He wanted a piece that was fun to play, but that helped developing musicians work on their rhythmic skills. Matt Putnam uses the feel of action film soundtracks to create the mood of this interesting new piece. Interesting grooves in the percussion throughout add to the piece’s feel of mystery and thrill.To understand my thoughts in writing this piece, I thought it best to define the two ideas that give the piece its title: ulterior motives and musical motifs. Ulterior motives occur when you believe that a person is doing something for some unknown or hidden reason. Often, they are used in action films or literature to increase the drama and tension of the story. Musically, a motif is a short rhythmic and/or melodic idea. When I wrote this piece, I must confess that I had my own ulterior motives: I wanted to create a piece that was fun to play, but I also wanted a piece that would help students develop their rhythmic counting skills. In this piece, I use a motif of a two eighth-note pattern which jumps from section to section to help me achieve my ulterior motive.Mimicking the mood of action films whose characters often have ulterior motives, the mood of the piece is suspenseful and exciting as the motif jumps from section to section throughout the ensemble. The motif keeps you guessing as it occurs on all four different beats of the measure sometimes ascending, sometimes descending, and occurs sometimes in the interval of a second and sometimes the interval of a third. Interesting grooves in the percussion throughout add to the piece’s feel of mystery and thrill.I have no ulterior motives when I say that I hope you enjoy playing Ulterior Motifs.
