Musicologo e musicista hanno rappresentato, in questi ultimi decenni, due entita distinte. Il musicologo e quasi sempre uno studioso di preparazione o di inclinazione piu teorica che pratica e che possiede conoscenze scientifiche e letterarie di gran lunga superiori a quelle musicali pratiche. Il musicologo e stato ed e tuttora di grande aiuto al musicista pratico nel suo rendere nota una grande mole di documenti riguardanti la prassi esecutiva delle epoche passate, in particolare del Rinascimento e del Barocco. Cio nonostante, sembra quasi che il musicologo e il musicista pratico lavorino su due piani paralleli destinati a non incontrarsi mai: da un lato la musicologia spesso dimostra di essere fine a se stessa o comunque non destinata a scopi immediatamente pratici, dall'altro il musicista e di solito abbastanza recalcitrante nell'apprendere tecniche esecutive diverse da quelle imparate in conservatorio.
Come risolvere questo problema? Qualcuno lo ha gia fatto fondendo nella stessa persona le due specialita: questo sembra difficile - e forse lo e - ma probabilmente e l'unica soluzione pos- sibile per lo sviluppo futuro della prassi esecutiva della musica antica. Qualcuno potrebbe obiettare che anche nell'antichita convivevano 'musici teorici' e 'musici pratici', ma questi ultimi era- no certamente preparati sia negli aspetti che oggi consideriamo attinenti la musicologia sia in quelli puramente pratici, cioe riguardanti la tecnica vocale e strumentale. Inoltre, gli antichi musici teorici avevano ben poco in comune con i moderni musicologi: essi appartenevano ad una speciale categoria di scienziati-filosofi, indagatori di speculazioni teoriche e matematiche nonche astrologiche e cabalistiche, tesi a investigare i segreti piu occulti in relazione con la musica.
E quindi auspicabile che il musicista moderno approfondisca la sua conoscenza della prassi esecutiva della musica antica per poterla eseguire rispettandone la vera natura. Il presente studio, gia in uso nella classe di Flauto Dolce del Conservatorio <> di Bologna, rappresenta un utile supporto per giungere a questo scopo. Il contenuto delle varie sezioni e sintetico, ma, crediamo, esauriente e comprensibile a tutti coloro che desiderano elevare il proprio livello di conoscenza nel campo della musica antica o che, piu semplicemente, necessitano di un'agevole guida che permetta di risolvere rapidamente eventuali dubbi di carattere storico e pratico.
(G. Pacchioni).

Getraumt wurde 1989/90 im Auftrag des Deutschen Musikrates komponiert und kann entweder von 36 Frauenstimmen oder 36 Mannerstimmen aufgefuhrt werden. Die Komposition verwendet isolierte Fragmente, die dem Gedicht ,,Nachtflug von Ingeborg Bachmann entnommen sind.Der Gedanke der kompositorischen Verwendung eines homogenen vokalen Klangapparats von vielen solistischen Stimmen, der ahnlich einem ,,Tausendfussler funktionieren sollte, d.h. trotz maximaler Individualisierung der einzelnen Glieder die Scharfe der zentralen Integration nicht verliert, war grundlegend fur dieses Werk. Nicht die Semantik, sondern die Klanglichkeit der Worter, deren Atomisierung, die assoziativen Verbindungen unterschiedlicher Partikel die Isolation und Hervorhebung einzelner Phoneme, standen bei der Komposition im Vordergrund. Die ,,ecriture der im Kreis um den Horer platzierten 36 Stimmen (in der Partitur auf 9 Gruppen zu je 4 Stimmen verteilt) versucht die auskomponierten Raume und die entsprechenden Klangwanderungen wie in einem ,,pulsierenden Ozean schwebender Klange maximal zu differenzieren. So gibt es z. B. in den Takten 50-53 der Partitur elf verschiedene Farbflachenarten, die sich verzahnen: 1) Farbmischung von: gesungen und geflustert auf ,,R 2) knarrende Stimme 3) Sprechgesang-Impulse in den extremen Lagen, so schnell wie moglich 4) Mischung von: a) Schnalzen in Richtung Gaumen, Mundstellung offen/zu, b) Lippengerausch ahnlich dem Gerausch eines Korkenziehers, c) Schnalzen in Richtung vordere Zahne, Mundstellung offen/zu, und d) knarrende Stimme 5) Pfeifimpulse 6) Pfeifen mit gleichzeitigem Sprechgesang, glissando 7) Pfeifen mit gleichzeitiger Singstimme, glissando 8) rhythmisiertes Alternieren von Schnalzen in Richtung vordere Zahne, Mundstellung offen/zu 9) Flustern mit Handvibrato 10) Singstimme auf ,,a 11) ,,Einatmen-Ausatmen-Impulse Das Schleudern der Gerauschpartikel durch den 36kopfigen Klangapparat beruht auch auf Kategorien visueller Dimension: dem Einbeziehen von Nahe und Weite, Linie und Flache, Oszillation und Stillstand, Richtungsanderung oder Pendeln der Klange. In letzter Konsequenz will die Komposition die Illusion eines expandierenden Klangraumes mit migrierenden Punkten und Figuren schaffen. So wird die Partitur zu einer ,,Landkarte der in Raum beweglichen ,,Klanglandschaft, die aus dem Zusammen- und Wechselspiel vieler filigranartiger, in sich geschlossener Klangfelder entstanden ist. Auch wenn grossere Blocke oder Flachen im Werk sich entfalten, deuten sie immer auf die Fluchtigkeit, die Instabilitat und Zerbrechlichkeit des Moments.CDs:ORF-Chor, cond.

Giovanni Podera: Fantasia (In memoriam Joaquín Rodrigo)
Marco Reghezza: Nana Estrellada
Marco Simoni: Junto a Rodrigo
Marco Smaili: Fronda de la tarde (Homenaje a Joaquín Rodrigo)
Paolo Ugoletti: Fuga a 4 voci

Following the successful publication of Homenaje a Rodrigo (2015), containing four pieces by Alessandro Spazzoli – one of which was performed in the presence of the composer’s daughter, Cecilia Rodrigo, during her visit to the International Convention in Alessandria –, here is the second volume. It contains more tributes to Rodrigo written on my input by five well-known Italian and Spanish composers, two of whom are also guitarists and have therefore written the fingering for their own pieces.
Giovanni Podera plunges us into a typically Rodrigo-like atmosphere with his evocative Fantasia, while the following three compositions are full of direct quotations from pieces also for guitar by the great composer from Valencia. Thus, Marco Simoni, in his expressive Junto a Rodrigo – which also provides the title to the volume – plays with themes taken from Junto al Generalife and from Dos piezas caballerescas for a cello ensemble as well as hinting at reminiscences of Tiento antiguo. As for Marco Smaili, in his impressionistic Fronda de la tarde, he evokes quite evidently Zarabanda lejana and Invocación y Danza, but there are more hidden references to Caminos de Santiago and even to the very famous Concierto de Aranjuez. Marco Reghezza builds his heart-breaking Nana estrellada on a sequence of chords used by Rodrigo in the fantasia ¡Que buen caminito!.
On the other hand, there are no direct quotations and echoes of Rodrigo’s way of writing in the Fuga a quattro voci by Paolo Ugoletti. However it was Rodrigo himself who constructed four-part imitative passages for guitar in Pasacalle and in the Ricercare of the Fantasia para un Gentilhombre. The close polyphony of the piece by Ugoletti may be considered as a tribute to this kind of craft shown by Rodrigo who, like Ugoletti, was able to write such dense and idiomatic counterpoint without being a guitar-player.
I am pleased that this volume comes out in the imminence of the 20th anniversary of the disappearance of the illustrious Spanish composer who gave so much to the musicians – and not only to them.
(Piero Bonaguri)

Muchas gracias por este emotivo y excelente musical homenaje a mi padre. La edición es excelente y la difundiremos con todos nuestros medios por las redes sociales a nuestro alcance. Ha sido un gran trabajo por su parte, fruto de sus grandes conocimientos guitarrísticos y su devoción por Joaquín Rodrigo.  Le reitero mi gratitud y mi felicitación con el ruego transmita a los cinco compositores mi felicitación y deseos de éxito.
