This work
is based on the story of
the soldier and the
princess from the film
Cinema Paradiso.
Long ago a poor soldier
fell in love with a
beautiful princess. He
had nothing to offer her,
but managed to meet her
and declare his love. The
princess was very taken
by his emotional plea,
and told him that if he
were to wait under her
balcony for one hundred
days and nights, she
would be his. Waiting
patiently, the soldier
endured all manner of
torment from weather,
wildlife and starvation.
Finally on the
next-to-last night, the
soldier took up his chair
and disappeared. The
music evokes the
atmosphere of the
poignant story, and the
work is divided into
three different
movements. Duration:
5:00.
