Never
before have I felt the
urgency within myself to
communicate with my
instrument something
which goes beyond just
the notes, a desire to
embrace with music parts
of the world which I see
as being so neglected and
abandoned, as if man were
no longer able to see
beyond the narrow
confines of his home and
work spaces. The
environment which
surrounds us, free and
pure, seems to bow more
and more to the base
instincts of abuse which
man brings into play...
the destruction of
centuries-old forests and
glaciers, the
construction of harmful
and disturbing, useless
and polluting elements...
and I wonder what we can
do, what I, as a
musician, can do, at
least to show my
disapproval of these
situations. I have no
straight answer but I
know that writing the
music I love to play,
often born in natural and
wild environments can
help to dream of, or
imagine a present time
which is more on a human
scale, thanks to the
strong evocative power
which music possesses and
emanates.
This is the
meaning of these
compositions, dedicated
to a tree, a 700-year-old
specimen of the Stura
Valley, Lu Merze Gros
(The Big Larch), to the
small beings which
inhabit it, in the bark,
among its foliage, in the
surrounding soil and to
my sense of frustration
at seeing a forest of fir
trees razed to the ground
to allow the construction
of a bobsleigh
run.
This action of
mine has been useless and
nostalgic perhaps, but it
has given me intense
moments of emotion in the
writing and moves me
enormously during its
performance.

io Signorile.
