Oceani nuovi

for SATB a cappella choir
Poem by Elisa Gastaldon

The words of the text accompany us in a journey that from the fallen stars of the sky leads us to the shells of the sunny beaches. Stars and shells are both precious gems that shine in a path that meets the regeneration that the infinite waters of the sea offer to travelers of life.

In my music all this is accompanied by an archetypal and ancient image, a woman in love, immersed in a sweet melancholy, walking on the shore of the sea, an image that came to find me in my dreams.

The piece has been premiered online by the Coro Città di Roma (Mauro Marchetti conductor) on 29th April 2021 and will be inserted in a concert of the same choir next Autumn dedicated to the four elements (Fire, Water, Earth, Air).
