Nôtre-Dame de le Babenzele

The concert owes the piece for four-handed piano, composed by Rossano Pinelli, his title. Nôtre-Dame de le Babenzele refers to two main sources of inspiration: music of Nôtre-Dame school and Pigmei Aka’s one. The title attribution to the whole concert highlights the summary pursued by Brescia composer throughout his production. Even other pieces, although converging in search of unified language, reveal opening towards multiple suggestions: from jazz to avant-gard music, from prograssive rock to minimalism, from ethnic music to Middle Ages music, not to mention the centuries-old tradition of West cultured music.
