Davide Verotta - Flora - Amy Foote, soprano, Friction Quartet
A soft-spoken warning about global warming and the perils associated with the Anthropocene, Flora is inspired by two ancient texts about the goddess of spring. The first, by Ovid (Fasti, Book 5; written 8 C.E.), describes the origin and powers of Flora, and the second, a poem by Virgil (Hymn to Spring, Georgiche, Book 2; published 30 B.C.E.) celebrates the season of rebirth. In the narrative of the piece, the goddess appears in physical form to the poet, answers his question about her nature and powers, and warns about the silent spring that might be coming. Then, symbolized by a final section for string quartet, the apparition disappears.
Premiere Video, 19/1/2024, Sunset Arts and Music, San Francisco. Amy Foote, soprano; Otis Harriel, violin; Kevin Rogers, violin; Mitso Floor, viola; Doug Machiz, cello.
Video/Recording by Steve Mobia.

Davide Verotta - Energy - Chamber Orchestra Version
มุมมอง 1023 หลายเดือนก่อน
Energy is a relatively short orchestral piece that is divided in three main sections. The first presents three musical ideas that overlap and recur in a rather meandering way. Think about it as a coil that winds up, to lead to the second section. The second section gives the name to the piece: it never lets up, and even when the tempo slows down, percussion keeps the tension going until the sec...

Davide Verotta - Five Movements for Five Players
มุมมอง 4657 หลายเดือนก่อน
Five Movements for Five players is a moody piece that goes through different emotional landscapes. After a short introduction the first movement explodes forward, establishes what will become a recurring musical theme in the piece, and develops into rather complex and rhythmically varied lines. The second, third (played with a short pause after the second), and fourth movements, in slow, fast, ...
Davide Verotta - Tsure - Haruka Fujii Trio
มุมมอง 42011 หลายเดือนก่อน
Tsure is freely inspired by the classic Noh Theater play Yamamba (Mountain Crone). Tsure, a dancer from Kyoto, is traveling in a pilgrimage to Zenkō-ji temple in the provinces. One day, during the journey, the sun suddenly sets before sundown, and a woman appears. She reveals herself as a mountain crone and asks the dancer to perform for her. When the frightened dancer tries to do so, she angri...
Davide Verotta - Summoning in Vain - Martha Rodriguez-Salazar, Sharon Wayne
มุมมอง 8211 หลายเดือนก่อน
Summoning in Vain is a piece for alto flute and guitar that depicts a feeling of unfulfilled longing. A longing for a moment in the past, or a place, a person. Summoned in our mind but, unavoidably, gone unanswered. The piece is divided in three movements. Recorded live in San Francisco, May 6, 2023. Martha Rodriguez-Salazar, alto flute, Sharon Wayne, guitar. Video/Recording by Zach Miley. Scor...
Davide Verotta - String Quartet No.10 - The Cecilia Ensemble - String Quartet
มุมมอง 40711 หลายเดือนก่อน
Written in December 2022, and following up on String Quartet No.9 (The Little One), String Quartet No.10 (Hope) is a mid-sized string quartet that alternates between two main musical themes. The first comes in as a jolt, at the beginning of the piece. The second, much more hesitant and restrained, is heard immediately after. It develops into a short interlude that tapers off and leads to a retu...
Davide Verotta - Deep Blue, Vermillion and Ivy Gold
มุมมอง 12311 หลายเดือนก่อน
Deep Blue, Vermillion and Ivy Gold is a set of two pieces for violin and piano. Originally inspired by colors, it later started to take shape as a sort of vague story, from which it takes its subtitle: “Later, after the vision, it danced, the slightly mad Faun”. First movement is the vision, second movement the dance. Recorded live in San Francisco, May 6, 2023. Monika Gruber, violin, Davide Ve...
Davide Verotta - Tsure Goes to the Beach - Haruka Fujii, Marimba
มุมมอง 12911 หลายเดือนก่อน
Tsure Goes to the Beach is a set of two pieces for marimba that originated as a sort of lighthearted companion to another composition of mine, Tsure. Where Tsure is a rather complex piece inspired by an ancient morality tale, Tsure Goes to the Beach is just about a young woman excitedly anticipating a visit to the beach, and then when she gets there, she stands on top of a sand dune and marvels...
Davide Verotta - Sulle Aride Pendici - Bernal Hill Players
มุมมอง 8811 หลายเดือนก่อน
Sulle Aride Pendici (On the Barren Slopes) takes its inspiration from “La Ginestra” (The Broom Tree), a poem written by the Italian poet Giacomo Leopardi in 1836. Vesuvius, the volcano which brings destruction, dominates the entire poem. The humble ginestra lives on its aride pendici without surrendering to its force. For Leopardi the broom resembles the ideal human, who rejects any illusions a...
Moon Views - Davide Verotta
มุมมอง 43611 หลายเดือนก่อน
The moon has probably inspired poets since the dawn of the human species. It is a silvery, soothing, mysterious, erratic presence in our skies. Moon Views is a short song cycle based on three poems that do not share much besides being human views of the same subject, the moon. They are actually of very different colors, ranging from the elegiac "Hymn to the Moon", to the strange luminous imager...
Davide Verotta - Liczba Pi for Choir
มุมมอง 355ปีที่แล้ว
LICZBA Pi (Number Pi) is inspired by a poem by Nobel-winning Polish poet Wistawa Szymborska. Defined millennia ago as the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, Pi was important for very practical reasons. First and foremost, to compute the circumference and area of a circle from its diameter - task that, if one tries without knowing the value of Pi, is not easy. Pi turned out ...
Davide Verotta - DESPITE IT - Piano Quartet
มุมมอง 604ปีที่แล้ว
Despite It is a relatively short composition characterized by a mood of oblivious defiance. An “It” happens midway through the piece, right before the cello solo, but the composition kind of cheerfully ignores it and moves on in its sort of merry mood, with just hints of disquiet. Recorded Live in San Francisco, November 5, 2022 - Stephen Zielinski, clarinet; Monika Gruber, violin; Victoria Ehr...

มุมมอง 256ปีที่แล้ว
Bright Orange for Brass is a composition for Brass ensemble divided in five sections. The first and fourth sections are slow and played mostly by individual players. The second section serves as a sort of introduction to the third section, which is faster and dance-like. The last section is the fastest and uses an irregular rhythm, with beats divided 2-2-2-3, which is common in the Balkans and ...
