Program notes
“Arya is a slow and lyrical work, it is connected with long and fluid melodies that perhaps evoke a kind of lullaby that develops in different ways within an adagio tempo.
I want to believe that the work will arouse emotions in the soul of those who listen to it. I have tried to avoid that the person who listens to Arya is left indifferent. What I have tried to achieve is that vibrates, gets excited and creates through his imagination. But above all I have tried to avoid any hint that makes the soul static, since rest is an attribute of the underworld.
At the end of the day, I sought nothing more than to incorporate as much humanity as possible into my music. That, at least, is what I have tried.”
