Urania (2023)

Program notes:

The piece was born out of the idea to create a collection of pieces for solo instrument and/ or with electronics, dedicated to the nine Muses, daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne.
The muse in question, as the title of the piece suggests, is Urania, muse of astronomy and geometry.
As usual, Urania has the sole role of inspirational muse, indeed she represents only the point of departure, or rather the pretext upon which the formal framework of the entire work is built.
But it is the stars and the globe that give rise to the idea of structuring the piece around the event of the Big Bang.
The Big Bang as a model describing the birth and evolution of the Universe, from the first moments until today, through all its phases, not as the moment when the Universe began with an explosion from which all the matter we see today overflowed.
