Composer Biography
Giorgio Gaslini, born in Milan in 1929, composed the flute works on this album between 1955 and 2011.
Performer Biography
Roberto Fabbriciani, the flutist on this album, is the dedicatee of these works and had a long collaboration with composer Giorgio Gaslini.
Composition History
The composition "Chorus" had its first performance by flutist Severino Gazzelloni at the Festival of Contemporary Music of Venice (Biennale 1965).
Compositional Technique
In "Traiettorie," the unity of the work is reinforced by the use of a single performer playing three different flutes (bass, in G, and in C) to alternate instrumental timbres.
Compositional Technique
In "Logar," the composer Giorgio Gaslini uses a technique called "Armolodia," where a monodic instrument like the flute creates the acoustic impression of a harmonic chord through swift arpeggios.
Composer's Artistic Vision
In his work "Aria con figure," Giorgio Gaslini explored the subtle relationship between geometric shapes like point-line-point, triangle, and cube, and musical forms.
