Alcuni
documenti antichi segnalano infatti che donne e uomini del paese
friulano di Palazzolo
eseguivano questa danza cantando in due cori per evocare la pioggia.
Il
brano è stato ripreso da diversi gruppi e autori moderni come il
cantautore Angelo Branduardi.

“NEL COR PIU' NON MI SENTO“ è forse la più conosciuta tra le innumerevoli arie d'opera composte da GIOVANNI PAISIELLO, musicista e compositore italiano del 1700.
Tratta
dalla commedia per musica in tre atti “La
Molinara”
che
narra le vicende amorose di una bella molinara, l'Aria fu
apprezzata da molti musicisti tanto che il suo tema fu immortalato
nelle variazioni
di Beethoven
.e nel Capriccio di Paganini.
“ADAGIO
IN SOL MINORE
“ è composizione di TOMASO
GIOVANNI ALBINONI,
musicista e compositore italiano appartenente al periodo del
barocco.
Nato
a Venezia da una ricca famiglia di mercanti, studiò violino e canto,
e già in età precoce divenne un bravo cantante e soprattutto un
valente violinista.

Molti
dei lavori di Albinoni andarono perduti durante la Seconda
guerra mondiale
la sua composizione più famosa , l'Adagio
in sol Minore,
è stata ricostruita da Remo
Giazotto,
un musicologo milanese, nel 1945.

Questo
genere di composizioni veniva eseguito durante feste ed
intrattenimenti e spesso il contenuto del testo non era impegnativo
ma divertente; infatti AMOR VITTORIOSO descrive Amore come una
divinità armata di arco e frecce che colpisce i cuori per farli
innamorare: per questo bisogna sapersi difendere da lui come in
battaglia.
“Va'
pensiero” dal Nabucco. GIUSEPPE
VERDI fu un artista in grado di infondere nei suoi
connazionali i migliori sentimenti necessari ad un popolo che aspirava
all'indipendenza ed all'unità: coraggio, buona volontà, slancio e rigore
morale.

E' il caso del Nabucco, un'opera composta da
Verdi nel 1842 e basata sulla prigionia cui gli Ebrei dovettero sottostare nel
VI secolo a.C., quando vennero deportati dai Babilonesi del re Nabuccodonosor.
Anche se la vicenda di quest'opera ha un “lieto fine”, con il pentimento e la
conversione del monarca, il brano che raccolse subito un grande successo fu il
coro “Va' pensiero” cantato dagli Ebrei in catene colti in un momento in cui
pensano alla loro patria “sì bella e perduta”. Questo episodio rispecchiava
perfettamente il momento storico che stavano attraversando gli Italiani
d'allora, ancora sottomessi a potenze straniere e privi di unità nazionale. I
patrioti Italiani trovarono così nelle parole di quegli Ebrei gli stessi loro
sentimenti e trassero da esse forza e speranza per il loro futuro riscatto.

La
musica è stata composta, orchestrata e prodotta da ENNIO
MORRICONE,
uno dei compositori e musicisti italiani piu' famosi nell'ambito
della musica da film.
La
colonna sonora del film THE MISSION ha ricevuto una nomination nel
1986,
ed ha vinto il Golden Globe per la migliore colonna sonora
originale.

It 's a mysterious dance that has medieval origins and refers to an ancient pagan ritual celebrated in northern Italy to make it rain at midnight during the day of Pentecost.
Some ancient documents indicate that in fact women and men in the country of Palazzolo used to perform this dance, singing two choirs to evoke the rain.
This song was sucessively picked up as source of inspiration by different groups and modern authors such as singer-songwriter Angelo Branduardi.


“NEL COR PIU' NON MI SENTO" is perhaps the best known among the innumerable opera arias composed by Giovanni PAISIELLO, Italian musician and composer in 1700.
It comes from the comedy for music in three acts "La Molinara" which tells about the love story of a beautiful miller. This theme was appreciated by many musicians and was immortalized in the variations of Beethoven, and in The Capriccio of Paganini.
"Adagio
in G minor"
is the composition of TOMASO GIOVANNI ALBINONI, belonging to
the
Italian musician and composer of the Baroque period.
Born in Venice from a rich merchant family, he started studing violin and singing at an early age and became still young a good singer and above all, a talented violinist.
His works were always considered
at the height of equally famous and contemporary composers such as
Corelli and Vivaldi. His instrumental music greatly attracted the
attention of Johann Sebastian Bach, who wrote at least two fugues on
his musical themes. He lived almost always in Venice even though
there were reports of some of his trips in Europe.
Many of the works of Albinoni were lost during the Second World War, his most famous composition, the Adagio in G Minor, was reconstructed by Remo Giazotto, a musicologist from Milan, in 1945.
"AMOR
VICTORIOUS"
is a ballet for 5 voices written by Giovanni Giacomo GASTOLDI a
Renaissance composer whose origins are from Bergamo.This kind of
compositions was performed during festivities or entertainment and
often the content of the text was not difficult but funny, in fact
AMOR VICTORIOUS describes love as a divinity armed with bows and
arrows hitting the hearts to make them fall in love. For this we must
know how to defend from him as in battle!

"VA' PENSIERO” from the Nabucco. Giuseppe VERDI was an artist
able to instill in his compatriots the best feelings necessary to a nation who
aspired for independence and unity :
courage, goodwill, vigor and moral rectitude.
This enthusiasm could be aroused even by events that were not only far apart in
time from those of Italy' in the nineteenth century but were even more
dramatic.
It 's the case of the Nabucco, an opera composed by Verdi in 1842 and based on Jews' submission in captivity during the sixth century BC, when they were deported by Babylonian King Nabuccodonosor. Even if the story has a "happy ending" with the repentance and conversion of the monarch, the song which gathered an immediate success was the chorus "Va 'pensiero" sung by Jews chained, caught while they are sadly thinking to their country "so beautiful and lost." This episode perfectly reflects the historical moment that the Italians were going through at that time, still submitted to foreign powers and without national unity. The Italians Patriots recognize themselves and their feelings in the words of those Jews and drew strength and hope for their future redemption.
