Senso, non senso, doppio senso is a promenade concert dedicated to the themes of the sacred, nature and food. The programme, divided into three parts, through the interpretation of the word leads the audience to savour the relationship between voice and text, between thought and illusion, between illusion and truth.
The theme of the relationship between sound, word, meaning and musical interpretation begins in the relationship between vibration and the sense of the sacred. Spirituality, contact with the beyond through sound and word, and encounter with silence and fullness, are presented through works by contemporary authors. The use of improvisational techniques will offer the listener a new and personal relationship, as the ensemble will vary its configuration during the concert.
Part two is mainly dedicated to the historical Italian twentieth century. After the timbric suggestions of Pizzetti and Clausetti, mindful of the experience of the impressionists, the relationship with the text becomes amused and entertaining. Nonsense, a form that is not new, but widely used in the twentieth century, closes the second part of the concert with the compositional games of Petrassi.
The third part of the evening is dedicated to musical fun; the double entendre, the joke, musical games. The excerpts from Banchieri’s Festino, written for Venice’s Maundy Thursday, end a journey that starts from the meaning of the word linked to spirituality, and arrives at the word that winks at food and Eros, always with the plural reading typical of Renaissance works.
