URBAN LANDSCAPES is a suite composed in March 2020, during the lockdown period imposed due to the corona virus epidemic.
The eight pieces were written on my small 29-string lever harp (G to g) but can also be played on pedal harp or even on piano. They are inspired by some of the most beautiful cities in the world, cities that at the moment we can only visit with our imagination and memories.
PRELUDE is a simple introduction to the collection, whose initial harmonies are reminiscent of those of the famous first prelude from Bach's Well Tempered Clavier.
NAPOLI is a lively tarantella.
LONDON is a quiet song, whose introduction recalls the ringing of the bells. It is published in two keys, to fit the extension of your instrument.
NEW ORLEANS is a cheerful swing song.
SEVILLA is an improvisation in various sections on a flamenco scale, reminiscent of Albeniz's music.
PARIS is a sweet and melancholy song.
WIEN is an elegant waltz.
FAREWELL closes the collection in a melancholic and sweet atmosphere.
