Dehaske De Haan Jacob - Monterosi - Conducteur & Parties

Summary of This Score

Monterosi is a village in the Italian province of Viterbo, in the Lazio region. This work is dedicated to the Accademia Musicale Francigena of Monterosi, on the occasion of the third national "Tommaso Albani" competition, where the composer often serves as a judge and guest conductor. It is a solemn piece with lyrical tendencies that reflects the glorious and full sound of the ensemble.

Through this writing, both expressive and ceremonial, the score primarily aims to establish an atmosphere of serene grandeur, like a musical salute addressed to an academy and a unifying event. The melodic phrases, with a singing profile, provide a lyrical breath that contrasts with the solemnity of the piece and creates a true narrative arc, ideal for capturing attention from the very first measures.

The "glorious and full" character mentioned in the work's intention emphasizes the balance of the sections and the sonic density: music that sounds, carries, and highlights the collective identity of the ensemble. In a program, this piece naturally finds its place in a ceremonial, competition, or gala concert setting, when one seeks a score that is both noble, expressive, and unifying.
