Lyric Pieces Vol. II Op. 13

Description

by Alberto Secondo Gallo

a second collection of 5 pieces for youth band

This second volume of Lyric Pieces follows the first, published by Mulph in 2023.

The new collection includes five other little and easy original pieces, especially suitable for instrumental groups of children or non-professional musicians (the degree of difficulty is 2 – 2.5). As in the first volume, the musical language is tonal, melodious and discursive. The pieces, of moderate difficulty, are in different keys with various metric indications, in order to encourage the musical growth of young instrumentalists with a wide metric and harmonic variety, always maintaining constant technical simplicity. Guides and replacements are frequently used, to allow the performance even to incomplete or poorly balanced instrumental groups.

The total duration of the suite is approximately ten minutes.

Special thanks go to my teacher Lorenzo Della Fonte for all his valuable suggestions, without which I could not have completed this and other works. This collection is dedicated to the wind orchestra Corpo Filarmonico G. Donizetti of Corbetta (Milan), and to its conductor Davide Casafina, that in May 2024 gave the first performance of the first volume of Lyric Pieces.
