SEAS AND MOUNTAINS’ TAMBOURINE

Description

Ensemble for accessories

by Franco Cardaropoli

Sea has always been a source of inspiration for Italian and foreign musicians.

The sea is the protagonist but it also knows how to make a background for love stories, romantic situations, inner torments, tragedies and abandonment. The sea is understood as a metaphor of the history of man, his evolution, achievements, symbolizes the freedom that always escapes, in one way or another, to any attempt at control or submission.

The mountains symbolize obstacles, but also the will to overcome them, with all imprecisions. They represent the experience of the dreamer, the difficulties to face, the effort required to reach one’s goals, the joy for the conquered peaks, the fear for the dangers, the emptiness and failure. The mountain is a clear symbol of courage, determination to overcome obstacles to reach the summit. But you must also know how to go down, because the descent has a strong symbolic value, especially after reaching the summit. Going down means that you do not stop, you are ready to start again for the next challenge, maybe by sea and the sound of tambourines encourages us to do so!
