Product Description

Nuovo Cinema Paradiso rappresenta, forse, la cima artistica di Andrea ed Ennio Morricone.

Già colonna sonora dellomonimo film (1988) di Giuseppe Tornatore, questa musica, proposta in qualsiasi versione in ogni parte del mondo (persino di canzone con testo), è entrata nellimmaginario collettivo degli italiani ed è, chissà, una delle poche melodie da cui ogni italiano si sente rappresentato.

La prima parte di questo arrangiamento è ispirato alla versione di Pat Metheny, che si trova nel bellissimo album Beyond the Missouri Sky. Ridotto a sola chitarra, ho dovuto adottare uninsolita accordatura aperta: DBGDGD, ovvero RE-SI-SOL-RE-SOL-RE. Se scordare la quinta e la sesta corda è cosa abbastanza normale per chi conosce il repertorio per chitarra classica, non posso dire lo stesso per la prima corda, cosa necessaria, in questo caso, per ragioni di eseguibilità. Se da una parte la corda perde di brillantezza, dallaltra ne acquista in morbidezza e dolcezza, sposandosi benissimo con la nostalgia di entrambi i temi.

La seconda parte, il celebre Tema damore, è, invece, una vera e propria trascrizione, efficace e di complicata esecuzione, date le difficoltà nella mano sinistra, necessarie a mantenere senso del legato e cantabilità.

** *

Nuovo Cinema Paradiso perhaps represents the artistic peak of Andrea and Ennio Morricone.

Formerly the soundtrack of the homonymous film (1988) by Giuseppe Tornatore, this music, proposed in any version in any part of the world (even a song with lyrics), has entered the collective imagination of Italians and is, who knows, one of the few melodies by which every Italian feels represented.

The first part of this arrangement is inspired by Pat Metheny's version, recorded on the beautiful album Beyond the Missouri Sky. Reduced to just the guitar, I had to adopt an unusual open tuning: DBGDGD. If untuning the fifth and sixth string is quite normal for those who know the classical guitar repertoire, I cannot say the same for the first string, which is necessary, in this case, for reasons of playability. If on the one hand the string loses its brilliance, on the other it acquires softness and sweetness, matching very well with the nostalgia of both themes.

The second part, the famous Love Theme, is a transcription, very close to the original, not easy to perform, given the difficulties in the left hand, necessary to maintain a sense of legato and cantability.
