Description
Concert band - Grade 2.5
SKU: S4.ESB1034
Composed by Filippo Ledda. Original Work. Score and set of parts. Duration 7:10. Published by Scomegna Edizioni Musical srl (S4.ESB1034).In this piece the composer was inspired by Cuili Piras archaeological site in Sardinia, an ancient megalithic site built up of 53 granite menhirs, which not only created a site of worship but also a precision astronomic calendar. The atmospheres evocated by the music take us back to the prehistoric age, raising the fascinating question about who might have been capable of creating a construction of such astonishing proportions and characteristics.
