[ITALIANO]
Arrangiare un brano di Franco Battiato è molto difficile perché la sua interpretazione staccata e narrativa, la sua voce dal timbro molto alto e l'argomento, di solito lontano nel tempo e dalla realtà ma qui estremamente vicino a raccontare l'amore in una delle fasi più intense della vita rischiano di stravolgerla. In più, ogni tentantivo di reinterpretarla con altra musica richiede di essere un artista altrettanto grande: io non sono nè grande nè artista, al limite... essere.
Ho cercato perciò di stare vicino all'orginale, riconoscibile dal motivetto in sedicesimi che si ripete per tutta la canzone.
Poiché si sa che la versione vocale "stufa prima" delle versioni suonate e l'originale dura 4 minuti, ho tagliato l'intera strofa "Ti porterò...".
Per chi volesse reinserirla, è facile: dalla battuta 41 si torna alla 5, si ripercorre fino alla 18 (con il testo cambiato per il solista, "Ti porterò...", ma le altre voci sono identiche ) e si riprende dalla 42 fino alla fine.
[ENGLISH]
Arranging a piece by Franco Battiato it's not an easy game: lyrics are often very far in time and his singing very personal and narrative. Here the lyrics tells a love in a hard moment of life and every element is placed in a delicate balance where any change can be disruptive.
Even trying to modify the music style would require an artist of the same weight, and I am not.
So I tried to stay close to the original, using the most recognizable pattern of the song (the notes in sixteenth).
Since we know that the vocal versions have to be shorter than the played ones (ears get bored before) and the original song if 4 minutes long, I cut the entire verse "Ti porterò...". For those who want to play also the missing part, it’s easy: from bar 41 go back to bar 5, sing up to bar 18 (with the lyrics changed for the lead, "Ti porterò...", other voices do not change) and then go ahead to bar 42 and from there to the end.
