Additional info/contents	This descriptive suite "La Finestra sul Lago" (Window on the Lake) took shape during a daily trip to Lake Misurina on a beautiful day at the end of the summer. The sun, peeping out from the mountains, radiates the first warm beams of the day and illuminates the body of water, which is swarming with life. Sitting at the lake shore, I can admire the joyful fluttering of the dragonflies against the light on the lake surface. They move with speed and frenzy, and the first movement of the suite precisely describes the activity of these very little and interesting insects. But suddenly, a stone thrown by a child brings to an end this spectacle and the little dragonflies fly away. The second section, poignant and delicate, describes in music the lonely life of a willow that lays its many branches on the shore near the lake. A gentle breeze from the east slips whistling through the branches and shakes their extremities, while some waterfowls stop at the bottom of the large tree, almost as though they'd like to comfort and keep company with the old sage. From the left, near the underbrush, here comes a happy family of ducklings lead by the mother duck. The typical gait of this bird is clearly represented by the initial 6/8 meter. With an agile bounce, mother duck jumps into the lake while, one by one, the ducklings glide on the shore and awkwardly enter the lake wallowing cheerful and content just a few meters from the shoreline. The tarantella well describes this funny moment when the ducklings, waving their small paws, happily dance around mother duck. In the end, captivated by images, sounds, colors, and scents that overwhelm my five senses, I go back home, bringing with me the memory of this unforgettable day.

Programme notes *: "La Finestra sul Lago (Window to the Lake)" for wind orchestra by Diego de Pasqual The composition "La Finestra sul Lago (Window to the Lake)" for wind orchestra by Diego de Pasqual is a suite in three movements that describes a musical journey to an idyllic lake and its natural beauty. Each movement captures a specific scene and mood that takes the listener through the different facets of this peaceful place. 1. Libellule d'Estate (Allegro) - The first movement, "Libellule d'Estate" (Summer Dragonflies), opens the suite with a lively and lively Allegro. The music describes the shimmering movement of dragonflies dancing over the lake in summer. The fast, light runs and playful rhythms of the woodwinds capture the agility and grace of the dragonflies. The orchestra uses bright, sparkling timbres to reflect the lively and joyful atmosphere of a sunny summer day. The dynamism and rhythmic momentum of this movement create a sense of lightness and joy that immediately draws the listener into the busy scenery of the lake. 2. Il Cigno solitario (Moderato) - The second movement, "Il Cigno solitario" (The Lonely Swan), is in stark contrast to the first movement. This calm and thoughtful moderato passage describes the graceful and majestic movement of a lone swan on the still waters of the lake. Gentle, flowing melodies and soft harmonies convey a sense of peace and solitude. The slow, elegant lines of the woodwinds and strings paint a picture of calm waters and the gentle glide of the swan. This music exudes a quiet beauty and serenity that invites the listener to pause and dream. 3. La Danza Degli Anatroccoli (Allegro) - The third movement, "La Danza Degli Anatroccoli" (The Dance of the Ducklings), concludes the suite with a lively and cheerful Allegro. This movement describes the playful movements and merry antics of the little ducklings on the shore of the lake. Bubbly and cheerful melodies, lively rhythms and humorous musical turns create a cheerful and exuberant mood. The fast and energetic music captures the lively and innocent antics of the ducklings and conveys a sense of carefree joy and childlike fun. The orchestra uses a variety of instruments and timbres to depict the various movements and sounds of the ducklings, making this movement particularly colorful and entertaining. Diego de Pasqual's "La Finestra sul Lago" suite is a masterfully composed work that captures the beauty and diversity of a natural lake in three contrasting movements. Each movement has its own unique mood and tells a specific story that takes the listener through a musical landscape full of liveliness, calm and joy. De Pasqual skilfully exploits the sonic possibilities of the wind orchestra to create vivid images and emotions that immerse the listeners in the world of the lake. This composition is not only a delight for the audience, but also a challenge for the musicians, as it demands the technical skills and expressiveness of each individual. "La Finestra sul Lago" remains an impressive example of Diego de Pasqual's artistry and creativity and enriches the wind orchestra repertoire with its musical diversity and profound beauty.
