Programme notes *: The majestic journey of the unicorn in "Cry of the Last Unicorn": A musical ode to myth and magic The unicorn, a fascinating and mystical creature from the world of mythology, has captured people's imagination for centuries. In Rossano Galante's composition "Cry of the Last Unicorn" for wind orchestra, this legendary creature is celebrated in a musical ode that captures its majesty, grace and tragic beauty. The music begins with a mysterious atmosphere that immediately transports the listener's imagination into a world full of magic and mystery. The gentle sounds of the woodwinds bring to life the image of a forest where the unicorn roams in all its splendor and majesty. Galante's skillful use of melody and harmony creates an atmosphere that captures the timeless appeal and mystery of the unicorn. As the piece progresses, the story of the unicorn continues to unfold in the listener's mind. Galante uses powerful musical motifs and dynamic contrasts to illustrate the unicorn's emotional journey as it asserts itself against the world's threats. From dark and threatening passages that symbolize the dangers and challenges the unicorn faces, to uplifting and triumphant moments that show his strength and determination, the composition offers a layered and moving representation of the unicorn's story. Particularly remarkable is Galante's ability to capture the tragic beauty of the unicorn, which is deeply moving in its loneliness and vulnerability despite its majestic appearance. The unicorn's melody, which runs through the piece, is permeated with a deep melancholy that captivates the listener and makes them identify with the fate of the last unicorn. Overall, "Cry of the Last Unicorn" by Rossano Galante is not just a composition for wind orchestra, but a musical homage to the timeless beauty and mystery of the unicorn. Through its imaginative instrumentation, melodic sophistication and emotional depth, this music takes listeners on an unforgettable journey through the mystical world of the unicorn and leaves a lasting impression of its majestic splendor and tragic beauty.
