Programme notes *: The title "Terra di Montagne", translated as "Land of Mountains", already reveals that the composition has a deep connection to the natural environment of the Tyrolean mountain landscape. The overture begins with a rousing opening fanfare that immediately transports the listener to the majestic splendor of the mountains. The powerful sounds of the horns create an atmosphere of grandeur and wonder, while at the same time the music conveys an idea of grandeur and majestic breadth. The Allegro con brio that follows the fanfare captures the energy and vitality of the mountains. The music flows at a brisk pace, conveying the sense of movement and adventure that comes with exploring the mountains. The various instrumental voices interact harmoniously with each other and create a dynamic soundscape that sweeps the listener along. A quiet middle section brings a well-deserved break to the musical journey. A solo flugelhorn (cornet) takes center stage here, lending the composition an intimate and lyrical note. The solo instrument literally sings a ballad of the mountains, and the listener can be enchanted by the tranquility and beauty of the landscape. The opening theme finally returns and forms the climax of the work, which culminates in a grandiose finale. The recurring melody brings unity and structure to the composition while creating an emotional connection between the different parts of the overture. The finale expresses the full orchestral power and lets the music culminate in a triumphant and rousing conclusion. Quelle/Source: musicainfo.net (KI) Mountains and valleys travels
