creation

"Having lived in Marseille for some time, I was struck by the quality of the light, whose strength and color evolve as it bounces off the white rock, the surface of the sea, in ever-surprising ways. 

This inspired me to write a piece in several movements. Each is dedicated to a different hour of a sunny day: dawn, with its birdsong and freshness; midday, whose vertical light accepts no compromise, no shade; dusk, when cicadas and scorching heat give way to crickets... 

The piece is dedicated to a bird I was lucky enough to meet during those luminous months, and which I thank for its song."

Matteo Gualandi

The concert program will be completed by other works (program in progress).
