Announcement
The Cultural Association D.G.M.A., under the Patronage of the Countdown 2010, the Regione Emilia Romagna, the Provincia of Rimini and the Town of Montefiore Conca - Rn - the participation of the Galleria Rosini and the Cultural Association M.A.R.E., announces the third Silenzio Musica Composer Competition within the Music Festival III Silenzio Musica 2010.
Objective
When Man aims for Truth and educates his thought and his deed to it, Truth becomes a universal moving human value.
Art, Poetry and Music could be the original starting point in the search for Truth and give the language back to its sense and capacity of a free authentic language.
Art, Poetry and Music are human expressions that should always be free from pre-existing dated entrenched human prefabricated crystallized patterns and mental structures.
Silenzio Musica Competition Board invites the participants to listen to their own experience of Life and express it with a Lullaby or a Danza, both of them among the first and the most natural musical forms life has given us.
The choice of these musical forms is to promote and diffuse the following values:
- Musical Value: traditionally, the repertoire of the Lullabies has inspired classic compositions of marvellous vocal pieces like the Wiegenlieder, Berceuses, Lullabies as evinced by the works of masters like: W.A.Mozart, F.Chopin, J.Brahms, R.Schumann, F.Schubert, G.Bizet, E.Grieg, G.Faurè, C.Gounod, P.Tchaikowsky, M.Ravel e C.Debussy.
- Poetic and Artistic Values: the musical idea of the Lullaby has inspired poets and artists as well: V.Van Gogh, M.Giacomelli, M.Salmon, G.Pascoli, W.H.Auden, A.G.Lorca.
- Didactic Value: the Lullaby is the first and the most natural musical form by which the human being is introduced to the music and to the rhythm of life since the time of pregnancy. It is the first musical memory of a new life and it is the first and fundamental instrument in the education of Man.
- Social Value: the popular repertoire has always been inspired by the melodies of the classic repertoire, and vice versa. In this way the classical and the popular repertoire have been diffused among the large public. The form of it is one of the invisible links which unify crosswise the different social classes and realities. |
