In this section you'll find exemples of various styles of music. I didn't want to flood you with too much music, therefore I selected some samples to give an idea of what kind of sounds and styles are in my repertoire. I can produce almost everything, from orchestra scores to rhythmic and electronic music, and of course vocals and acoustic instruments can also be available.

Concerning my contemporary classic production I've composed music for various ensembles and intruments. If you're a musician, and if you'd like to receive scores, send me a request via  e-mail.
Two string quartets and a six voices vocal composition (SSATBrB, on a poem by Pier Paolo Pasolini) are published online by Taukay. You need to sign up to download (it is free). Please give notice of public performances.

A film score for orchestra. The title reflects its style since it could work very well as a soundtrack for a light English mystery comedy.

Primitive slow paced music for relaxation. The rhythm and the ornaments take you to a second more melodic part with flute and strings.

Electronic sounds in an unusual context. A melody on the guitar emerges like a surprise, and gives the piece a sweet tone.
 
opens in a new window  L'Agguato opens in a new window opens in a new window  L'Agguato opens in a new window

The piece was originally composed for a very long ambush scene, from its preparation to its tragic conclusion. Because it was not used
by the show given editorial considerations, it is therefore 100% mine with no need for any additional copyright clearances.

A piece composed for piano, this composition is illustrative of my “contemporary classic” repertoire.
Commissioned by the Italian contemporary music festival “Nuovi Spazi Musicali”, it was performed at the Hungarian Academy in Rome
by the phenomenal pianist Mark Latimer, who is the recording artist here.
Live recording by Peter Dimpflmeier.
 
opens in a new window  Pater si non potest opens in a new window opens in a new window  Pater si non potest opens in a new window

This organ piece is clearly inspired by one of the most intense Chants in the Gregorian tradition. The performer is Livia Mazzanti,
one of the very best organists of our time. Her unique style provides a very expressive and rich interpretation of my piece.

I also compose songs, and I've given it a lot of thought before I decided to put one here (at the end... why not?).
Also when it comes to songs, I like to write all sort of different things.
This one is as of now my favorite (lyrics by Steven Garrett).
The complete version is quite a big file, please, please, please, be patient.
