Insidia Terroris Federico Agnello

Komponist / Composer: Federico Agnello
Instrumentation: Concert Band
Produkttyp / Product: Partitura e parti formato concerto

The composition Insidia Terroris tells the story of the deepest fears that one carries inside; a story of fears that surface in the middle of the night, when everything is dark, still, and silent. At night, one's senses amplify every little noise or creak that breaks off the silence. While fantasizing on the origin of these undefined noises, one can feel the tension growing: darkness takes over, the heartbeat speeds up, and anguish gnaws our feelings. But all these fantasies recede if one can just scream out loud, and at that point one's conscious state and rationality come back. The listener can feel the tension from the first to the last measure of this composition. Dark sonorities, grotesque sounds, some persistent dissonances and peculiar harmonies, all contribute to the exceptionality of this work in its genre. This descriptive piece, which showcases a major sonorous and emotional impact, is written for youth band.
