Video tutorial & interactive score
“White Christmas” is the popular song composed by Irving Berlin in 1942. The version performed by Bing Crosby for the musical film “White Christmas” in 1954 is the most famous and one of my favorite songs of all time.
Few weeks ago I was listening to it and for a mysterious reason made me think of another my favorite music, the “Nuovo Cinema Paradiso” film soundtrack, by Ennio Morricone, which this year passed away, as you all know. So I came up with this idea of a musical experiment, a little tribute, and ended up with a Christmas arrangement which includes “White Christmas” and a couple of themes from Ennio Morricone’s soundtrack. Thinking of what we all went through this year, I imagined what a different Christmas would be for all kids around the world and opted for an arrangement that would sound like a lullaby, with bells and carillon type of atmosphere.

On November 10th, 2018, Maestro Ennio Morricone celebrates his 90th birthday. For this special birthday, I wanted to pay tribute to the Roman composer making a series of videos and revisiting, in my own way, some of the musical moments of his long and prolific career.
Here it is a sample from a 10 videos playlist with some of Morricone's famous film themes: a special piano arrangement versions. #Morricone90 Video: A New Love Affair (Piano & Orchestra) A romance, love theme, typical for a film love scene. A piano solo idea that develops in a crescendo orchestra. Where does music inspiration come from? Music inspiration is something magic, mysterious and always fascinating. Any artist has his/her source of inspiration. In this video you may see an example. Arthur Rubinstein diceva: “Di tutti gli strumenti, quello che corrisponde meglio all’ufficio di amico è il pianoforte. Per questo io considero il suo insegnamento un gran beneficio per l’umanità, e non sarei contrario a renderne lo studio obbligatorio, considerandolo come intimo conforto dello scolaro e non tanto come mezzo di vanto personale.”
