Per Aspera Ad Astra

The Divine Comedy is a classic that interweaves interviews with readers based on emotions, reasoning and the existential questions that man has always sought. It is a text to be read and re-read, always new, offering continuous stimuli to research,rich food for thought, open to unpredictable outcomes.

Dante structures the poem as a journey that becomes a metaphor for an existential, moral and religious path that can save the individual man and the whole of mandkind.

Like Odysseus, after much wandering, he finds his Penelope and his Ithaca, so Dante, towards the end of the journey finds his Beatrice, and the ultimate meaning of life in God's saving dimension.

The musical project born from the idea of translating the places and times of the Divine Comedy, the poem that has become the metaphor of the existential journey in space and time always present for the human soul, through which the listener can find her inner vibrations always present and listen to himself and the world.

The Comedy speaks of man, life, and does so with the power and communication skills of its genius of Dante. If everyone is affected by the kind words of Francesca, the fortitude of Farinata and his desire to "do well", by the ardor of knowledge of Ulysses it is because the poet tells stories that bear witness to the human heart in every age . The Comedy it opens a window on life and man of today, as of the past. We feel a universal communion among us modern and the ancient, between our and their aspirations for salvation, happiness and eternity. We realize that the old Dante knows express ourselves better than we do ourselves, as well as the master Virgil in the journey to understand the disciple knows better than they do know.

The whole trip is the journey in the life of every man. In Dante who want to climb the hill to light only at the beginning of Hell, we all find ourselves.

That's why the song offered are an interesting selection of works by contemporary musicians who have looked at the human events of their time describing them in their own environments whitch construct the harmony and the melodic lines of the man of our time.

A thread of connection between past and present, between historical memory and experience, with a thin plot that interweaves Dante's narrative in a kind of strong bond due to the presence of "chromosomal lineage" between Dante and us, between the "Comedy" which is a perennial tale that every mind recreates along the time has a transcendental and universal connotation.

The compositional arc certainly does not represent the whole evolution of the compositional cycle of our days but offers an interesting insight into the linguistic expressive that tries to offer a glimpse in the compositions represented here, the strong reference between "what was been and what is" the human soul, in a perpetual connection between his individuality and his sensibility.
