Real folk singing is above all a representation of an inner world,”
writes the great musician and musicologist Roberto de Simone in his work
“La Tradizione in Campania”. The words of the songs present a stark
contrast to the beautiful melodies. The light and soothing tones conceal
hurt feelings, anger and disappointment, as well as unquenchable
desires, forlornness in the face of one’s own passion and the wish to be
swallowed up within this very passion. Letizia Fiorenza and David
Sautter have been researching and working with the richness of the folk
music heritage of southern Italy for the past 18 years and these songs
have had a place in their hearts since the beginning of their musical
collaboration. The songs are a reflection of their own feelings and
desires and lend an audible form to their inner emotions. The phrase
“Imagine del cuor”, according to Michelangelo, refers to a picture in
one’s heart that is given expression through music. The music by
Domenico Scarlatti, originally composed for the harpsichord, as well as
guitar improvisations, supplement, connect and carry over the universal
elements of these old songs into the present.
