Marcel Barsotti - Americana (2021)

AMERICANA is a large, orchestral and symphonic cycle for orchestra and choir by the Swiss film composer Marcel Barsotti. AMERICANA, consisting of 12 works, is a blockbuster journey through American history, starting with the beginnings of the Spanish and English conquerors up to the colonization of the American West. AMERICANA awakens the sounds of the wild west and the cowboys, the suffering of the American Civil War, the great fast-paced Hollywood music and the American, elegiac blues of the African-American population. AMERICANA tells musically, with speed, grandeur and pride, the beauty of the North American continent – the mighty valleys, prairies, forests, mountains, and the American dream for infinite freedom.
