Oneira – after the Greek [όνειρα], “dreams” – is the first album of our duo. This title aims at evoking, first and foremost, the content of the project itself. It refers to the atmospheres that composer Michele Mangani is able to constantly evoke, powerfully and with melodic inventiveness, in all of his works.
Mangani is one of the best-known composers in the literature for clarinet. He makes the spirit his own, according to which one aims firstly at emotionally involving the listeners, be they specialists or not. He employs melodies with an intense evocative charge, and, at the same time, free from the rhetorics found frequently in the contemporary repertoire. Oneira is therefore a project which not only embraces a primary poetics of today’s music. It also does not fail to explore, through the music it proposes, the clarinet’s timbral and technical idiosyncrasies. The clarinet is supported by the twofold nature – percussive, and, at the same time, melodic – of the piano.
In these pieces, the vocality and the virtuosity of the wind instrument merge with the suggestive piano harmonies; this consolidates a perfect union which has always belonged to these two instruments starting with the nineteenth-century repertoire.
This style, therefore, is characterized by a polished simplicity, always elegant and in quest of a constant refinement. Whilst this, one the one hand, certainly satisfies the most immediate listening needs, it is on the other hand capable of highlighting the melody’s communicative power. It stands out over everything, as a dominating principle and as the instrument for communicating a musical message. It is easy, therefore, to understand that also the choice of the compositional structure – almost always in the traditional scheme A-B-A – is studied precisely with the purpose of instilling in the listener a sense of circularity and regularity, typical for a timeless musical scope.
