"I 5 ELEMENTI" by Alessandro Quarta is a new musical work composed and performed by the violinist, drawing inspiration from the five elements of ancient tradition: Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Ether, preceded by the introductory track "The Creation." Quarta describes the work as a profound personal experience, a sort of "musical scream" encompassing joy, pain, strength, and fragility. Each element has its own musical identity, with a precise tonality and emotional narrative. Earth: represented as an old lady, narrated with melancholy and calm (C minor). Water: inspired by Otranto and the Mediterranean, it is born from a drop in the desert and becomes a stormy sea (E-flat major). Air: is breath, movement, and lightness, invisible yet vital (E minor, G major, B major). Fire: originates from Eros (A minor), but evolves into destructive and demonic fire (D minor). Ether: the spiritual and universal element, begins softly (D-flat major) but transforms into an intense storm (A minor, Dies Irae), concluding with the Light of Forgiveness (D major), a symbol of hope and rebirth. The work is an intense musical journey, between light and darkness, life and destruction, beauty and danger. Quarta invites the listener to a profound reflection on human responsibility towards nature and its elements, emphasizing their essential yet potentially destructive nature. With her music, the artist breaks down every barrier, moving and shaking the soul, leaving a profound and personal mark on the listener.
