Program notes:

“IncrescenDOverture” is an original composition for wind band that came about as a result of a special encounter: that between the composer and the “InCrescenDO” youth wind orchestra, led by Fabio Porte. The occasion was the 19th edition of the “Flicorno d’Oro” international competition in April 2017, where the young Piedmontese ensemble - whose members hail from Valchiusella, Valle Sacra and Canavese - triumphed in their category by performing the set piece “Rubus Adventure” composed by Luca Pettinato. Impressed by their impeccable and refined performance, the composer decided to dedicate a new piece to the group and their extraordinary journey of musical development.

The composition is based on the melodies of the “Canzone del Carnevale” (see below), the official anthem of the famous and historic Ivrea Carnival, written in 1858 by Ferdinando Bosio and set to music by Lorenzo Olivieri and Angelo Burbatti. This theme carries with it the strong symbolic value of Italy’s oldest civic festival, linked to the legend of the “Vezzosa Mugnaia” and the popular uprising against tyranny.

From a stylistic point of view, the composer chose to avoid the descriptive form of the symphonic poem, preferring to focus on the very name of the group to whom the work is dedicated and distancing himself from the overabundance of descriptive music typical of the band repertoire.
