Una forma bellissima was conceived as a creative and collaborative musical experience with the choir of the Ascoltando i Bambini school and Maestro Bernardo Maria Sannino, its vocal coach and pianist. The girls and boys of the choir took part in every stage of the compositional process: the text itself emerged from their answers to the question “Think about nature: what do you like most, and what would you like to take care of?”

Many of the sonic ideas were also inspired and suggested directly by them. The graphic layout of the score recalls the appearance of “scattered notes,” thus conveying an extemporaneous, gestural, and playful dimension. Una forma bellissima is therefore an invitation to experience musical practice as a space for pure self-expression and as an opportunity for reflection and shared participation.
