This is a very simple piece, and it?s lovely. The writing is clear and lyrical. Giancarlo speaks like he?s recalling his memory to himself.
The music that represents the lullaby is very pretty. My main complaint is I?d rather hear Giancarlo?s mother singing. I?d also like to know if the song is the same lullaby his mother sang. And?what do the lyrics mean? He could come back in over the music with one phrase perhaps, translating.
This short vignette would work well as a drop-in in a longer program, about family, sleep, nightmares, or memories, for example.
