Songs from the album Dreaming of Fanes – SNIPPETS:
Ganes de Fanes (The nymphs of Fanes)
Nosc amor (Our love)
The mythic tale of Fanes sung by Susy Rottonara’ s soprano
voice as the soul of the Dolomites mountains,
where music is not just to be heard but also
to be “seen” in an endless dream.
In the album the original music is
sung and played by the author herself on
the keyboard with special sound effects.
A fulfilled and at the same time an endless
dream is the focus of the album Dreaming of Fanes,
that contains the Musical Poem Fanes and the
multi-award winning music of the film Le Rëgn de Fanes , both
describing the magic atmospheres of the legend
of the Reign of Fanes – the most
important inheritance in Ladin oral literature
(Ladin is the most ancient alpine language
yet spoken today) bound to the wild nature
of the Dolomites mountains, declared “world natural heritage”
by the UNESCO in 2009. Susy Rottonara dreams both
of telling the legend of the Reign of Fanes
and of being part of it, so that the music shows
the constant research of a particolar style bound
to the nature of the Dolomites
mountains as guardians of ancient myths, where the perception
of rhythm and sound is freed from conventional time and
finds in the dimension of dream its privileged reality.
The music of Fanes Poem Musical
The music of Fanes Poem Musical describes the
mythic tale of Fanes with an emphasized dramatic approach
underlined by archaic melodies in an experimental style,
where past and present, dream and reality are bound to the magic atmospheres of the legend.
