CRYING...
A collage of sorrowful children, set to the music of Pietro Mascagni. The pictures I used are not my own. I culled them from various websites and online photo galleries and worked them into this brief mood piece.
The music I used (the Intermezzo from Cavelleria Rusticana) underscores the themes and adult conflicts portrayed in Mascagni's opera. However, as a standalone piece, I feel that it evokes something fundamental in all of us---something profoundly sad, heartbreaking, going back to childhood.
Whenever I listen to this music, these are the images I see.
"When we are born, we cry that we are come
To this great stage of fools." (King Lear: IV, 6)
FOR DAD: A TRIBUTE...
A loving tribute to my dad, Maestro Theodore Gargiulo Sr., set to the music of his favorite composer: Giacomo Puccini.
