Danza Macabra

As main leitmotif I used the most famous Schiarazula Marazula; I rearranged it in various ways. I wanted to join it to a typical mediaeval iconographic theme: Danse Macabre, the dance between men and skeletons. Maybe it is the most famous and rustless memento mori that History handed us down. Its largest diffusion was caused by the terrible hecatomb of the Black Death in 1348. The plague killed 50% of Europe population.

Dies Irae

Another letimotif that I played in this cd (moreover i used it in some my previous works) is the most famous Dies Irae composed by Thomas of Celano in the thirteenth century.
