Paolo, Brazil, in 1897, to Italian emigrant parents, but at the age of two, he was entrusted to his maternal grandmother in Vicenza. At nine, he was taken to the \"L. Configliachi\" Institute for the Blind in Padua, where he remained until 1914, also receiving his first musical education (Harmony and Organ) under the guidance of Luigi Bottazzo.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1941, prompted by the insistence of friends, he suddenly tackled, in a single session, the Fuga and Composition exams at the \"Pollini\" in Padua, passing them splendidly and with extreme ease. These were important achievements, but they lacked practical consequences, nullified as they were by his reserved character and a fatally integral pessimism (certainly not attenuated by the heavy wartime atmosphere), which conditioned not only the success of his works but even their simple recognition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe had chosen to live almost always in Vicenza, a city to which he was bound by nostalgia and affection, and there, after the war, the rest of his life unfolded: a long wait, a dignified and conscious approach towards the great silence. Thus, in April 1967, his human voice fell silent, while that of song had already died many years earlier.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf Almerigo Girotto's life had a normal duration, his creative season, which took place roughly between 1925 and 1940, was very brief: a slow maturation, therefore, (which, if characteristic of many artists, in him is explained by the conditions of his life) followed by complete renunciation (and this is explained by his psychology).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAmong the many enthusiastic opinions offered by his contemporary critics, we symbolically report here what Franco Abbiati wrote in the Corriere della Sera, the day after the concert held by illustrious performers at the Angelicum in 1947 (the year in which Girotto was also presented at the Venetian Festival of Contemporary Music): \"his works for voice, for violin, for piano show a spiritual maturity and a constructive logic worthy of the best modern composers. Their content is often dramatic, their language often harsh and violent, their texture thins to chaste, slender, sweetly lyrical expressions…\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConsiderations on A. Girotto's Lyrics for Voice and Piano\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat is truly remarkable in Almerigo Girotto's compositions, and in particular in his lyrics, is the admirable combination of tradition and modernity, respectful classicism and highly personal originality, solid compositional technique and fresh melodic spontaneity, which effectively conveys the popular character of the Veronese dialect texts he set to music.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile maintaining a solid tonal framework, Girotto elegantly and effortlessly handles dense and dissonant harmonic combinations, sometimes distinctly polytonal, and employs varied, interesting, and appropriate rhythmic formulas and timbral effects.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eListen\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border-radius: 20px; border-color: white;\" width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/velutluna.lnk.to\/Liriche-da-camera-per-voce-e-pianoforte\" height=\"370\" border=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/velut-luna\"\u003eVelut Luna\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Velut Luna","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50002529321307,"sku":"CVLD281CD","price":18.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"File Hi-Res 88.2kHz · 24bit WAV","offer_id":49917556752731,"sku":"CVLD281","price":18.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/1016\/6580\/files\/281-cover.jpg?v=1737224121"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.referencemusicstore.com\/collections\/neri-pozza.oembed","provider":"Reference Music Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
