Quattro e quattr’otto

per clarinetto o clarinetto basso solo

This collection includes some of my original compositions for unaccompanied clarinet and bass clarinet.

These musical pieces were originally composed and recorded in the last ten years with formations from solo to nonet and appeared on the albums Godiva soleva (Mons Records, 2011), Orgelwind (CD Baby, 2015), L’occhio della betulla (UNIT Records, 2017) and La Stüa (UNIT Records, 2017).

CHF 36 per copy (free shipping within Switzerland)

Marco Santilli Songbook Volume 1

for C-instruments

This collection contains some of my compositions recorded over the past ten years.

The pieces have been taken from the albums Godiva soleva (Mons Records, 2011), Orgelwind (CD Baby, 2015), L’occhio della betulla (UNIT Records, 2017) and La Stüa (UNIT Records, 2017). There are also four original Christmas songs, released in 2019.

The score writing is in the style of the “Real Book“. While the recordings remain a good point of reference, the scores do not reproduce (except for rare exceptions) any arrangements, but intend to provide the musician with a structure on which to improvise and develop his musical narrations. The metronome indications are not binding.

„Ein Wechsel in den Führungsrängen der SBV? Wenn schon, dann richtig!“

Luana Menoud-Baldi erachte ich als die perfekte Besetzung für den Posten als Präsidentin der SBV Verbandsleitung. Nebst ihrer langjährigen Erfahrung als Vizepräsidentin einer Musikgesellschaft und des Tessiner Kantonalmusikverbands, als Ressortleiterin Marketing der SBV Verbandsleitung, ihrem Know-how in Organisation, Projektleitung, Management, bringt Sie auch das Verständnis für das Füreinander und das Geschick beim Aufbau einer wertschätzenden Kultur mit. Fairness gilt für sie als Grundprinzip. Sie wird den Verband stärken und weiterentwickeln.

Ich kenne Luana sehr gut und spreche aus Erfahrung. Sie verfügt über das handwerkliche Rüstzeug der theoretischen und praktischen Musik, besitzt den Enthusiasmus der ambitionierten MusikantInnen und bringt gleichzeitig die Fähigkeit, der Bedürfnisse künstlerischer Natur von Profi-MusikerInnen nachzukommen.

Als eine der wenigen SchweizerInnen, spricht Luana unsere Landessprachen und kann sich mit Mitgliedern/Partnern des kompletten SBV-Gebiets gleichberechtigt austauschen und Brücken über Sprachbarrieren bauen. Sie ist kommunikativ, empathisch und verhandlungssicher.

Es würde mich ausserordentlich freuen, Luana Menoud-Baldi als Präsidentin des Schweizer Blasmusikverbandes tätig zu sehen.

Occasionally I have the opportunity to pay tribute to my childhood idols. Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Barney Bigard, Jimmie Noone … are my musical “grandparents”. Thanks to them, I have chosen this versatile instrument. Performing their music with a Big Band is always a priceless gift, it means remembering where you come from. Listen to “Sing, Sing, Sing” (Louis Prima) with the Karaganda Big Band, Kazakhstan. 

Occasionalmente ho la possibilità di rendere tributo ai miei idoli di infanzia. Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Barney Bigard, Jimmie Noone… sono i miei “nonni” musicali. Grazie a loro, la fortuna di avere scelto questo versatile instrumento. Eseguire la loro musica con una Big Band è sempre un regalo impagabile, è ricordarsi da dove si viene. Eccomi qui in “Sing, Sing, Sing” (Louis Prima) con la Karaganda Big Band, Kazakistan.
