Choir and wind band
In 2016 I finally realized a dream I started to have many years ago: organize a collaboration between the concert band where I started to play many years ago and some choirs. In fact, choral music is the best, in my opinion, because it join voices and instruments. But it is just a my opinion of course.
However, after i got the ok to work on the project from the staff of the band, I started to contact choirs around our area. I admit I was very lucky, I didn't need to contact a lot of them, because after few emails sent, a couple of choir answered they were interested to join us in this project.
It is also tru I was looking for 3 choirs, to balance better the voices with the sound of instruments, but it was possible to find just 2 ensembles. At the end we had about 60 persons in the choirs and 35 persons in the band.
I list the name of associations envolved:
Gruppo Bandistico "Tita Michelas" - Fiumicello (UD) - Italy
Corale San Marco (Udine) - Italy
Coro di Castions delle Mura (UD)

At the end we had 4 concerts, it was a very nice experience

Hymn to the Fallen, a celebration of all people died during the First World War

To celebrate the anniversary of the end of First World War and to satisfy my desire to play in a concert with wind band and choirs, I wanted to try to organize something of interesting and to involve also some musicians from Austrian. It was a symbolic collaboration: during the war Italians and Austrians killed each others, now they paly and sing together. I understand this project was really ambitious, if we think that economic resourses for amateurs associations are not very much, especially here in Italy. After about 6 months and had asked to a lot of Austrian choirs, finally this choir accepted: https://www.unichor-graz.com/ Under construction

Music during religious celebrations nowadays

I really feel upset about how religious music has been changed since some years ago. When I was young and I went to church on Sunday, I really loved to listen to nice religious songs, they were simple but nice. Nowadays, something has been changed and to let young people to come close to the Church, religious celebrations have not  organ and Parrish choirs anymore but scout ore young guys makeshift choirs, with guitar and playing and singing silly pop songs, ok, with sacred text but in pop style. These songs are terrible, a musical disaster, and the performance are really bad too. I appreciate just the willingness of those guys, nothing else. It is good guys want to partecipate as they can, but I think they should decide to take some lessons of music and don't just sing as they can. Sacred music has got a long history and a great tradition, also in performances. A music well performed is great for our soul. I am not a professionist of music, of course, but I have studied many yea
