Ad unum (Concerto mov. 3)

In the world of classical music, few pieces manage to truly transcend the ordinary and touch the essence of what it means to be connected. “Ad unum,” the third movement of a concerto by Carlo Matti, does just that. With its roots firmly planted in the rich soil of romantic and profound musical traditions, the piece stands as a modern testament to the themes of unity, infinity, and the depths of silence.

Crafted in the key of F# minor, the strings in “Ad unum” command the stage, weaving a tapestry of sound that is at once energetic, meditative, and intensely romantic. Influenced by the towering figures of Morricone, Williams, Barber, and Mahler, Carlo Matti channels their spirit, creating a composition that speaks directly to the soul.

“Ad unum” is a narrative, unfolding in the space between notes, in the breaths taken by the musicians, and in the silence that envelops the audience. It is an exploration of the dance of life, of the erotic forces that drive us, and of the mysticism that surrounds us, culminating in a moment of cinematic grandeur.

Listeners are invited to experience “Ad unum” not as mere spectators but as participants in a journey through the vast landscapes of human emotion and connection.
Let the strings guide you through this exploration of sound and silence, energy and stillness, inviting you to discover the unity that binds us all.
