The Profile The Life And The Faith Across The Notes 

Orchestra Accademia San Giovanni

Presents
A Journey Of Life Through Music

According to the Mayan calendar, December 21, 2012 is the date the world will come to an end. On this date, all the planets will align and cause unspeakable, catastrophic climactic conditions. Many believe that this will happen; many others in the scientific community say it will not.

To commemorate this date as the possible end of the time, a symphonic poem about life itself will be presented to celebrate peace, love, and goodwill towards mankind. The Profile, The Life And The Faith Across The Notes was written for piano, orchestra and chorus by Italian composer, Mario Iazzetti (1915-1986) in the classical tradition.

The symphony is performed in six parts, representing the six major phases of life, as conceived by the composer. It begins with a birth-day lullaby, representing the beginning of life. The second part represents early childhood "the boy on the bicycle." You will experience the carefree bike ride, pedaling away. The third part, "Sadness Of Love" reveals an emotional phase of life, where sometimes one can be deprived of the most important need in life, love. You will experience the beating-of- the-heart and the sweeping musical sounds of the stringed instruments which imitate the tears. "Joy Of Graduation" is the fourth phase of life. Our accomplishments can bring emotional feelings that we can conquer the world and can make us seem to fly; thus, "The Butterfly."

Part five of the symphony, and the fifth phase of life, is the most dramatic and longest part of the concert. It represents adulthood as we encounter all the trials, tribulations and the obstacles to success; thus, "The Tragic Reality Of Life." Also known as "La Tempesta," and the "War Concerto" as the composer conceived of this part during world war two. There are some spectacular crescendos which culminate and push the pianist to display not only artistic technique but maximum physical effort.

Part six, which represents the end of one's life, is performed with a religious tone; thus, "Ave Maria." The symphony was written for the largest of orchestras, with well over one hundred instruments to produce the sounds intended by the composer.

The symphony is to be performed on December 21, 2012, to coincide with these dire predictions. The symphony will also be performed prior to this date by the "Orchestra Accademia San Giovanni," Director Keith Goodman, featuring virtuoso pianist, Valentina Ambrosanio. The Orchestra's (/www.accademiasangiovanni.it) website will provide the event date for future performances.
