Paolo Terni has passed away
I have known Paolo Terni's voice since I was young; he has accompanied me on the frequencies of Radio Tre always, and I am immensely grateful to him for it.
Goodbye, dear Friend!
Motivi Conduttori (Conducting Motifs)
Music thinks, inhabits, and shapes our thought.
Music is sound. Sound signifies, moves, captures the senses.
Music is voice and song: it nourishes itself with words, languages, tongues, texts. It is consubstantial to them.
Music is time, rhythm, dance.
With music, in music, harmony takes shape. And, in harmony, melody.
Music, harmony of the world, "lyre of the sky," "melody of the universe" with which it merges.
Music, like a sphinx, unravels its myth, proceeds into the mystery of its own labyrinth, elaborates enigmas, proposes questions without answers.
Implacable music breathes within us from the secrets of our listening. It radiates, ineffable, its way of speaking. It sings its silent reasons.
Music inhabits the welcoming silence of the infinite.
