The Borghese Gallery now has its LogoSound. From its vibratory identity a musical work

On Tuesday, June 21 at 9 p.m., the Borghese Gallery will broadcast live on its Facebook channel the musical work VIBR.ID.(Vibratory Identity) that the museum itself commissioned from internationally renowned composer Federico Longo. The Borghese Gallery thus now has its own LogoSound. For a long period Longo listened to the rooms, starting from silence to try to capture their vibrations, voice and expressive potential; this listening led the composer to identify what he called the"vibratory identity" of the Gallery.

Out of this experience came amusical work in six pictures for piano, clarinet, saxophone, cello and mixed choir, which will be performed by a quartet of great artists from the international music scene: Ukrainian pianist, Anna Fedorova, first clarinet soloist of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia Alessandro Carbonare, first cello soloist of the Teatro alla Scala in Milan Sandro Laffranchini and saxophonist Federico Mondelci. Maria Grazia Fontana’s vocal ensemble Sat&B will also be featured.

Longo’s musical work was inspired fundamentally by four principles: Harmony, Oneness, Essentiality of Forms and Beauty.

The composition intends to have an indissoluble relationship with the spaces for which it was conceived and in which it is to be performed and heard, and it intends to restore an ancient vocation, which is that of commissioning contemporary music, which was already of Cardinal Scipione Borghese, to whom the villa and the collection are owed. Indeed, the latter loved to surround himself with art in all its forms, including music.
