The Tre Preghiere (Three Prayers) are a cycle of compositions for organ, written on the invitation of Maestro Leonardo Ciampa, who performed the first two in Austria in July of 2008 and the third in Virginia (USA) in August of 2009.
Each preghiera is a meditation in music on a sacred Latin text, carried over to the score, and expressed in its inner meaning through allegorical figures that link musical motifs closely with parts of the text — thus rendering the contact between notes and words even more explicit. These allegorical figures are developed over the course of the music, making the specific moods of the prayer more expressive and intense.
