Works

Francesco Boschetto
Trasumanar
(1985)
for Violin and Tape

This composition is dedicated to Pier Paolo Pasolini, poet, writer, movie maker and painter. I did not write this as a hommage to the man, but in recognition of the influence his work has had on my music. His assasination, his martyrdom took place on the outskirts of Rome by the sea and would probably have struck him as something out of one of his own films. A film by Nanni Moretti brings back that place and time for me.
The work is divided into four short movements. The title is a word borrowed from Dante (Trasumana e Organizar is his last series of poems) that Pasolini used to describe the human condition: To transcend the human dimension, to grasp a spiritual object and give it substance.
