In May 2022, at the age of 88,
Christian Wolff
performed once again at AngelicA, nine years after the monographic concerts the festival had dedicated to him in 2013, which was documented on the CD album
Angelica Music
, (ANGELICA 030CD, 2020). Among the greatest and most singular living composers, for the opening of the thirty-second edition of the festival he presented a world-exclusive program, alongside two of his long-time collaborators, the percussionist
Robyn Schulkowsky
and the drummer
Joey Baron
, and an
Angelica orchestrA
of seven electric guitars, made up for the occasion around students and teachers of the Conservatory "G.B. Martini" of Bologna led by
Walter Zanetti
. Spanning over 58 years of the composer's production, the program offered on May 7th revolved around
Sveglia
, a new composition for seven electric guitars commissioned as a world premiere by the festival. Renowned up to that point as a pianist, it was apparently Wolff's interest for several rock bands of the time who pushed him to buy an electric guitar in the mid-'60s, and the first of his compositions to incorporate this instrument were the three
Electric Spring
of 1966-67. In the 2000s he also composed three pieces for solo guitar (two of which were recorded by
Sergio Sorrentino
, guest of Angelica orchestrA at this time), but he had never composed for an ensemble of guitars only, as on this occasion. Largely completely notated, but with a series of compositional features left open (i.e. no specification of tempi, dynamics and spacing of musical elements),
Sveglia
also includes short quotations from other compositions (
Bach
's
Brandenburg Concertos n. 3
and
6
, and a motet by
Gombert
), "that need not necessarily be noticed." The other piece composed specifically for the concert in Bologna (and for one held later in New York, at the space for experimental music from which it took its title) is
Roulette
, performed by Wolff with Schulkowsky and Baron.
