The musical “A New Life” was born by chance, extemporizing on the piano 13 passages on the same rhythm. Then I imagined that there passages would be suitable for a musical and I built a story. It takes place in Milan where Antonio, a boy coming from Naples looking for a job, meets Fiammetta (it’s a love story) and a group of marginalized boys, disheartened up to the point that they want to organize a robbery in a bank (it’s a story of social bother). The last coral passages are an encouragement to faith (it’s also a religious story) and to believe in ourselves, as individuals and as part of a single human kind. I attach the demo versions in different languages (English, Spanish and Italian) and, for those who want to play it live, I make available the original bases in two versions of different mixing.
