K-array breathes new life into hidden masterpiece from Ennio Morricone and Pier Paolo Pasolini

The moment in which Ennio Morricone’s music intertwines with the words of Pier Paolo Pasolini, performed live for the first time by an orchestra at Teatro Verdi in Florence, Italy, is captured in the new documentary “Musica per una fine”. A special project by audio technologies manufacturer K-array, curated by We Rad, the documentary is now available online with free access.

Conceived by Andrea Torelli of K-array and Anna Leonardi of music publishing house SZ Sugar in a meeting of minds, the documentary recounts the story of this project and goes behind-the-scenes of the first live performance of the choral and orchestral version of the piece. A journey through art, sound, and memory, the composition is performed by the musicians of the Orchestra della Toscana and the voices of the Harmonia Cantata Choir, conducted by Raffaele Puccianti, live at the Teatro Verdi in Florence.

The documentary is the first episode in the “Beyond Sound Towards Meaning” series, a cultural sharing program which invites audiences to rediscover sound as a universal language. The series will explore the role of sound as meaning, delving into the artistic and ethical values of works while technology remains invisible. K-array restored the essence of Morricone’s work and the value of Pasolini’s text, allowing people to fully experience their important cultural legacy.

“When we were given the opportunity to take part in this project, we immediately felt deeply moved by what it represents”, says Andrea Torelli, Marketing Director at K-array. “We soon realized that it was not at all distant from the context in which we work every day - it touched us profoundly. Faced with such an important artistic message, we could act as the medium through which this work might reach a new audience. The ‘end’ referenced in the title should not be understood solely in a negative sense, as the end of what unites us today amid many conflicts, but as an appeal for a necessary new beginning, through the language of culture - which is not a luxury, but a right and a responsibility.”

The composition by Morricone is structured as a score for a mixed four-part choir and orchestra, combined with a tape recording of a text by Pasolini taken from his poem “Gli italiani”. The piece originally appeared in the end credits of the soundtrack composed by Morricone for the film “Pasolini, un delitto italiano” by Marco Tullio Giordana (1995). It was Morricone himself who extracted this segment, which then went on to live a life of its own.
