Discography
This is the CD that the European Region of the Scalabrinian Missionaries produced to mark the centenary of the death of the Blessed Founder. The title of this musical work is well suited to summarize the “dream” and mission of the Scalabrinian charism, themes present in each of the fourteen songs composed by Scalabrinian missionaries and lay people.
Una raccolta di canzoni tratte dall’omonimo spettacolo “Per Terre Lontane – Il Musical”, opera messa in scena dalla Compagnia Teatrale Scalabrini&Friends. A musical comedy in two acts that, through dance, dancing and acting, draws a picture of St. John Baptist Scalabrini, tracing his works and recalling the most important events of his time.
Friendly Voice is the title of this “multi-ethnic,” dense and sincere CD that, through fresh language, speaks to the hearts of all and especially to the hearts of young people. It opens this musical proposal with the song “It will not be enough” (first prize at Jubilmusic – International Christian Music Festival 2006), to the pop sounds of “My place” (second prize at Holymusic – International; Music for Prayer Festival 2007).
Migrants is a musical that tells the story of a Mexican family trying to enter the United States from Mexico, to fulfill that dream common to so many Latin American migrants. The main character is an American journalist who tries to pass himself off as one of the polleros, the migrant smugglers, and tries to convince this family to be guided by him.
Una “nuova” proposta musicale che celebra l’identità universale e missionaria della Chiesa. A work aimed, in a special way, at the missionary world: groups, movements, congregations and local churches engaged in this dimension. Thirteen hymns that follow the liturgy of the Mass, easy to perform and cared for in melody and text, for good involvement of the assembly.
It is a mini-CD collecting 6 songs. From the experience of meeting a trafficking victim comes “I Don’t Stop Hoping,” a hymn to forgiveness and the desire to begin again. “Migrate, voice of the verb hope” tells the story and dream of many migrants. Fr. Raffaele De Lorenzo’s celebration of a life spent for others travels to the notes of “Love Never Says Enough,” in two versions, both highly evocative. From the strange pairing of migration/food, the theme of an international competition, comes “As Long as You’re Hungry,” which sings of a common commitment to fight world hunger. “You Are Billions of Others,” the title song of the album, tells of the beauty of the encounter with Christ present in every human being, a theme that was the focus of several Scalamusic workshops held between 2011 and 2012.
After a year and a half of assiduous work, Scalamusic’s CD entitled “Frontiers” has been released. The new album contains the songs and music from the musical of the same name, which came about as the result of a series of art workshops involving some 20 young people from different ethnic backgrounds. This initiative was funded by the Region Blessed G. B. Scalabrini and by Roma Capitale. The songs in the musical, penned by Scalamusic composers and songwriters, tell sevenreal-life stories ofemigration experienced on the frontiers of our world. The arrangements were arranged by maestro Fabrizio Palma, who is also the composer of the musical’s original music.
L’esperienza maturata da Scalamusic in varie diocesi italiane, attraverso concerti e laboratori con i giovani, ha permesso di ideare dei percorsi formativi dedicati ai gruppi giovanili e sviluppati in più tappe, che si propongono specificatamente di formare al dialogo tra culture diverse, tenendo in conto le dinamiche psicologiche e sociali che si attivano in contesti multiculturali. Dopo una prima produzione in proprio, le Edizioni Paoline hanno realizzato il sussidio “Oltre ogni confine”, collegato a 15 brani scaricabili da iTunes.
Canzoni: Diventerò – A fior di pelle – La gabbia dei pensieri – Come un aquilone – Mi fido di te – Le scie degli aquiloni – Vivo tra due realtà – Io domani – Incontro di anime – I colori siamo noi – Fidati di te – Las Estrellas – Tu sei miliardi di altri – Non si può morire di speranza – Il mio posto.
