Corciolli blends traditional orchestral instruments and piano with synthesized backgrounds to create his romantic neo-classical offerings. “A Noite de Meu Bem” features a lovely violin melody. “Mono No Aware” and “Solace” are in the adult contemporary jazz genre. Violin, piano, and a wordless soprano voice take the lead in “Melodia Sentimental”, a song that has roots in the operatic musical idiom.
“Spiral” shifts toward electronica with distinctive world drumming rhythms and synth stylings. “Interdemensional” partakes of the space-ambient genre with otherworldly synth effects providing an accompaniment to wordless vocal tracks. “Lacrimae” features an eastern-style bowed string instrument to give an east-west fusion flavor to the song. “San Telmo” is a Latino-rhythm dance piece with dramatic Gypsy-style fiddling.
No matter what style or genre Corciolli infuses into his compositions, his characteristic style of melody-driven composition shines through the texture.
This album is great for easy-listening, fire-dancing, and for celebrations. Listeners will enjoy the upbeat harmonies and instrumental textures and the variety of stylistic genres incorporated into the songs.
