Pines of Rome

the Pines of Rome ( I Pini di Roma ) is a Symphonic poem composed in 1924 by Ottorino Respighi.

Like the Fountains of Rome , made up work in 1916, it is divided into four parts evoking various places and atmospheres of the city and its surroundings:

  • I pini beyond Villa Borghese , illustrating rounds and sets of children, in the gardens of the Villa Borghèse,
  • Pini presso una catacomba , crescendo and decrescendo of a melody melancholic person, resulting from the Catacombs,
  • Pini del Gianicolo , the night on the Janicule, the rustle of the branches and the song of a Nightingale (recording on disc or magnetic band),
  • I pini beyond Via Appia , on the paving stones of the Way Appienne, an initially remote walk, approaches and of the triumphing armies ravel towards the Capitole.

Respighi composed in 1928, a third symphonic poem evoking Rome, Roman Fêtes .

This work was illustrated by Disney in cartoon film Fantasia 2000.
