"La Torre di Babele"

At the beginning of 60's Giovanna Marini meets a group of intellectuals as Pier Paolo Pasolini and Italo Calvino so she discovers the social song and the sung oral history. Since then she continues the collection of songs of oral tradition and their study and transcription, inventing for this purpose a system of musical notation. Such job of transcription and then of arrangement allowed her to transport the memory sung on the stage.
The Vocal Quartet participate to the theatrical show Urlo from Pippo Delbono, and performed the cantata La torre di Babele at Festival of Avignon. With the most recent "Cantata per Aquileia" the Vocal Quartet has played last August to the Mittelfest of Moni Ovadia.
