The Glory Of Sardinia by Tierolff published on 2022-05-30T11:43:18Z Composer: Harry Richards. Sardinia is a beautiful island with a rich history and an ancient culture, and was the origin of an important and original civilization in the Mediterranean Sea region: the Nuragic civilization. For centuries the people of the island were attacked by barbarians. After that they were submitted to a sequence of foreign rulers: Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Pisans and Spanish people. This history is the foundation of the composition "The Glory of Sardinia". Fascinated by Sardinia, the composer wrote a piece full of contrasts in which power, serenity, courage and admiration are to be found. Similar to the Sardinian flag, with four moor’s heads, this composition consists of four parts: 1) Dominant events; 2) Admiration for the beauty of the country; 3) Sardinian courage; 4) Belief in the future. This composition is dedicated to Salvatore Belfiori and Lorenzo Pusceddu. Genre Concert Music
