PHOTO COMPOSIT

For the last 15 years Beppe has been also composing within the so-called "classical-crossover" field. Being a native of Busseto, in Parma County, Italy (the birthplace of opera king Giuseppe Verdi), this music genre is a very important part of his heritage and his first musical background. As a matter of fact it is because of his passion for this kind of music that he founded the MILLENNIUM CHOIR back in 1997. Even though the majority of the compositions that he composes for the choir feature a religious and/or inspirational lyrical content, Beppe has been also composing more "secular" themes and arias for solo tenor, and also for tenor and choir, inspired by and at the same time breaking ground within the "classical-crossover" genere with his own unique blend of opera and popular music flavors, clearly influenced by his songrwiter background of worldwide famous hit songs. Some of these arias are part of Beppe's concerts with the MILLENNIUM CHOIR as well as his own recitals where he likes to perform his new compositions while playing acoustic guitar or acoustic piano, and singing with his own style of "rock-and-soul-tenor." Beppe is in the process of finishing the recording and mastering of an album of such new arias featuring beautiful and poetic lyrics in Italian, his mother language. The name of the project is "RENAISSANCE MAN" and you can enjoy some audio samples as well as the original Italian lyrics with an instantaneous English translation from the upcoming CD and DVD only on this site. Good listening!!!
