Fontane di Roma

Fontane di Roma is the first suite from Respighi’s Roman Trilogy. In this suite the fountains of Rome are musically depicted. La Fontana di Valle Giullia all’alba is a musical image of these fountains during sunrise. In La fontana di Tritone al Mattino we can here the sharp light of the sun in the morning. In In La Fontana di Trevi al Meriggio the brass fanfare refers to the power of the Trevi fontain and La Fontana di Villa Medici al Tramonto describes this humble fountain during sunset.
