With Ottorino Respighi (1879-1936) there is a strong and overwhelming “popular” taste in his production imbued with a colourful language that is manipulated and changed depending on the result that has to be achieved.
Thus Respighi was the spokesman of a modernistic conception of music, borrowing popular raw sonorities, clashes of dissonant sounds and all the “rules” of folkloric tradition.
This is Respighi's genius, a genius based on the desire to go in depth in every direction, using his own experience as a transcriber and scholar of ancient music in a style closer to the clear and incisive Italian tradition.

 Respighi - The Pines of Rome
Ottorino Respighi is credited with being the first Italian composer in that period to achieve both fame and popularity for purely orchestral works.
Respighi was also interested in preserving renaissance and medieval musical traditions, and at the same time Fountains was published he completed the first of what would eventually be three suites based on airs for lute, which he orchestrated for piano and strings (Antiche arie de danze per liuto, Ancient Airs and Dances for Lute).
Indeed, Respighi was so specific in what he intended that he published descriptions of the settings he envisioned for each movement at the beginning of the score.

OTTORINO RESPIGHI (left) was born in Bologna in 1879 and died in Rome in 1936 - music history's most violent period of change.
Respighi is most well-known for his tone poems, including the garish and noisy Roman Festivals, with its companion pieces Pines of Rome and Fountains of Rome.
Respighi's three suites of Ancient Airs and Dances are modern orchestral arrangements (Naxos 8.553546) of early Baroque dance suites for lute, representing the work he did in reviving interest in Early Music, of which Italy had a long and rich tradition.

Respighi was a reserved and musically talented youth who began studying the violin at the age of eight and composition at thirteen.
Respighi soon became fluent in Russian, as he did later in many other languages, and spent some five months studying composition and orchestration with the famous Russian composer, Rimsky-Korsakov, who rapidly recognized the young Italian's gifts and taught him mostly by offering him suggestions as needed.
Respighi employs several archaic forms and devices: madrigals ("Contenti ne andremo"), Monteverdi-like arioso ("Seignor tu sei descieso"), some plainchant, and even a touch of fugue in the "Gloria" section.

 OTTORINO RESPIGHI   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Ottorino Respighi is not a name that is remembered as well.
Respighi takes anything that is useful in European music from the end of the nineteenth century to create an Italian instrumental genre, the Russian symphonic nature, the Austro-German constructiveness, the colouristic orchestral ability of the French.
Respighi was to be very appreciated by the Regime because his works was interpreted in terms of nationalism (though it was not nationalistic), this ended up hurting him later in the judgement of his music.

 The Pines of Rome (by Ottorino Respighi)
Ottorino Respighi (1879-1936) was born in Bologna and studied violin at its conservatorio.
When Respighi wrote his poem the area was almost out of town and the musical theme has pastoral suggestions (I do discourage going there at dawn today).
The second theme is in sharp contrast with the first, Respighi abandons the joyful sounds of the children playing and moves to the pines next to a catacomb.

 November Classical -- Program Notes - Ottorino Respighi
Respighi's symphonic works are praised primarily for their exquisite orchestration, but these compositions also possess a charm that transcends the merely picturesque.
Respighi arrived in Rome in 1913, when it was becoming Italy's most vigorous center of orchestral concert-giving, thus providing stimulation for Fontane di Roma.
The fountains about which Respighi wrote, as well as many others in the area, were actually created in the Baroque style in the seventeenth century by the sculptor Betrnini.
