Composer’s Vision
"My aim was to write a melody with a timeless quality - one that would sound equally beautiful whether played by an instrument or sung by a voice. There was a hymn-like simplicity that reminded me of English sacred music, but when I set the lyrics in Italian, they fell naturally into place. That meeting of English and Italian influence really reflects my own mixed heritage."
Artistic Fusion
D'Andrea’s work shows a unique fusion of English hymn traditions and Italian lyricism, highlighting his dual cultural background and creating a melody with enduring appeal.
