An Italian soundtrack before its time. Felicitous musical illustrations are drawn either through simple onomatopoeia, by means of environmental word-painting (such as the bells in the finale of "La Badia"), or by recreating an expressive climate relative to the plot. Compositional cohesion is achieved through the cyclical nature of the musical structure, with its recurring themes, and also through Veneziani's remarkably skillful orchestration. This excellence is maintained in Giordano Tunioli's reduced version of the original score for chamber ensemble. Such are the results of a craft, which Veneziani assimilated well and which in successive years would extend to some ventures in the field of opera.
