Pastorale is the reminiscence of my journey to a small mountain village. Far from city noises I spent wonderful times there among strangely-shaped green stone blocks, wildflowers, and making musical sounds waterfalls. Little houses were built close to the gulch where a light morning breeze created songs, each time new and unrepeatable. Listening to all-embracing breath of nature, smelling a perfume of herbs and fresh air, looking to the sourrounded horizon I was speechless and truly fascinated. Pastorale is my musical impression of my feelings.
