Augusto Camponeschi, Maria Dongellini Selmi - Arpe nel sole (2023)

Originally released in 1972 on the obscure Italian label Canopo, "Arpe nel sole" is a refined exploration of the harp's capabilities within the context of Library Music. A collaboration between composer Augusto Camponeschi and harpist Maria Dongellini Selmi, the album was designed for use in film, radio, and television as background accompaniment for idyllic or contemplative scenes. Musically, the album balances between modern classical, impressionism, and subtle avant-garde. The 2023 reissue by Far Out Library restores this archival artifact to cultural relevance, highlighting the significance of the Italian school of applied music, which in the 1970s actively experimented with sonic textures and moods.
