Each piece is concise, evocative, and purpose-built—reflecting the functional yet highly expressive nature of Italian library music at its peak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConceptually, the record is structured in two contrasting halves: the first side explores themes of optimism and resolution, while the second delves into darker, more introspective territories, mirroring the emotional duality suggested by its title (Tragedies and Hopes).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis release celebrates 100 years since the birth of Piero Umiliani, honoring the enduring legacy of a composer whose work continues to resonate across cinematic, library, and contemporary sample-driven music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e©℗ 1976, Liuto Edizioni Musicali \/ Licensed to Holy Basil Records by Liuto Edizioni Musicali\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr\u003eA1.
