GAMBELIN L'incantesimo del profumo del legno

score available here: https://christian-elin.de/en/produkte/ Christian Elin, bass clarinet & composition https://www.christian-elin.de Lucile Boulanger, lira da gamba & viola da gamba https://www.lucileboulanger.com The idea for "The magic of the smell of wood" arose on a walk in the forest: I love smelling freshly cut wood, so the question arose whether it is possible to capture this magic odour in music? The instrumental protagonist of this composition is the lira da gamba or lirone, an historical string instrument with 13 strings that originated in Italy at the beginning of the 16th century and which allows rich playing of chords due to its flat bridge.
