Umbertide (PG) - Thursday, September 4th Festival of Nations makes a stop in Umbertide with music and
The Festival of Nations returns to make a stop in Umbertide. Thursday, September 4 at
18.30 at the Church of San Francesco tifernate the prestigious festival, now in its
47th edition and this year is dedicated to Armenia, propose the music concert
Healing from the fourteenth to the seventeenth century "Physician of the pain is for the men singing" with
Umbra Lucis and Virginia Pattie Kerovpyan (Armenian song).
The music has always been considered a remedy against the harshness of existence
and a soothing of some mental disorders. Its beneficial effect was irradiated
on the human, as the natural, with no differences of status, age, or gender, as
that its therapeutic power attivasse a pre-ontological dimension and the cultural,
as if it were a gift given to men expelled from the Garden of Eden. The figures
This mythical power exercised or have suffered are countless:
Apollo, physician and inventor of the music as well as the father of the god of medicine
Aesculapius, drives away evil by humans; King Saul is pulled away from the torments and
by melancholy, by the sound of the harp of David. The latter is the archetype
the saving power of music in the world Christianized; a power that the manuals
exorcists there turn out to be so pervasive as to be able to drive even the
devil. The program offered by Umbra Lucis want to give a testimonial
the therapeutic function of music through a compilation of songs of ages and
different contexts, which have exercised that function for centuries. Several will be the
examples of Armenian music, which testify to the deep integration of music
of that culture with the everyday social life, with the habits of life
religious and the effectiveness of a healing ritual dimension that has been passed down
orally for centuries. For information or www.festivalnazioni.com 075
