I caught the ball, "You know" - I said "that in a land of widespread awareness and choral music, you'd think that there are about 120 songs in Trentino and home of the Alpine folk song, there is a radio, a television broadcast, which has a space dedicated to this audience? Yet if we consider that each choir has around thirty singers, multiplied by 120, are nearly 4,000 potential listeners, not to mention wives, husbands, uncles, grandparents, etc? A nice result, no? ".
My friend said, "Eh! ... Mariano continues, it interests me, I think you have something more than just a suggestion, is not it? ".
replied, "... see my idea is very simple. I guess a transmission divided into two parts, first part suggests that listeners to hear from the voice of the architects of the choral Trentino, their opinions, interviewing the masters of the songs or their presidents, giving them the opportunity to promote and advertise their records or their concert events, in the second part propose groups and folk songs close to our cultural sensibilities, but from other countries, such as Russian folk songs, Latin American, Slavic, African, etc.. and here we can really indulge. What do you think? ".
Lucy looked at me, at first with a question face, and then I said - "... but as you do for the material, song lyrics, ... ? - I said - "Look, this is the least of the problems. To begin, we send a letter of invitation to a group of choruses of the most representative in Trentino, asking if interested, should send their material and broscure record describing the history and activities they perform. For international groups, if we start with the Russian choir, I have a lot of material I collected in my travels abroad ...".
And so it was, the 20 songs all respondents answered enthusiastically, sending the requested material on which I could start working, gradually contacting representatives of choirs, scheduling interviews and putting together the plot of the transmissions. It was so
the day of its debut, the program called "FOLK TRENTINO" debuted November 5, 1985, the opening song in the background was the song "It was evening, and narrated, in the words of Benedetto Emert, as the boys made their debut in '26 at Castello del Buonconsiglio, they travel the world the songs of the Trentino culture and beyond. While the ending was "Vostu you buy", both harmonized by Maestro Mascagni and drawn by 'then the last disk of the Sun Chorus "Montanaro, Sailor, Italian" (May 1983).
The cycle began with broadcasting the interview with Gianfranco Goio, director of the Coro Valsella and continued throughout the winter with the "Chorus Sas Maor", "Coro Castel Pergine", "Coro Croz Corona", "Coro Sasso Rosso" and so on, the second part, the section on international chorus was particularly dedicated to Russian choirs, such as "I Don Cossacks ", the chorus of Serge Jaroff; Ivan Rebroff executions, and known in the Guinness Book of World Records for his vocal range with well over four octaves, and recently passed away, the Red Army Ensemble, and so on.
The cycle was to end Feb. 26 '86. I developed the idea that it would be a nice thing to finish the interview with the Master par excellence, the dean of living and depository of all knowledge, from experience, what was the genesis of the popular song Alpine Silvio Pedrotti. I decided to contact him, for me it was a surprise to hear the other end a person available, serene, which I immediately said "Yes, when would it be?" I was not ready and I told him the first day I went for the head: "For me it's good enough for next Tuesday, at 10." Arrived, it was the 18/02/1986, the home of "Rainbow Radio" was in Via S. Martin and the appointment could only be at the Bar the Quarry "historic meeting point of the city. Arrived in the newsroom, he said: "I heard the opening theme song we have a ...", then it meant that at least one transmission had heard and what pleased me, but I knew also that he had not heard it all because otherwise he would have said that both the abbreviations used in the songs of the choir sat.
Here you can hear an audio excerpt, as it developed the original interview, which in some respects, it also reveals little-known aspects, prior to the onset of the heart of the SAT in 1926.

Then from there I would not have imagined that one month, we will be revised I in As a vocalist and he's breeder of new entries in the chorus. Singing alongside a large, and that often is recognized only in retrospect, I was rather conscious of living an adventure that fortunately has been, and will always be in my heart as a source of pride. I lived close to a true master, whose school has enriched my artistic and cultural sensitivity, and following his simplicity and humility, teaching, from the source, traveling beyond the mere technicality of vocal in the chorus, and touched the strings that we raise the inner spirit.
Thanks Silvio.
