Piccioni, Piero
La Notte Brava
For the absolute first time on complete edition CD, we are releasing the OST by Piero Piccioni for the drama "The Big
Night" (aka "Bad Girls Dont Cry," original title "La Notte Brava"). Piero Piccioni (Turin, December 6, 1921 - Rome, July
23, 2004) wrote and directed this score where jazz and blues create the right atmosphere for the young protagonists of
the story. Originally, not a single note was released from this prestigious soundtrack. Our CD, lasting a total of 70:27
minutes, was possible thanks to the mono master tapes from the original recording session.
Maestro Piccioni composed a recurring main score which is introduced in the opening credits (Tr.1) and reprised in
different versions: slow for bassoons (Tr.4), with horns (Tr.5), a fast swing (Tr.17) and with the addition of female
voices (Tr.21). Piero Piccioni alternates this with numerous dance melodies like the mambo (Tr.2, Tr.12, Tr.26),
rocknroll (Tr.3), swing (Tr.7), tango (Tr.20, Tr. 25) and the song with a female voice, "Hello you," (Tr.9, Tr.24) which
is reprised in an instrumental version (Tr.18, Tr.29). The inner side of the main characters is emphasized by very
evocative passages like in Tr.14, Tr.15, Tr.19. This album is another masterpiece by Piero Piccioni which has finally
been recovered and preserved on CD forever.
