Emanuel Dimas de Melo Pimenta (b. 1957)
Partly autograph computer-printed virtual score signed of his opera DANTE, Rome 2008
'Virtual musical score' of this opera based on Dante's Divine Comedy.

Computer printed score with hand-painted additions in red, black and gold, two lines (quoting from Dante and Camóes) inscribed in autograph, one page, 400 x 300mm, on thick artist's paper, compser's stamp and paraph at lower right corner.

Provenance:
(1) Presented by the composer to Martin Schøyen, August 2014 (signed inscription on verso).

(2) Schøyen Collection, MS 5526.

In the accompanying document Pimenta describes this as the 'Virtual musical score for the concert performed (fragment)'. The work was first performed in Rome, September 2008. According to the composer's commentary: 'It is articulated on three movements and the integral piece is composed by 60 sectors of one minute each. Each minute is a circle of Dante's travel in the afterlife. Thus hell has 20 sections, purgatory 9 sections and paradise 31 sections. – Sounds performed by the musicians, voices, images, all of them no longer alive, turn the opera into a true trip in the afterlife, through our memories. All singers and actors in Dante are real personages, but already died, virtual ones'.

Published, with a further three parts, in: Virtual Notations 1980-2010. The music of Emanuel Dimas de Melo Pimenta, Charleston, 2014, pp 322-329.
