Lento is a composition for orchestra written by Howard Skempton in 1990. It was Skempton's third work for large forces, and his first major success.
The piece was commissioned by the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Skempton was to write a piece to be performed between the Prelude from Richard Wagner's Parsifal and a Deryck Cooke completion of Gustav Mahler's Tenth Symphony. Skempton initially set out to compose three short pieces to be played in sequence, but afterwards decided on a single large piece. Lento was completed in November 1990; it was premiered on 12 March 1991 by the BBC Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican Centre concert hall, conducted by Mark Wigglesworth.
The work is scored for 3 flutes, 3 oboes, cor anglais, clarinet, 3 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, and strings. The instrumentation is the same as that of Wagner's Parsifal prelude, although Skempton's use of instruments is very different. Most of Lento is scored for strings alone, and although there's a central section scored for woodwinds, instruments other than strings are generally used to highlight various aspects of the music. The piece comprises 166 bars, but the single orchestral tutti occupies only eight. Timpani are used only twice, both times to produce a G trill.
Like much of Skempton's work, Lento uses precomposed chance arranged sequences of chords as the basic harmonic material. There are ten sections, and the melodic material is restricted for the most part to just two themes. The opening section presents the "first subject" and establishes the tonic key of G minor. This material is repeated three more times as sections 5, 7 and 10. The second section, which the composer refers to as the "lyrical second subject", is repeated only once as section 9. The tempo ( quarter note = 52) is kept constant throughout the piece. Note values are restricted to mostly half notes and quarter notes.
The piece was very well received; a number of scholarly articles were written about it. Lento was described as " the emancipation of the consonance" by musicologist Hermann-Christoph Müller.
"Lento" ( English: "Slow") is the second single from the third album by Mexican singer Julieta Venegas, called Sí. The song was named the 5th best song of the 2000s decade by Latin music website Club Fonograma.
Lento is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Lento (transl. Flight) is the second album by Finnish acoustic rock band Harmaja. It was released on 21 April 2010 in Finland through Wiima.
Lento is the eighth studio album by South Korean jazz singer-songwriter Na Yoon-Sun, released on March 12, 2013 by ACT Music. It is the third album that Yoon-Sun and ACT Music worked on music together. After Yoon-Sun refused to contract with French record label Bleu, she had formed quintet with French accordionist Vincent Peirani, Swedish guitarist Ulf Wakenius, French percussionist Xavier Desandre-Navarre, and Swedish bassist and cellist Lars Danielsson. This quintet has been working together since 2009 when they created Yoon-Sun's sixth album Voyage.
This album's title comes from the Italian word 'lento,' Which means 'performing music slowly.' Yoon-Sun wrote and produced all the songs in "Lento." Indeed, most of the songs which this album contains are slowly paced. In addition, even though she was not originally a jazz musician and had sung various types of music such and rock and classical music, she uses variety of jazz techniques or produces similar effects in her songs in Lento. In this album, she performs scat singing, creates swing feeling, and the quintet plays in A-A-B-A form in some songs while fusing those techniques with other genres.
One remarkable point other than her vocal jazz performance is her re arrangement of Korean traditional folk song Arirang. Na Yoon-Sun sang this jazz version of Arirang at Sochi Winter Olympic closing ceremony in 2014 celebrating South Korea's hosting of the next winter Olympic.
