Beyond the Abyss” is a prog-rock work composed by Perry Magnani and M° Elisabetta Tagliati, based on Elisabetta’s dreamlike novel of the same name published by Pluriversum Editions.
The plot tells of a legend with deep spiritual implications, set in the magical Italian Apennines. Bethel, a Celtic chieftain, receives a series of mysterious visions that lead her to an encounter with the druid Vessagh. Their mutual acquaintance quickly turns into transcendental love, allowing them to reach the source of the supreme Self.
The song “Makena” is found at the beginning of the Rock Opera, where the two female characters (Bethel and Luned) confront each other while talking about the valiant chieftain Makena. Bethel, Makena’s companion, is the ruler of this small Celtic Clan, while Luned is a dear friend who is very attached to tradition. The song has a distinct acoustic folk sound, enriched by the presence of flutes that enhances and characterizes the female component of the song. The melody, rhythmic with processional suggestion, highlights the dignity and elegance of the characters.
The rock opera is in the Italian language and played completely live, either acoustic (with piano or piano and guitar) or electric (with a full rock band). The three characters are characterized by three different vocalities (lyrical, rock and soul), approached from numerous musical genres (folk, pop, blues, soul, rock, metal, classical, psychedelic, soundtrack) that flow smoothly with each other and are summarized by the prog rock sound.
The show consists of 25 songs for the duration of about 2 hours, which can also be performed as a concert or musical reading. In 2019, the show debuted in stage form in the Rocca di Montefiorino (MO).
