The transcript of the  Troubadour  according to the popular tradition of Emilian dancers, especially between the territories of Reggio Emilia and Parma, not only is it stylistically very successful, but - we dare to affirm - it even seems to reveal the authentic “genetic matrix” of the melodies of Verdi's masterpiece; after all, it is far from improbable that Verdi had sucked its essence from his childhood, as they say, with his mother's milk.
The Nightingale revisits the musical tradition of the "wind concerts" of Barco (Reggio Emilia), reworking scores of late 19th century dance music. The septet, founded by Francesco Gualerzi and Mirco Ghirardini , is placed as an organ size halfway between the original wind concert (12-13 elements) and the smaller dance orchestra (and different for the type of tools used).

The name of the group is taken from the title of the waltz -  The nightingale, in fact - with which the nineteenth-century wind concert of the Cantoni di Parma invited people to dance with virtuosic "chirps".
