Season
Ti lascio una canzone
4.00 160 minutes Ti lascio una canzone is an Italian musical variety show TV show that includes a competition between the most beloved songs in the history of Italian pop music.
The songs, which represent the true stars of the show, are “golden oldies”. They are symbolically “left” for us, in what amounts to a musical heritage, to be interpreted by the singers of tomorrow, in order to ensure that the melodies and lyrics which have provided the background music to past generations are not lost. The songs are performed by young singing talents, who interpret the best loved songs of Italian pop music during each broadcast.
Italian and international singing guests become part of “story” of the evening’s broadcast, enlarging the musical panorama covered by that particular episode. The guests stars perform without taking part in the competition, singing their greatest hits and engaging in duets with the younger singers.
The show assembles a large group of children. The young singers are selected from among the leading students of today’s most prestigious music schools. They are assigned songs as solos, duets, and trios; they sing some songs all together as an ensemble. They may also perform with the show's guests. A 30-piece orchestra backs the performances.
