Indri Borg 1860 – 1868<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mro. Andrea Borg, mag\u0127ruf a\u0127jar b\u0127ala Mastru Indr\u00ec, twieled fis-7 ta\u2019 Jannar, 1818, fil-parro\u010b\u010ba Dumnikana ta\u2019 Portu Salvu, il-Belt Valletta, minn Salvatore Borg u Antonia mwielda Bonello. Huwa tg\u0127ammed l-g\u0127ada, ji\u0121ifieri nhar it-8 ta\u2019 Jannar. Sfortunatament, ta\u2019 sentejn Indr\u00ec tilef id-dawl ta\u2019 g\u0127ajnejh b\u2019di\u017cgrazzja. I\u017cda dan il-fatt xejn ma tellfu, spe\u010bjalment f\u2019dak li g\u0127andu x\u2019jaqsam ma\u2019 mu\u017cika. G\u0127alkemm g\u0127ama, ta\u2019 et\u00e0 \u017cg\u0127ira Indr\u00ec kien di\u0121\u00e0 jag\u0127raf liema strumenti jkunu qeg\u0127din jindaqqu fil-knisja waqt li jkun qieg\u0127ed jisma\u2019 l-quddies. G\u0127alhekk, meta l-\u0121enituri tieg\u0127u nteb\u0127u bil-kapa\u010bit\u00e0 li kellu binhom, huma bag\u0127tuh jistudja l-mu\u017cika g\u0127and wie\u0127ed mill-aqwa surmastrijiet li kien hemm il-Belt Valletta f\u2019dak i\u017c-\u017cmien. Dan kien is-Surmast Rull, li kien ukoll Maestro di Cappella tal-Kon-Katidral ta\u2019 San \u0120wann.<\/p>\n

Indr\u00ec kien juri entu\u017cja\u017cmu partikolari waqt il-lezzjonijiet tal-mu\u017cika. G\u0127all-ewwel, is-Surmast Rull beda jg\u0127allmu jdoqq il-flawt, li dak i\u017c-\u017cmien kien mag\u0127ruf b\u0127ala flejguta. I\u017cda wara ftit beda jg\u0127allmu wkoll il-klarinett \u2013 l-istrument li Indr\u00ec Borg g\u0127a\u017cel li jdoqq u li tant kien i\u0127obb. Fil-fatt, g\u0127ad li tg\u0127allem idoqq bosta strumenti o\u0127ra fosthom il-kitarra, huwa baqa\u2019 jdoqq il-klarinett u sa\u0127ansitra beda jg\u0127allmu meta la\u0127aq surmast direttur ta\u2019 xi baned. Indr\u00ec wasal biex tg\u0127allem u g\u0127allem il-mu\u017cika billi kien i\u017comm f\u2019mo\u0127\u0127u n-noti u l-\u0127oss partikulari ta\u2019 kull nota, u kif tinkiteb fuq jew ta\u0127t il-\u0127ames rigi. In-nuqqas ta\u2019 dawl kien jag\u0127mel tajjeb g\u0127alih bl-udit u l-memorja tal-g\u0127a\u0121eb li kellu.<\/p>\n

Bla ma qatt ra partitura mu\u017cikali, Mastru Indr\u00ec Borg xorta wa\u0127da kien jirnexxielu jikkomponi l-mu\u017cika. Dan kien jag\u0127mlu fuq injama li kellha mnaqqxin il-\u0127ames rigi li fuqhom tinkiteb il-mu\u017cika. B\u2019hekk huwa seta\u2019 j\u0127osshom b\u2019subg\u0127ajh. Imbag\u0127ad kien jaqbad bi\u010b\u010biet tax-xema\u2019, li dejjem kien i\u017comm \u0127dejh, u jiffurmahom f\u2019bo\u010b\u010bi ta\u2019 daqsijiet differenti sabiex jissimbolizzaw in-noti mu\u017cikali. Dawn kien iwa\u0127\u0127alhom fuq ir-rig mu\u017cikali sabiex jo\u0127loq il-melodija. Imbag\u0127ad kien isejja\u0127 lil xi \u0127add vi\u010bin tieg\u0127u u jqabbdu jikkopja dik il-mu\u017cika fuq karta sabiex tkun tista\u2019 tindaqq. Wara li jismag\u0127ha kien jag\u0127mel it-tiswijiet me\u0127tie\u0121a.<\/p>\n

B\u2019dan il-mod, Indr\u00ec Borg irnexxielu jikteb bosta siltiet mu\u017cikali kif ukoll g\u0127amel arran\u0121amenti ta\u2019 diversi polki, valzi, mar\u010bi, sonati u innijiet. L-ewwel innu li kiteb kien iddedikat lil San Duminku. Dan indaqq nhar il-festa tieg\u0127u tal-1860 u tkanta mit-tfal. Innijiet o\u0127ra li kiteb huma ddedikati lil San Filippu, San Publiju (1863), Sant Andrija u l-Madonna ta\u2019 Liesse. Il-versi ta\u2019 dawn l-innijiet inkitbu bit-Taljan min-nies imla\u0127\u0127qin fil-kamp letterarju u mu\u017cikali ta\u2019 dak i\u017c-\u017cmien, fosthom Dun \u0120u\u017cepp Zammit Brighella, il-Prof. \u010aesare Vassallo u Antonio Crescimanno u o\u0127rajn. F\u20191854, Mastru Indr\u00ec Borg ddetta Trattat tal-Mu\u017cika li bil-lingwa Maltija jispjega x\u2019inhuma l-armonija, il-partituri u l-kuntrapunt fi-ktieb ta\u2019 150 pa\u0121na. Indr\u00ec Borg kien isewwi l-orgnijiet tal-knejjes. Fosthom sewwa dak tal-Katidral u tal-Knisja ta\u2019 San Pawl Nawfragu, li fih elf u sebg\u0127a u tletin (1037) kanna mu\u017cikali. G\u0127alkemm g\u0127ama, Indr\u00ec Borg irnexxielu jeg\u0127leb din id-di\u017cabilit\u00e0 u jo\u0127loq opportunitajiet o\u0127ra sabiex jag\u0127ti kontribut lill-i\u017cvilupp mu\u017cikali ta\u2019 pajji\u017cu. Fil-fatt, huwa jibqa\u2019 mag\u0127ruf g\u0127all-mod kif organizza l-baned f\u2019pajji\u017cna g\u0127aliex fil-baned Maltin ried li jindaqqu l-istrumenti kollha li jinsabu fil-baned militari.1 Indr\u00ec Borg kien ukoll Maestro di Cappella tal-Konkatidral ta\u2019 San \u0120wann, il-Belt Valletta.<\/p>\n

Il-Banda di San Filippo ta\u2019 \u0126a\u017c-\u017bebbu\u0121 ila li twaqqfet sa mill-1851.2a & 2b<\/p>\n

Meta fl-1860 is-Surmast Andrea Borg \u0127a l-Banda San Filep f\u2019idejh, huwa qabad mod sistematiku ta\u2019 tag\u0127lim tal-mu\u017cika u bih organizza u kabbar il-banda, li kien beda Mro. Filippo Galea uffi\u010bjalment fis-sena 1851. F\u2019dokument li hemm fil-Arkivju tal-G\u0127aqda Ka\u017cin Banda San Filep juri li fl-10 ta\u2019 Frar tas-sena 1859 (Festa ta\u2019 San Pawl Nawfragu) l-Maestri Angelo Galea, Filippo Galea u Andrea Borg, l-eks Presidenti Antonio Pisani u Gaetano Attard flimkien ma\u2019 benefatturi o\u0127ra b\u0127al Salvatore Ciappara, kienu taw flus lill-Filarmonika San Filippo biex inxtraw \u0127mistax-il strument \u0121did g\u0127all-istess Banda San Filep.3<\/p>\n

Bis-sa\u0127\u0127a ta\u2019 Mastru Indr\u00ec, il-Filarmonika San Filippo \u0127adet prominenza kbira g\u0127ax beda jo\u0127ro\u0121ha ddoqq barra minn \u0126a\u017c-\u017bebbu\u0121. Fil-fatt, l-ewwel darba li l-Filarmonika San Filippo \u0127ar\u0121et iddoqq barra minn \u0126a\u017c-\u017bebbu\u0121 kien fil-25 ta\u2019 Novembru 1851, g\u0127all-festa ta\u2019 Santa Katerina fi\u017c-\u017burrieq.4a & 4b Dak i\u017c-\u017cmien Mastru Indr\u00ec kien sostitut surmast fin-nuqqas ta\u2019 Maestro Filippo Galea. Imbag\u0127ad fl-erba\u2019 ta\u2019 Awissu, 1860, il-Filarmonika San Filippo ta\u0127t id-direzzjoni tas-surmast Andrea Borg kienet l-ewwel banda Maltija li daqqet fil-Belt Valletta g\u0127all-okka\u017cjoni tal-festa ta\u2019 San Duminku \u0121ewwa l-Parro\u010b\u010ba tad-Dumnikani fil-Belt Valletta.5 Baqg\u0127et tag\u0127mel dan is-servizz g\u0127al diversi snin. Dan il-progress wassal lil din il-banda tkompli tie\u0127u xejra iktar moderna g\u0127al kif a\u0127na nafu l-baned illum. Fis-sena 1860 Maestro Indr\u00ec Borg waqqaf \u02bbBanda Nazzjonali\u2019 f\u2019 \u0126a\u017c-\u017bebbu\u0121. Hu kien mid\u0127la sew ta\u2019 bosta baned mifruxa madwar Malta u g\u0127alekk dak in nhar irnexxielu jaqg\u0127ad banda, billi u\u017ca l-qafas ta\u2019 element bandistiku \u017bebbu\u0121i u \u017cewqu ma bandisti li kienu \u0121ejjin minn ir\u0127ula o\u0127ra u g\u0127alhekk it-titolu mist\u0127oqq ta\u2019 Banda Nazzjonali. Billi l-unika banda e\u017cistenti kienet dik ta\u2019 Banda di San Filippo u ma kienetx te\u017cisti l-ebda banda o\u0127ra f\u2019ra\u0127alna, wie\u0127ed jissopponi b\u2019mod konkret li l-qafas li u\u017ca biex jifforma din il-banda kien dak ta\u2019 San Filippo, banda li kien di\u0121a jifforma parti minnha. Dan kien il-bidu tal-mod kif il-baned Maltin komplew jevolvu biex ftit ftit la\u0127qu l-format li g\u0127andhom illum.<\/p>\n

Fit-8 ta\u2019 Mejju, 1864, l-istatwa artistika u monumentali ta\u2019 San Filep da\u0127let trijonfalment \u0121ewwa l-Knisja Ar\u010bipretali ta\u2019 \u0126a\u017c-\u017bebbu\u0121 akkumpanjata minn pur\u010bissjoni li \u0127ar\u0121et mill-Kappella tal-An\u0121li. Il-Filarmonika San Filippo g\u0127amlet tliet servizzi mu\u017cikali u ndaqq Innu lil San Filep, mu\u017cika ta\u2019 Mastru Indr\u00ec. Dan baqa\u2019 jindaqq g\u0127al bosta snin fejn kien iqajjem il-Belt Rohan. Dan is-surmast baqa\u2019 jidderie\u0121i l-Banda San Filep sal-1868. Skont il-kittieb is-Sur Joe Miceli, sitt xhur wara li \u0127a t-tmexxija tal-Banda San Filep fl-1860, Andrea Borg waqqaf il-Banda L\u2019Isle Adam tar-Rabat.<\/p>\n

Indr\u00ec \u017c\u017cewwe\u0121 lil Marianna mwielda Ebejer fis-sena 1848, u kellhom tifel uniku li semmewh \u0120iuseppi. Aktar \u2019il quddiem lil dan \u0120iuseppi insibuh ukoll b\u0127ala surmast direttur tal-Banda San Filep. Ix-xwejja\u0127 Indr\u00ec miet fqir, g\u0127ama u mkenen fl-isptar tal-anzjani San Vincenz de Paule (Imgieret), \u0126al Luqa, fil-15 ta\u2019 Marzu, 1903, fl-g\u0127omor ta\u2019 erbg\u0127a u tmenin sena.<\/p>\n
