IL VENTO TI HA LASCIATA UN’ECO CHIARA, NEI SENSI, DELLE COSE CH’ÀI VEDUTE – CONFUSE – IL GIORNO
Written in 2017, premiered by Ensemble Bifröst, in June in Buffalo 2017.

The piece is about chrysanthemums, shivering lakes, yellowgreen trees in the sunlight and other nice pictures. They pass quickly, and they reshape and reshape and they are echoes and echoes and echoes. Based on this poem by Sandro Penna:

Il vento ti ha lasciata un’eco chiara,
nei sensi, delle cose ch’ài vedute
– confuse – il giorno. All’apparir del sonno
difenderti non’sai: un crisantemo,
un lago tremulo e una esigua fila
d’alberi gialloverdi sotto il sole.
