Notte Splendida Notte
A piece of world music to help celebrate IYA2009. Braille is used to interpret the light of the stars into music, a method developed by David Harper, bringing the stars closer to the nonsighted community.

notte splendida notte
profonda e misteriosa
insondabile
splendida notte
che mi chiami
al tuo mistero
di silenzio
credevo di averlo scordato
ma esiste, ancora!
* * *
night wonderful night
deep and mysterious
unfathomable
wonderful night
you‘re calling me
to your mystery
of silence
I thought I ‘d forgotten
but it exists, still!
