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!
