Song Cycle by Luigi Cortese (1899 - 1976)

1. Alla solitudine  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Solitudine mia beata e santa !
Cosí ricca sei tu, pura ed immensa,

Solitudine mia beata e santa !
Tieni sbarrate le tue porte d'oro,
sí che attenda, di fuori, ogni altra cosa.

2. Le prime stelle  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Ardono i vetri sulla casa muta.
Tutto il giardino è un olezzar di rose
Alta distende sull’etere fermo,
tra i larghi abissi delle nubi bianche,
l’ali, la Sera.

Una squilla si versa sulle aiuole,
limpida voce di mondi celesti.
Furtiva, sulle pallide betulle colme di sussurrìi, 
veggo la Notte che accende lenta nello scialbo azzurro
le prime stelle.

3. Risveglio del vento  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Nel colmo della notte, a volte, accade
che si risvegli, come un bimbo, il vento.
Solo, pian piano, vien per il sentiero,
pènetra nel villaggio addormentato.
Striscia, guardingo, sino alla fontana;
poi, si sofferma, tacito, in ascolto.
Pallide stan tutte le case intorno;
tutte le querce mute. 

Text Authorship:

  • by Vincenzo Errante (1890 - 1951), "Risveglio del vento"

Based on:

  • a text in German (Deutsch) by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926), no title, appears in Frühe Gedichte, in Mir zur Feier

4. Invito alla sera  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Vèrsati in me, Sera che lenta scorri
da maestose lontananze arcane !
Ti accoglierò. 
La schiusa conca io sono che ti prende, ti tiene, e non trabocca. 
Plàcati in me, in me diventa luce,
vasta silente vaporosa 
Sera ! Ciò che nel fondo mi si addensa e posa ,
traspaia, ignoto, in quella luce : e sia !

Text Authorship:

  • by Vincenzo Errante (1890 - 1951), "Invito alla sera"
