Original composition for Solo Bass Clarinet in B flat and 8 Clarinets or Clarinet Choir.

Ancora pochi passi
ho ben fissate sulle spalle
le grandi ali di cera
penne e piume di mille uccelli
è facile scavalcare la ringhiera
nell’aria bianca di calore
mi risucchia la vertigine
e sopra il sole.

D’oro e di cristallo
brilla la città sognata
accecante di cupole ardenti
guglie svettanti cuspidi incandescenti
brucia la città senza ombre
avvampata di purpurei giardini fiammanti
luccicante di palazzi color di rosa e di fuoco
città del mio ultimo volo
e sopra il sole.
(Daniela Morisi)
