“Excuse me, please, but I like my music.“
Igor Stravinsky
Writing new music is like looking for glimpses of beauty in the confusion of life. Here you will find all my original compositions (partly published by Ut Orpheus in Bologna). Unpublished scores can be downloaded freely, while any sets of parts are available upon request. If you wish to schedule a public performance or entrust me with a project, please do not hesitate to contact me.

after Daniela Morisi
2014
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)
