about

Bruno Bettinelli’s madrigals are brief and enigmatic. The harmony is dense. Intense outbursts interrupt otherwise fragile textures. Chromatic vocal lines twist and yearn for resolution, increasing in complexity, such that moments of harmonic sweetness - like the end of Sia calmo il mio respiro - become incredibly special.

lyrics

Sia calmo il mio respiro
mentre il mare singhiozza
sulla riva l'onda breve.
Sento sul braccio il soffio carezzevole di maggio
e il tuo tocco lieve.
Immoto
resta il cuore nell'ora che lenta
si raggruma
lenta, lenta.

***

Be still my breath
as the sea chokes up
onto the shore the brief wave.
I feel on my arm the caressing puff of May
and your light touch.
Motionless
Rests the heart in the hour that it slowly
condenses
slowly, slowly.
