SKU: A0.1261426
Composed by Thomas Oboe Lee. 20th Century,21st Century,Chamber,Contemporary. Score. 54 pages. Thomas Oboe Lee #854502. Published by Thomas Oboe Lee (A0.1261426).I first came upon Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem translated into Italian by Roberto Ascoli in a chamber work by Ottorino Respighi entitled "Il Tramonto." I was so taken by this work for mezzo-soprano and string quartet that I did my own version of the Shelley-Ascoli text for soprano and piano, also called "Il Tramonto."
In the meanwhile, I found at an antique bookstore online a first edition copy of "Poesie di P. B. Shelley" (Milano Fratelli Treves, Editori, 1905) with more translations into Italian by Roberto Ascoli. The Italian versions are so much more beautiful than the English that I was compelled to create another song cycle of some of these poems in Italian for soprano and piano.
