Description
Monteverdi is the clearest reference for this short piece I wrote as melody and numbered bass. I was looking for a software instrument as near as possible to the theorbe or archlute, and I found the Jam Pack 4 Harp quite enjoyable. Of course I would have omitted my voice if I could find something more fit...
Lyrics are the first fragment of a short poem by George Seferis, maybe the most distinguished greek poet of the '900 (Nobel prize 1963 - http://nobelprize.org/literature/laureates/1963/seferis-bio.html).
His poems are often of difficult interpretation, and this one is no exception. Stay on a long time with his verses if you want to discover their poetry.

Lyrics
Sopra un raggio d'Inverno
I.
Foglie di latta arrugginita
per il cervello gramo che toccò la fine:
radi barbagli.
Foglie prese in un vortice
coi gabbiani eccitati dall'Inverno.
Come un petto si libera
si sono fatti rami i danzatori
selva immensa di rami denudati.
------------
On A Ray Of Winter Light
I.
Leaves like rusty tin 

for the desolate mind that has seen the end:
the barest glimmerings.

Leaves aswirl with gulls

made wild by winter.
Like a chest gets loose
have become branches the dancers
immense woods of naked branches.
