Sonet a la mort de Nise, 
Francesc Fontanella (1622-1681)

Quan cinyen, caminant, la pedra dura
arcs romputs i cadenes forcejades,
ales desfetes, fletxes desdorades, 
diràs que és de l'Amor la sepultura.

Mes, obscur lo Parnàs, l'esfera obscura,
tristes muses, esteles llastimades,
ab veus mudes, ab ombres desditxades,
que és eclipse, diran, de l'Hermosura.

Nise, lo sol que els astres embellia,
sol que a les muses animà serenes,
deixa sens llum la nit, mos ulls sens dia. 

Ploren los astres, ploren les camenes,
plore l'Amor; puix de l'Amor tenia
los arcs, les fletxes, ales i cadenes.

This is a piano piece with cello arrangements. A peaceful look into nostalgia and memories, composed from the wonderful island of Mallorca. Greetings to all of you who have been following me for years. 

Where we used to be

TRANSFER traces the journey of thoughts—from the first perceived signals to their transformation within the mind. At times stable, at times chaotic, they transcend the body, spreading into other realms, ready to be received and shared beyond.
