While Drawing In A Church-Yard by Thomas Hardy

     "It is sad that so many of worth,
     Still in the flesh," soughed the yew,
    "Misjudge their lot whom kindly earth
     Secludes from view.

     "They ride their diurnal round
     Each day-span's sum of hours
    In peerless ease, without jolt or bound
     Or ache like ours.

     "If the living could but hear
     What is heard by my roots as they creep
    Round the restful flock, and the things said there,
     No one would weep."

     "'Now set among the wise,'
     They say: 'Enlarged in scope,
    That no God trumpet us to rise
     We truly hope.'"

     I listened to his strange tale
     In the mood that stillness brings,
    And I grew to accept as the day wore pale
     That show of things.

A Military Appointment by Thomas Hardy


SCHERZANDO


    "So back you have come from the town, Nan, dear!
    And have you seen him there, or near -
    That soldier of mine -
    Who long since promised to meet me here?"

    " O yes, Nell: from the town I come,
    And have seen your lover on sick-leave home -
    That soldier of yours -
    Who swore to meet you, or Strike-him-dumb;

    "But has kept himself of late away;
    Yet, in short, he's coming, I heard him say -
    That lover of yours -
    To this very spot on this very day."

    " Then I'll wait, I'll wait, through wet or dry!
    I'll give him a goblet brimming high -
    This lover of mine -
    And not of complaint one word or sigh!"

    " Nell, him I have chanced so much to see,
    That he has grown the lover of me! -
    That lover of yours -
    And it's here our meeting is planned to be."

A Spot by Thomas Hardy

     In years defaced and lost,
     Two sat here, transport-tossed,
     Lit by a living love
    The wilted world knew nothing of:
     Scared momently
     By gaingivings,
     Then hoping things
     That could not be.

     Of love and us no trace
     Abides upon the place;
     The sun and shadows wheel,
    Season and season sereward steal;
     Foul days and fair
     Here, too, prevail,
     And gust and gale
     As everywhere.

     But lonely shepherd souls
     Who bask amid these knolls
     May catch a faery sound
    On sleepy noontides from the ground:
     "O not again
     Till Earth outwears
     Shall love like theirs
     Suffuse this glen!"





Analysis

A Week by Thomas Hardy

    On Monday night I closed my door,
    And thought you were not as heretofore,
    And little cared if we met no more.

    I seemed on Tuesday night to trace
    Something beyond mere commonplace
    In your ideas, and heart, and face.

    On Wednesday I did not opine
    Your life would ever be one with mine,
    Though if it were we should well combine.

    On Thursday noon I liked you well,
    And fondly felt that we must dwell
    Not far apart, whatever befell.

    On Friday it was with a thrill
    In gazing towards your distant vill
    I owned you were my dear one still.

    I saw you wholly to my mind
    On Saturday even one who shrined
    All that was best of womankind.

    As wing-clipt sea-gull for the sea
    On Sunday night I longed for thee,
    Without whom life were waste to me!




Analysis

Thomas Hardy's poem "A Week" reflects on the fleeting nature of time and the inevitability of change.

A Woman Driving by Thomas Hardy

    How she held up the horses' heads,
    Firm-lipped, with steady rein,
    Down that grim steep the coastguard treads,
    Till all was safe again!

    With form erect and keen contour
    She passed against the sea,
    And, dipping into the chine's obscure,
    Was seen no more by me.

    To others she appeared anew
    At times of dusky light,
    But always, so they told, withdrew
    From close and curious sight.

    Some said her silent wheels would roll
    Rutless on softest loam,
    And even that her steeds' footfall
    Sank not upon the foam.

    Where drives she now? It may be where
    No mortal horses are,
    But in a chariot of the air
    Towards some radiant star.




Analysis

Thomas Hardy's poem "A Woman Driving" explores themes of social class and gender. The poem contrasts the freedom of a woman driving a carriage with the restrictions imposed by society. Her confident demeanor and control over the vehicle symbolize independence, but Hardy also subtly critiques the limitations of that freedom within a patriarchal society. The poem reflects Hardy's nuanced view of women's roles, highlighting both their empowerment and the societal constraints they face.

A Woman's Trust by Thomas Hardy

    If he should live a thousand years
    He'd find it not again
    That scorn of him by men
    Could less disturb a woman's trust
    In him as a steadfast star which must
    Rise scathless from the nether spheres:
    If he should live a thousand years
    He'd find it not again.

    She waited like a little child,
    Unchilled by damps of doubt,
    While from her eyes looked out
    A confidence sublime as Spring's
    When stressed by Winter's loiterings.
    Thus, howsoever the wicked wiled,
    She waited like a little child
    Unchilled by damps of doubt.

    Through cruel years and crueller
    Thus she believed in him
    And his aurore, so dim;
    That, after fenweeds, flowers would blow;
    And above all things did she show
    Her faith in his good faith with her;
    Through cruel years and crueller
    Thus she believed in him!




Analysis

Thomas Hardy's "A Woman's Trust" explores the fragility and naivety of a woman's faith in love. The poem contrasts the woman's unwavering trust with the harsh reality of human nature, highlighting the vulnerability that comes with blind devotion. Hardy's melancholic tone and vivid imagery emphasize the inevitable disillusionment, portraying trust as both a precious gift and a potential source of deep pain when betrayed. The poem ultimately reflects on the bittersweet nature of love.

A Year Later (Serenade) by Thomas Hardy

    I skimmed the strings; I sang quite low;
    I hoped she would not come or know
    That the house next door was the one now dittied,
    Not hers, as when I had played unpitied;
    - Next door, where dwelt a heart fresh stirred,
    My new Love, of good will to me,
    Unlike my old Love chill to me,
    Who had not cared for my notes when heard:
    Yet that old Love came
    To the other's name
    As hers were the claim;
    Yea, the old Love came

    My viol sank mute, my tongue stood still,
    I tried to sing on, but vain my will:
    I prayed she would guess of the later, and leave me;
    She stayed, as though, were she slain by the smart,
    She would bear love's burn for a newer heart.
    The tense-drawn moment wrought to bereave me
    Of voice, and I turned in a dumb despair
    At her finding I'd come to another there.
    Sick I withdrew
    At love's grim hue
    Ere my last Love knew;
    Sick I withdrew.

  



Analysis

Thomas Hardy's "A Year Later (Serenade)" reflects on love's transience and the inevitability of change.

Hardy captures the melancholy of lost intimacy and the inevitability of emotional decay.

Lyrics:

In the glow of fading light,
Dusk descends, stealing sight.
Echoes drift into the night,
Melodies fade out of sight.

Bound by notes that slip away,
In this silence, we won't stay.
Feel the hush as time stands still,
Shadows fade, we've lost the thrill.

This was the reverie of yesterday,
Holding on to words we couldn't say.
Let the silence guide our way,
Together we fade to gray.

Underneath the endless sky,
Stars align as dreams pass by.
Beats align with hearts subdued,
Stories end in solitude.

Hearts divide in silent sound,
Threads unweave and fall to ground.
Tides recede, we drift away,
Into the night, we fade to gray.

This was the reverie of yesterday,
Echoes of a love that couldn't stay.
Let the silence guide our way,
Together we fade to gray.

In the stillness, lose the sound,
Once was lost, now not found.
Open eyes, the silence deep,
In this moment, shadows seep.

This was the reverie of yesterday,
Bound by memories that slip away.
Letting go as night meets day,
In silence, we drift astray.

Reverie of yesterday...

IL VIAGGIO - excerpt

LO ZINGARO - excerpt

I’m a composer, songwriter, arranger, orchestrator, orchestra & choir conductor, music producer, mentor, writer, and researcher.
My work moves freely across different forms of expression — from Progressive Rock and Modern Symphony to Classical Piano, Songwriting, and Cinematic Music.
Over the years, I’ve shared projects with remarkable artists — including collaborations with Francesco Di Giacomo and Rodolfo Maltese of Banco del Mutuo Soccorso — and composed original scores for film, television, and symphonic productions that have reached international audiences.
As a mentor and educator, I’ve created the ANORA method, together with formative paths and musical laboratories exploring music as a uniquely human language — expressive, relational, and representative of inner experience.
In my poetic vision, sound itself becomes an image — a mental landscape that connects the composer’s inner vision with the listener’s imagination.
Each work blends tradition and innovation through orchestral writing, progressive structures, and storytelling soundscapes.
Every “side” of my music reflects a different perspective — all parts of the same creative vision.

كما يكشف الستيريوسكوب عن العمق والأبعاد، منصتنا تكشف عن طبقات من القصص والأصوات، تتقاطع وتتشابك لتخلق تجربة موسيقية غنية. وُلد في العالم العربي كإثبات وجود صوتي، ليكون مساحة للموسيقيين للتعبير، للمقاومة، وللتأمل—أحيانًا عن قصد وأحيانًا فقط لأن الأمر يستحق ذلك.

في الداخل، ستجد جلسات جاز حيّة من زوايا غير متوقعة، مقاطع راب خامّة من شوارع السودان، وأشرطة إيقاعية تمزج الثقافات، وكل ما هو بينهما. هنا تتلاشى الأنماط، تذوب الحدود، ويحمل كل مقطوعة قصتها الخاصة. استمع، اشعر، ودع الموسيقى تكشف عن أبعادها.


Like a stereoscope reveals depth and perspective, our platform uncovers layers of stories and sounds, intersecting and intertwining to create a rich musical experience. Born in the Arab world as a sonic proof of existence, it’s a space for musicians to explore, resist, and reflect—sometimes with intention, sometimes just for the f**k of it.

Inside, you’ll find live jazz sessions from unexpected corners, raw verses from the streets of Sudan, hypnotic beat tapes that blend cultures, and everything in between. Genres blur, borders dissolve, and every track tells its own story. Tune in, listen deeply, and let the music reveal its layers.
