Been writing about methane holes in the arctic and fascists but who needs more of that stuff ? Here's some old heart song instead.

A Hard Woman. ( Stevek )

I am excited about collaborating with soprano Maribel Villarroel and arranger and pianist René Calderón. The lyrics are from a Pablo Neruda poem about Easter Island, "XXII La Isla". This poem is from Pablo Neruda's "The Separate Rose", translated by William O'Daly. The Foundation of Pablo Neruda has granted permission.

Canciones para Pablo Neruda" is a book of musical scores for songs based on lyrics by Pablo Neruda and artwork from some of Chile's greatest artists:

This song was also performed live at "La Chascona", the former home and now museum of Pablo Neruda in Bella Vista, Santiago: youtu.be/vzz8tY0CYLk?si=ZfYIat6iL69p2FW4

XXII La Isla

Amor, amor, Oh separada mía
Por tantas veces mar como nieve y distancia,
Mínima y misteriosa
rodeada de eternidad, agradezco
no solo tu mirada de doncella,
tu  blancura escondida, rosa secreta, sino
el resplandor moral de tus estatuas
La paz abandonada que impusiste en mis manos 
El día detenido en tu garganta

XXII The Island

My Love, my love, O separate one,
for so long sea like snow and distance,
small and mysterious, surrounded by the infinitive,
I am thankful not only for your lovely innocence,
your hidden whiteness, secret rose, but also
for the moral radiance of your statues,
For the forsaken peace you imposed upon my hands:
The day caught inside your throat.

I loved playing Muzio Clementi's Six Sonatinas when I was a student. I played them very fast and often strayed from the classical style to the dismay of my teacher! I still remember bits of each one. Here I recorded a set of 2 pieces based mostly on the Sonatina in C Major. I recorded them in one session and couldn't make up my mine which parts to take out for one piece. Take a listen to Part 2,also posted,  a remnant of this version. I hope you have fun listening as much as I had creating them!
