👏👏Beautiful Antonio 👏👏
(Sorry Antonio I’ve had nasty Northern Canadian 🇨🇦weather since January 17 , it was minus-58 Celsius for over 2weeks , lost my electric power & internet for  almost a month.. )

👏the choir pieces are beautiful.. I’m listening to all your tracks I’ve missed right now
👏👏👏👏👏Bravo👏👏👏👏👏

Un coro che si eleva come una preghiera sincera, avvolgendo l’ascoltatore in un’atmosfera di raccoglimento e speranza. Le voci si fondono con armonia, trasmettendo un senso di fiducia e apertura verso qualcosa di più grande. C’è una profondità emotiva che risuona nell’eco delle melodie, come un dialogo interiore che trova risposta nel silenzio. Un brano che parla direttamente all’anima.

— Francesco Adornetto

@emma-valentine-275735097: Thank you very much!

Very nice, Antonio.  Ver mild and welcoming.

Lyrics

There’s a smell of cheap perfume
Laced with something dark
A promise whispered in your ear
A bigger lie now starts

Candy dusts your finger tips
Painted on hooker lips
One more tiny taste
One last final kiss


Your the taste of fuck
Hidden behind your candy shell
The sticky tangled mess

Cheap Perfume

        Happy Belated Valentine's Day to everyone out there young and old! Here's a new song for all you lovers and a video to celebrate this Valentine's Day! 

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/PTGthfTkiwY

I wrote this song late last year. We really need some love today more than ever, it seems we are running on hate alone! I am old school and still am a true believer in love, so this song is very corny and old fashioned ballad, the lyrics are simple but come from my heart. I sat at the piano before Christmas last year and asked myself "What does love really mean to you?" And this was my response, words and music both came to me as one, just like that! I apologize for my vocals, Charlie and I were on Christmas break at the time I wrote this. What can I say? I don't know much and I'm terrible at math but this equation I know still holds water: Love = Life, Hate = Death. So there you go, as four famous hippies once said in 1967 "All you need is love, love is all you need!"🙏✌🏼

“WHAT LOVE MEANS TO ME”

CLOUDLESS DAYS, SUN WARM AND BRIGHT,    
WHISPERY OCEAN BREEZE,    
GENTLE WAYS AND STARRY NIGHTS,      
THAT’S WHAT LOVE MEANS TO ME,                

DINNER FOR TWO BY CANDLELIGHT,  
FRAGRANT WHITE JASMINE TREES,    
A SMILE TO EASE A HEAVY HEART,   
THAT’S WHAT LOVE MEANS TO ME,

LOVE APPEARS IN MANY WAYS,        
MYSTERIOUS SOMETIMES,       
MUNDANE BUT YET SUBLIME,          
PAINFUL BUT YET DIVINE,       
BUT WHEN WE FALL,        
WE FALL FOR IT ALL,
     
LOVE IS YOU, LOVE IS ME,              
LOVE IS WHAT WE WERE MEANT TO BE,              
AH,AHHH,        
  
HOLDING HANDS, SHARING A BOOK,   
OR JUST WATCHING T.V.         
A MORNING KISS, A CARING LOOK,    
THAT’S WHAT LOVE MEANS TO ME.

My Heart Was Already Thorn

Child of Nature

The Phantom (Remix)

Every Time.m4a

Can’t chase the days
They’re gone
You can find out what is left of you
trading your ways
for a life of gratitude
send her this song
before the train leaves out of Berney Arms

Play to this paltry rhyme
Stay near the edge of time
Tides of tears still drying
Fear so cold, melt the ice with fire

The glow
Of that darkened window
Save my soul
For the haunted kingdom
Hear the train, once again, my babe
Wring the nape of all that God creates

Hear the train once, again, my babe
Wring the nape of all that God creates

IL SIGNORE È IL MIO PASTORE Salmo 22(23)

Meditazioni musicale sui Salmi di A. Porrino

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD Psalm 22(23)
Song no. 11 of “SALMODIANDO”
Musical meditations on the Psalms by A. Porrino

(Testo delle voci  soprane)
Il Signore è il mio pastore,
Il Signore è il mio pastore:
non manco di nulla,
su pascoli erbosi mi fa riposare,
ad acque tranquille mi conduce.
Mi rinfranca, mi guida per il giusto cammin,
per amor del suo nome. Il Signor è il mio pastor.

Se dovessi camminare in una valle oscura,
non temerei alcun male, perché tu sei con me.
Sicurezza mi danno il tuo bastone e il tuo vincastro.
Davanti a me tu prepari una mensa
sotto gli occhi dei miei nemici,
cospargi di olio il mio capo, trabocca il mio calice.

Felicità e grazia mi saranno compagne
tutti i giorni della mia vita
e nella casa del Signore abiterò
per lunghissimi anni.

The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will  dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.

IL SIGNORE È IL MIO PASTORE Salmo 22(23)

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –- four string Fender Precision Bass with a plectrum 
 
This song began as one of Joe's, lyrically centered songs, which he wrote and filled in with VST instruments. He came up with the lyrics by sharing ideas with fellow SoundCloud musician Michele Ansani.
   Knowing that Josh is a fan of his work, Joe offered this song to him in hopes that he'd share it with the rest of the band. Of course, Josh jumped at the opportunity to work on his song, and immediately shared it with the rest of the group. 
  Ken went to work first, adding his driving, excting drums. Josh was having a hard time coming up with a good bass line for it, until Ken suggested that he use the power of the 1/8 note to propel it. Tez was up next with his clever fills you hear throughout the first half of the song. Stephen came along right after and matched Tez's energy for the guitar fills in the second half of the song. 
  It was still missing a solo in the designated spot, though, so Mark stepped up with his innovative piano solo you hear in the middle. If it sounds a little mechanical, that's because he's using an arpeggiator to achieve the effect. We thought it sounded good in a song about AI, though. 
  Once all the parts were dialed in, and Joe had gotten all his vocals tuned up, we asked one of our resident pros, Stephen, to mix it for us. He did that and mastered it, too, expertly, as always.
  This is the first song we've ever done with Joe, and don't expect it to be the last. We all really enjoyed putting together, in no small part because Joe is such a competent, receptive, and gracious collaborator. We all hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. 
Original lyrics by Joe Stroffolino (and Michele Ansani):
When I was thirteen I picked up my first guitar
it was my mother's, it only had one nylon string 
I tried to play it like a rock star
I learned to play the Coca-Cola jingle
So I could teach the world to sing
When I was fourteen, I put on six new strings
I learned to play Beatles, I learned a Bob Dylan song
I sounded out of tune but I tried to carry on
At fifteen I wrote my first original tune 
So bad it sounded like it might have been written by a baboon
When I was sixteen, I got a new guitar for my birthday
The metal strings sawed through my fingers 
But I continued to play
And the calluses formed and every day I learned a brand new chord
I was obsessed with that guitar and I never grew bored.
I wrote songs every day and most of them were a mess
But I believed that through hard work, I could achieve success
Malcom Gladwell wrote a book that said it takes ten thousand hours
To become and expert at your craft
But now all it takes is two commands and an enter
And in two minutes you have ten versions of the same damn new song,
You just have to choose the type
folk, rock, rap, pop, metal, jazz, trap or blues.
You don't even need to write the lyrics, 
your push a few buttons let the AI choose.
And people will think your songs are great even though you didn’t write or play a single note.
When I was 20, I did my first concert, it was time
it occurred in a village square
there were four cats all friends of mine
I was still using the plectrum and sometimes I got the chords wrong
at thirty I finally wrote what I thought was a decent song
It had a very well thought out structure
And a catchy vibe and beat
It was overly verbose but when I played it people tapped their feet
In my forties I stopped wasting my time
Work was more fun I was doing just fine

QUANDO TI INVOCO (SALMO 4)
Brano n. 5 di “SALMODIANDO”
Meditazioni musicale sui Salmi di A. Porrino

WHEN I CALL TO YOU (PSALM 4)
Song no. 11 of “SALMODIANDO”
Musical meditations on the Psalms by A. Porrino

Quando ti invoco, rispondimi, Signor.
Dio mia giustizia: mi hai liberato dalle angosce.
Pietà di me, la preghiera mia ascolta.
Risplenda su di noi, Signor, la luce del volto tuo.
Hai messo nel mio cuore più gioia
di quando abbondano vino e frumento.
In pace mi corico e mi addormento:
tu solo, Signore, mi fai riposare al sicuro.
“Offrite sacrifici di giustizia e confidate nel Signore”

When I call upon you, answer me, Lord.
God my justice: you have freed me from anxieties.
Have mercy on me, listen to my prayer.
May the light of your face shine upon us, Lord.
You have put more joy in my heart
when wine and wheat abound.
In peace I lie down and fall asleep:
you alone, Lord, make me rest safely.
“Offer sacrifices of righteousness and trust in the Lord”

Quando Ti Invoco (Salmo 4)

The first of a four-part suite incorporating, re-orchestrating and expanding the themes originally written for my 2022 track "Year in a Day".

Winter to Spring

I'm Antonio Porrino (Tonino).
Graduated in Physics in March 1979, I was Researcher in Theoretical Nuclear Physics at the "Federico II" University of Naples until November 2019.
I studied music, initially at the Conservatory of San Pietro a Maiella in Naples and then self-taught piano, organ and composition.
I have been married to Anna since July 1982 and we have 5 children, Fabio, Luca, Francesca, Cecilia, Vincenzo and 2 grandchildren, Antonio and Sofia, Fabio's children, married to Sara.
I founded the polyphonic choir "Vicus Novanensis" in 1992 and in 2019 "I Cantori di Maria", which have collected the legacy of the numerous "long distance adoptions" of the previous choir.
The musical activity takes place mainly at the "Pontifical Minor Basilica of Maria Santissima Assunta" in Santa Maria a Vico (Italy).
I have composed music of various genres.
My music would like to express and transmit feelings of peace, serenity and joy, contrasting those of war, hatred and oppression that seem to prevail on planet Earth, causing the degradation of the natural environment that guards us.
Some of my music is also on youtube (porrinomusic)
