1.
Rondeau 02:33
Fierce extravagance of Nature balleting before my eyes, feast of clangours and perpetual dance of flares in any guise, since so long I contemplate you, marveling and scrutinizing, wisdom words I got to wrest from the enigmatic gaze of skies. To this keeper I entrust them and deliver them to centuries to be fathomed as they mature, even those my time denies. Dastardly the law of men, forged alike from their barbarity, but the contrivance of writing speaks to Eternity and survives.
2.
Fulgent tapestries sorround me and the longest shadow towers. Embraced by warm ripple of candlelight, soul is relieved, vision empowered. Gently unveils to me this crepuscular glare of wisdom what the kingdom of daylight slyly hides among the shrewings. How much brighter these brown ruins than their pale forgotten ghosts and how desperate who struggles for the beauty that was lost. As painful as it is, Present is the sweetest of all things, as well as the only that exists.
3.
Somnium I 05:14
Tangled eyelids dangling head, suddenly I found myself as hanging into a mesmerizing dream. Blowing hard this obscure wind and taking mastery of my sails, I would joyfully surrend to the mystery of my drift. How puerile I realised to be the crave for any harbourage; on the contrary the Wise brave and reckless acquiesces to be rattled by the tides of the thousand courses stream.
4.
Black River 05:09
There's an army of black infantrymen marching at a pounding pace without rest and with no falter heading to the end of days, pushing towards one another. Of the unstoppable parade no man can stand in the way for they have no mercy, they have no quarter. Could you freeze all streaming waters of the world, still couldn't bathe in the same fresh river twice: by the time you soak your limbs the same man you'd be no more. I've observed the rillet flow and zephyrs glide a kindred way and how perishes each moment, Death being fact of everyday.
5.
I drag myself on crackling bones like spectre in its chains, since centuries observing the black army endless flow. I wondered for so long where was it marching towards then finally this morning they came knocking at my door. Ambassador declames the thumping words of my recall, I'm summoned back to Eternity by emperor decree. So let the crazy dance begin and blow the wind of change, let's feed the holy flames as they consume my own.
6.
Nameless 03:44
As mind expands to infinity, to Eternity the soul, the wise ascends to beatitude, the mage speaks to the moon. What's witnessed from earth instead is just a man who inertly degrades himself into a demented fool. If you want to once again feel the glance of your beloved companion friend or brother, in my gaze take profound stare. As next time you meet my eyes in your deluded heart you'll find of these old solaces only the mute reverb.
7.
Animal consciousness hero of the grief stands on its claws in ferocious revolt defying the laws of the merciless chief. No escape or victory to which could aspire but as stubborn fire continues to run and shines like the thundering flares of the Sun. As wave in the sea head rises and screams for the glinding entire in marvelous sheen 'til terminal thud plunging back to the abyss.
8.
Ashes 04:21
Only in the end a dark fistful of ashes comrades and followers hold in their hand. And wonder through gashes what now about the dare, the dazzling fire that once used to glare.

about

"Crepuscular Glare of Wisdom" is a collection of instrumental musical compositions of a meditative nature, based on an anonymous manuscript found in the State Archives of Verona, sort of private philosofical diary of an erudite personality, possibly a monk, from the 16th century.
In addition to music, the most significant passages of the source work have been transposed into short poems in English.
