Rondeau Prestige . . . but only had a chance to listen once. I am hoping to go back and listen again.

Great, it's good to know someone like it. It needed a lot of work, nearly a month, mostly to find new interesting ideas to keep it going for around 15 mins! And I kept the Fuga for the conclusive theme because I think counterpoint is still the more challenging and interesting form of music.

[Kevin]

How do we listen to your music on here Paolo?

Paolo, I especially liked the placement of the fuga, in context rather than just a movement on its own. Very nice.

Kevin, to listen, follow the link to the radio Paolo provided and then peruse unknown artists. Paolo is a bit down the list.

[paoloeriani]

I have a site too, that I placed on my profile, where I placed the pieces I have been able to make a recording. And I putted some piece on Youtube too, of course.
Joseph, I saw you gave an italian title to some of your pieces, do you know italian?

A lifelong desire that today enlists the aid of dictionaries and translation tools and, of course, cugini to get it all correctly in place. My hearing is only about 50% so it is hard for me now more than ever to understand what I hear. I am spending more time trying to understand what I read. My last attempt at the language was text for an art song. Quando finito circa 75% dei paroli scritto era buon, il mio cugino aiuto me e corretto le bozze. Vede? i miei sintassi è povero

[Kevin]

Oh that text!!?

OUCH!!

[paoloeriani]

Yes, it's still a problem to translate with an online program, but the Google Translator isn't soo bad, even if it has some problem translating from english to italian, so it's not so reliable for a professional result. Sure a cousin that knows italian is better! In your sentence you make a big confusion between masculine and feminine words, as you know if learned a bit of italian (and that's the same for spanish, portuguese and french), word names have a "sex".

Paolo, puoi dire mi le parole che non sono corretti?
I'd appreciate it if you could point out the words that are mismatched. I'll also take a look again myself to see if I can spot the errors. Joseph

[paoloeriani]

I didn't read the song lyrics, if you meant that, I was referring to this sentence: Quando finito circa 75% dei paroli scritto era buon, il mio cugino aiuto me e corretto le bozze. Vede? i miei sintassi è povero
The right sentence is: Quando avevo finito, circa il 75% delle parole (parola is a feminine word) scritte erano buone, mio cugino "poi" mi aiutò (in this cases we switch from "me" to "mi" and put it before the verb) e corresse le bozze. Vedi? La mia sintassi (feminine word) è povera.
I didn't see the song lyrics when I heard it, if you can pass them to me I'll check them out, cheers Paolo. -

paolo, grazie per la lezione. Scuola era molti anni fa . . . ;D

What I may say about your lyrics for the song "Solo amore" is that in italian, in the way you wrote it, is used the determinative article on the subject, so "Solo l'amore".
Here how it should be wrote:
Solo l'amore nel mondo può guarire
solo l'amore può fermare la follia: you can change it with "soltanto l'amore può fermare la follia"
l'amore è il regalo
il regalo che porta pace
l'amore "è" il regalo che "riporta" "la" sanità: here you missed the accent on the "e" and "ritorna" is used only in some dialect from south Italy
può calmare il mare
solo l'amore
solo l'amore
con l'amore "nei" nostri cuori
la via è chiara
aprit'i cuori
l'amore libera
solo l'amore può liberare la gente!
aprit'i cuori
e quando si da (or perhaps "dona") Amore, l'Amore torna a voi.

Paolo, many thanks for providing some insight. I can't believe I missed an accent! I tried so hard to make sure i had them all.
Funny thing, in my original draft I had the article. My editor suggested I could take some liberties with articles when constructing lyrics. I'll put the articles back in. I don't think i can squeeze in soltanto and maintain the melodic line, I'll look at it. And indeed, our families are from the south, hence ritorna! Now let me ask you an artisitc question. Rather than può calmare il mare I'd originally written può arginare la marea. My cousin suggested what is in the music at this time offering it would be more colloquial. Would it be too far afield to go with my original choice? Being colloquial is fine but sometimes I think we need to stretch the poetry. I am very interested in your opinion on this choice. Again, "mille grazie per la tua aiuta" [?] Joseph

Oh, one last question, in the context is sanità understood to mean sanity?

[paoloeriani]

Well, maybe your publisher is english mother language so he misses the importance of the articles in italian, expecially for the subject. It can be said Solo amore, like in Io cerco solo amore (I seek only love), but it's another contest, Amore isn't the subject of the sentence.
For the artistic question: può arginare la marea isn't really the same as può calmare il mare. The meaning is quite different, in the first you talk about the quite rising of the sea moved by the moon. In the latter you understate something more violent like a sea shaked by a storm. So it depends only on you.

Great! In english the idea is only love can stem the tide or read another way only love can hold back the tide. And yes, I think my original text is more in line with what I want to say. So, if I may imply from your note that my text is viable I will change it! Paolo, I am so very pleased we have had this 'conversation'. I cannot thank you enough. Joseph

Oh, I meant also to ask why dona instead of dà?

[paoloeriani]

Thank you Joseph, the pleasure was mine. I said "dona" because usually it's used to refer to love as a gift so "donare" (to donate) and not "dare" (to give).
And about this sentence: Again, "mille grazie per la tua aiuta" [?] Joseph, the right italian is: "mille grazie per il tuo aiuto", because "aiuto" is a masculine word.
Cheers, Paolo. -

sei molto gentile, Paolo, per la lingua ho una testa dura (nella mia famiglia dicono "capo dost'" )

[paoloeriani]

You are welcome, the correct dialectal sentence is "tieni 'a capa tosta!". Though, saying "aiuta" isn't always incorrect, it all depends on the situation. In some cases, as for exemple: lui mi aiuta (he helps me) or chi mi aiuta? (who help me?), is correct. In other cases "aiuto" ends with a "i", like: non c'è nessuno che mi aiuti? (there is noone that help me?). It all depends on the situation and to understand it needs as always some practicing!
