Claudio Ambrosini
Tutti parlano (1993)
for Soprano, Flute and Cello
Tutti parlano (Everyone speaks)
Everyone, everyone speaks
the whole world speaks:
an immense voice,
convulsive, agitated
on the surface of the earth.
Up above, up above, high above
there is silence.
Who knows why?
If by some capriccio of mystery,
a voice, a momentary voice
descended from on high,
silence would be full here,
the silence that speaks of eternity.
Virgilio Guidi (1970)
(English translation by Marlene Klein)
