Cercavo oggi il testo di questa Passacaglia della vita (titolo ben strano... più "della morte" direi), e l'ho trovato proprio sul nostro sito. Franco Battiato ha utilizzato parte del testo per la sua "Passacaglia" ma preferisco la versione originale. Marco Beasley e l'Arpeggiata sono bravissimi, strepitosa anche la versione del Canto dei Sanfedisti.

I was looking for the meaning behind Quiet Desperation lyrics. I am writing a book on a choir who were drawn originally from homelessness. There was a documentary on the choir in Nov. 2014. I am now writing their story. Music has saved their lives. I am giving each chapter the title of a song. I was going to use the title Quiet Desperation . The choir have sang this song. They have sang it with a very famous Irish Folk singer Christy Moore. It is a very beautiful song. Can I use the title? I will acknowledge whatever you wish me to do. I am donating all the proceeds of my book to keep the choir going. They have found COVID very difficult.
Thank you. Cathy McCarthy, Dublin Ireland
