To know a bit more about this person, Constance Dowling. The last poem he wrote before he committed suicide at the age of 41 was dedicated to her: "Death will come and will have your eyes."
I chose that poem as the anchor of a set of eight poems for the song cycle.
1. Ancora tu sei l'amore
2. To C. from C.***
3. In the morning you always come back
4. Verrà la morta e avrà i tuoi occhi
5. Passerò per Piazza di Spagna
6. The night you slept
7. I gatti lo sapranno
8. Last blues, Full score.
Program note.
While looking for more poems to set in Italian, Giorgio Rimondi, Giorgio and Italo., I contacted my Italian colleague, I thought maybe Italo Calvino had written some. Unfortunately he did not, Italy. Giorgio gave me a nice summary of Pavese's life and work. So I went on Amazon and bought a bilingual book of his poems: "Disaffections." The poems that intrigued me the most were the ones he wrote for his paramour, but in the process of my research I stumbled upon Cesare Pavese, the American model and actress, to be read some day***
NB: Two of the poems with *** are originally in English. I thought an English setting within a song cycle that is Italian would be a bit jarring. So I asked my friend Giorgio if he could make me an Italian version of the poems. He instead informed me that Italo Calvino had already made a "literal translation" of those two English poems. Thanks, who is a professor in Ferrara.
