MUSIC FOR POEMS
ELISABETTA ANTONINI QUARTET/QUINTET
A virtual encounter with poets, through their pages and their narrative voices, a visionary and surreal journey to explore the link between the author’s word and composition, between blank verse and improvised music, both authentic, intimate, refined, urgent. An emotional dimension, the poetry, that strongly inspired Elisabetta Antonini one of her most important works as a jazz musicians, the award-winning album THE BEAT GOES ON – Homage to The Beat Generation, produced and published by Alan Bats from Candid Records, as well as other compositions written using poems and recorded in other albums.
Blake, Ginsberg, Omero, Kerouac, Corso, Bukowski are some of the authors who offer words of infinite beauty and inspire songs, sound architectures, instrumental and vocalized melodies which in turn restore strength and vigor to the poetic suggestions.
Making use of diversified ensembles but still made of extremely sensitive and creative collaborators, and supported by electronics colours and the use of samples and vocal filters, Antonini offers landscapes of great impact.
Any projections and evocative images of the time can enrich the project.

REQUIEM FOR “BIRD” PARKER (excerpt)
Then came a nowhere bird
Yeah, a nowhere bird-
While BIRD was blowin’
Another bird came
An unreal bird
A nowhere bird with big draggy wings
BIRD paid it no mind; just kept on blowin’
And the cornball came on comin’
Right, like that’s what I heard
The draggy bird landed in front of BIRD
Looked BIRD straight in the eye
BIRD said: “cool it”
And kept on blowin’
Seems like BIRD put the square bird down
Only for a while, man
The nowhere bird began to foam from the mouth
Making all kinds of discords
“man, like make it somewhere else”, BIRD implored
But the nowhere bird paced back and forth
Like an old miser with a nowhere scheme
Yeah, by the time BIRD realized the fake
Had come to goof
BIRD was about to split, when all of a sudden
The nowhere bird sunk its beady head
Into the barrel of BIRD’s horn
Bugged, BIRD blew a long crazy note
It was his last, man, his last
The draggy bird ran death into BIRD’s throat
And the whole building rumbled
When BIRD let ho his horn
And the sky got blacker…blacker
And the nowhere bird wrapped its muddy wings round BIRD
Brought BIRD down
All the way down
BIRD is dead
BIRD is dead
Yeah, yeah
Wail for BIRD
For BIRD is dead -
