Epitaffio

by Antico Lunario

supported by

Eco_Musicologist thumbnail
Eco_Musicologist An 'antique' miniature which needs to be listened to carefully. Eyes-closed, one can perceive the details of a precious arrangement which welcomes a heterogeneity of "endangered" timbres combined within a definitely lively and creative musical frame such as acoustic prog-rock. Favorite track: Della Risacca che Culla.

[Lyrics] Land of bear and land of eagle Land that gave us birth and blessing Land that called us ever homewards We will go home across the mountains We will go home, we will go home We will go home across the mountains We will go home, we will go home We will go home across the mountains Land of freedom land of heroes Land that gave us hope and memories Hear our singing hear our longing We will go home across the mountains We will go home, we will go home We will go home across the mountains We will go home, we will go home We will go home across the mountains Land of sun and land of moonlight Land that gave us joy and sorrow Land that gave us love and laughter We will go home across the mountains We will go home, we will go home We will go home across the mountains We will go home, we will go home We will go home across the mountains When the land is there before us We have gone home across the mountains

[Lyrics] Vento, che spiri tra i colli E tra le fronde Quando il giorno s’apre Dal nostro sole Mi rivolgo a voi E ai doni di voce Richiamando l’anima Dal perpetuo sonno Padre, Madre Vita e Profeta Fattore, Poeta Forgia e Fabbro Soffio di vita, Come te, sospiro Al cuore del cielo… Alla notte e alle stelle, Al sole e alla luna, Al monte e alle selve…. Alle note e alla musa, Al bere e al brolo, Come me, che spero! Tu, che canti alla spuma, Per cui danzano le onde, Prendi il richiamo! Tua è l’anima Che pervade la terra Tua è l’anima Del Silvestre Lambire Tua è la voce Del più vecchio amico Tuo è il respiro Che fa innalzare Tua è la voce Del più vecchio amico Tuo è il respiro Che fa innalzare Vento, che spiri tra i colli E tra le fronde Quando il giorno s’apre Dal nostro sole Vento... Vento... Vento, che spiri tra i colli E tra le fronde Quando il giorno s’apre Dal nostro sole Sole...

Del Tramonto Bramante 04:13
lyrics

[Lyrics] La pioggia iniziò a cadere La notte dischiuse il suo sguardo Quando giunsi al piccolo stagno Che si celava aldilà del bosco Un piccolo spettro giocava stupito La sua voce madreperla Vorrete ora – oh – mia signora Concedermi la vostra mano E lasciarvi condurre sotto i veli del cielo I suoi occhi d’oro puro Mentre lieta e leggiadra Scivolava sulle acque E la pioggia l’avviluppò Un fulmine rischiarì il cielo Ma la sua violenza non la disturbò Un timpano e il rombo di tuono, un bagliore bluastro mi inondò Un tratto fuggendo, eppure li vidi, riccioli ambrati danzare nel vento Occhi di fuoco e pelle di luna Dolci le labbra coperte di bruma Venite ora via con me Verso quel tempo che in un sogno svanì Vorrete ora – oh – mia signora Concedermi la vostra mano E lasciarvi condurre sotto i veli del cielo Sotto l’oscura notte che di oro risplende Ricoperta di stelle mentre la luna ci ammira silente Quando infine mi riebbi Ero solo sulla sponda erbosa Pioggia ormai scordata E su di me la luna incantata Alzai lo sguardo e lei era lì Soave e lucente, argentea e potente Sentii che il mio spirito mi sfuggì Quando una voce il mio nome invocò

Sulla Trepidazione 03:33
lyrics

[Lyrics] Rugginoso sol Bosco di nebbia Un posto cerco In cui svanir Come da un portale Spero in grazia Cosa dovrei far? Discendo lo so… Cammino tra alberi Sento come un’ombra Figura scura Proprio dietro me Scappa scappa via Attraverso il bosco Là, un rifugio Un bel sonno! Secondi, minuti Ore, giorni Settimane, mesi, Anni… Così tanto tempo è passato… Le stagioni cambiano, Svegliati! E qui io sono, uscendo fuori Da questo oscuro, turpe rifugio Muoviamoci insieme Tetra e uggiosa terra Errante fino al mio vespro No, no, no! Devo trovare conciliazione!

[Lyrics] Ora riposa Ti culla la risacca Del mare eterno Padre benevolo Lucida realtà Perla d'immensità Mi immergo nei tuoi segreti (annego nei miei segreti) D'immortalità È la fine di questo, mio, viaggio È la fine di questo mio, tempo Ora che hai saputo e sentito Dovrai tornare Custode di note Custode del senso Tu ora non capisci Ma vedrai, a suo tempo

about

They say about us...

"The group really shines when styles blend in tracks like “Epitaffio.” The record sounds very organically created and as though the band recorded live in one take. Our imagination even leans toward the band sitting at a campsite or fireside playing." — William Zimmerman (The Noise Beneath the Snow, New Dark Ages PR)
noisebeneaththesnow.com/2019/12/17/antico-lunario-epitaffio-album-review-neo-folk/

"A little release that creates a world of its own, where the wood, the strings, the voices and the Nature define its precise coordinates." — Simone Lanzoni (Eva Can't, ex-In Tormentata Quiete, ex-Malnàtt)

"What erupts from listening to "Epitaffio" is a feeling of freedom, of Nature and ancient ages at times obscure and in other times clearer." — Massimo "Max" Salari (Rock Hard, NonSolo ProgRock, Rock Impressions)

"The general "feeling" tends towards enchanted atmospheres of lost times and makes you imagine majestic castles." — Cesare Buttaboni (Ver Sacrum)

"We Will Go Home" is re-arranged from the Caitlin Matthews version (also known as "Song of the Exile") off "King Arthur" film.
"Silvestre Lambire", "Del Tramonto Bramante", "Sulla Trepidazione", "Della Risacca che Culla" are original compositions.
"Epitaffio" is mostly original. The outro section is a re-arranged version of "Seikilos epitaph", ancient greek composition dated between 2nd century B.C. and 1st century A.D.
