Puedo Escribir by Pamela Illanes-Tatsuoka Composer published on 2024-01-08T00:24:33Z I am so excited about collaborating with soprano Maribel Villarroel and arranger and pianist René Calderón. The lyrics are from the Pablo Neruda poem "Puedo Escribir" in the book "Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair". Translated by W.S Merwin. Permission has been granted by Fundación Pablo Neruda. Puedo Escribir (Letras de Pablo Neruda) Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche. Escribir por ejemplo: “La noche está estrellada, y tiritan, azules, los astros, a lo lejos.” Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche. Yo la quise, y a veces ella también me quiso. Oir la noche inmensa, más inmensa sin ella. Y el verso cae al alma como al pasto el rocío. Eso es todo. A lo lejos alguien canta. A lo lejos. Mi alma no se contenta con haberla perdido. Tonight I Can Write (Lyrics by Pablo Neruda) Tonight I can write the saddest lines. Write, for example, “The night is starry and the stars are blue and shiver in the distance.” Tonight I can write the saddest lines. I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too. To hear the immense night, still more immense without her. And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture. This is all. In the distance, someone is singing. In the distance. My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her. This song was also performed live at "La Chascona", the former home and now museum of Pablo Neruda in Bella Vista, Santiago: https://youtu.be/vzz8tY0CYLk?si=ZfYIat6iL69p2FW4 "Canciones para Pablo Neruda" is a book of musical scores for songs based on lyrics by Pablo Neruda as well as artwork from some of Chile's greatest artists: https://www.amazon.com/Canciones-Para-Pablo-Neruda-Spanish/dp/9564163218/ref=sr_1_1crid=WRKWVK3QHPRL&keywords=canciones+para+pablo+neruda&qid=1704674603&sprefix=%2Caps%2C108&sr=8-1 The album is coming!

Had to hear this again. Beautiful beautiful piano and arrangement by René Calderón. Pamela's compositions are so intricate, delicate, other-worldly, and beautiful that how the piece is arranged is enormously important (noting the cautionary tale of Rachmaninoff's first symphony receiving a poor reception due to a poor arrangement by a constantly intoxicated conductor). First class arrangement by René Calderón, and Maribel's voice is hauntingly beautiful. Wonderful collaboration! 2024-01-24T22:52:33Z Comment by Sandú Brus- Songs from my guitar and my heart wonderful ! 2024-01-24T18:25:57Z Comment by Jonathan Beckenstein Waves of pleasure.

A magnificent work, and such a perfect match for voice and piano. Inspiring! 2024-01-22T18:27:46Z Comment by Vintage Mutation Puedo Escribir: "Music that reflects all the feelings of the fantastic Pablo Neruda's poem. The "feeling" of the Latin poem is permeated in my veins, considering that Brazil / Chile and their histories are closely linked". — "The enchanting voice of soprano Maribel, enriched with precious tones, sounded by each key of this wonderful piano, gives us a timeless masterpiece, where virtue and inspiration eternalize the Supreme Art". Magnificent! 2024-01-20T14:10:47Z Comment by Audio Colors Wonderful voice and composition as well !!! 2024-01-17T21:42:43Z Comment by Dgé breton Brillant composition and collaboration with nice vocal and sound. 😘 2024-01-17T18:03:48Z Comment by Jesus Flores Guitarrista beautiful 2024-01-17T02:04:27Z Comment by LOONY DE BUSSY That is terribly beautiful 💔💎🙏 2024-01-16T20:37:07Z Comment by Jim Mcgill Brilliant piece of music for those lyrics Pamela, and fine musicians to match, sounds huge and great 2024-01-15T10:00:12Z Comment by Trancix Like the opera performance and I appreciate the beautiful composition!
