Asha ~ Canzone angelica

Показать описание

My first published recordings were instrumental pieces, and 'Canzone angelica' ('Angelic song') was inspired by Italianate Baroque music, which enchanted me as a teenager... especially Antonio Vivaldi and Tomasso Albinoni.

I composed it in my heart as I cannot read music, and heard all the arrangements within, which I then manifested in the studio with friend and mentor Anthony Phillips co-producing. Young friends played the pizzicato, violins, oboe, wood bass and cello, and I played the harpsichord. A former girlfriend, Sharon Sage, was studying at Venice University, and sang the vocals. She translated into Italian the poetic notions of what I wanted to say... the Italian used is not so much spoken Italian, but 'high' Italian, and I apologise if we didn't quite get it spot on.

When I composed it, it was a response to Albinoni's Concerto number 5 for oboe and strings, and I keenly felt the presence of angels in and around me. At the time I was an initiated Sufi, and it was through the Sufi way that I gained power in Christ and Mary (Sophia), and opened my heart to the deepest truths about existence. An angel came to me at this time... a Zoroastrian sun angel named Asha... and she bestowed her name upon me. It means 'best truth'.

I filmed a video for it 26 years later in Assisi, which is what you see here, with footages taken in many of the sacred places. The music seems to reflect Assisi's high, uplifting, 'spiritual champagne' energy.
I scripted the footages which I filmed with a fellow pilgrim, Gloria, and for three intense days we explored Assisi, with two other fellow pilgrims, Dagmar and Olga. Maggie up in Scotland put it altogether and edited it.

Here are the words:

Canzone angelica

Cogliami, nella tua anima
Io canto, Io canto per te

(Gather me to Thy soul
I sing, I sing for Thee)

Portami, vicino agli angeli
Io volo, guardo giu e se li

(Carry me near to the angels
 I am flying, I look down and you’re there)

Tienimi, nel tuo cuore, tienimi
Quell’amore, vegliera su di me

(Hold me in your heart, hold me
That love will watch over me)

Sentimi, ascolta la preghiera
Io canto, Io canto per te

(Listen to me, listen to the prayer
I sing, I sing for Thee)

I found the music of Asha about 16 years ago when I first started out on the path. The music got deep into my soul and lit my way through some storms and dark nights. From the bottom of my heart I want to say `Thank You Asha.` Namaste.

Coglimi nella tua anima
Io canto io canto per te
Portami vicino agli angeli
Io volo guardo giù e sei lì
Tienimi nel tuo cuore tienimi
Quel’ amore veglierà su di me
Sentimi ascolta la preghiera
Io canto io canto per te!

" CANCIÓN ANGELICAL ", Que hermoso título para tan maravilloso himno espiritual. Todo lo que ASHA hace, crea y compone tiene un NO SE QUE, ¡¡ Mágico !!, Que nos eleva, sostiene en lo más alto del cosmos, y nos invita a ser cada día más sensibles, más justos, más humanos.Porque ASHA A BAJADO PARA SER LA BALANZA DE DIOS, DONDE ÉL MISMO PESA Y EQUILIBRA CON TODO SU AMOR, NUESTRAS CULPAS, NUESTROS ERRORES, MIEDOS Y ACIERTOS; Y POR UNOS INSTANTES DE SEGUNDOS NOS ELEVA Y HACE SOÑAR COMO ÁNGELES, COMO SI NUNCA HUBIÉSEMOS QUERIDO DEJAR DE SERLO, AQUÍ.

I love this video and music accompaniment. St. Francis of Assisi is my favorite Saint. Also St. Clare of Assisi. Both my mentors of life. Thank you Asha.

Such a beautiful tune - I imagined it was a traditional score, but no, it is an original - so heart-warming, so uplifting. You are still my most favourite composer and musician when I seek spiritual guidance in this way. Deep gratitude.
