Jazz Chimera
Beat the drum to start the tempo;
strike the cymbals
for a silvery tone;
sound the sax
for an indigo mood;
let the horn sing out in despair.
Sing all
with disconcerted sounds.
Combine the pastoral
to the storm
with clarinets and strings,
the thunder with the base
and the fury of a gong.
Let the bodies quiver from within
and build
the jazz's chimerical beat
into a tantrum
of ecstatic expectation.

Sera D'Ottobre
Penombre di nuvole rosse
affiancano l'orizzonte lontano
sfolgorato di un sole d'autunno
e con se si fonde il mio animo.
La sera silenziosamente scende
nel cinguettio frenetico di uccelli
sugli alberi che non son piu di ieri
--Adolph Caso
On the evening in October
Shadows of red clouds
alongside the distant horizon
shone forth of an autumn sun
and if it melts my heart .
The evening falls silently
the frantic chirping of birds
trees which are not more than yesterday

Confessione
Musica,
divinamente
mi arrivi
e investi i miei sensi.
L'anima trema
incontrollabile:
Dio! io dico
L'estasi esclama!
--Adolph Caso

Confession
Music,
divinely
I arrive
and invest my senses.
The soul trembles
uncontrollable:
God! I say
The ecstasy exclaims!
