sinfoniacontemparis

I am a beginner also, although do very little writing in latin. My translation for stanza 2 - In the forest sing many birds They make verses from the trees and heavens (??) While I think and listen (secretly) To the silent voices of the ancients Yikes...that might be way off.

Your text is really beautiful. Would you allow others to set this? Is this translation more or less correct?... I hear silent voices in the forest In (between) the leaves and ancient stumps (?) No one is near, but I hear those ancient silent voices I didn't listen to your setting, only because I would like to set it myself. Please let me know if that's ok with you.

Please refer further questions to email or private messaging.

That's fine Nickthoven.

I am a composer myself and have no interest in stealing your work! I don't know how to prove it to you...but if you put copyright symbols on the work or maybe sign each page, I will have a hard time stealing it! Honestly, this is not my intention.
