Cantico dei Cantici Vol. 1 eng
by Nicola Bortone ITA
**“Nicola and I shared a dream, and we made it come true. I still remember it… I was in my room, barely eighteen, playing a draft of Vieni dal Libano on my guitar for him. Then I told him about the idea of setting to music not just a single song, but the entire biblical poem—the Song of Songs. I mentioned it casually, just as a thought. After all, for us—two aspiring musicians who had worn out concept albums—it was simply a matter of starting from a text that was already written. Then, without even needing further details, he replied: ‘…shall we do it?!’ And in that phrase, there was already all the determination that, within three years, would lead us to complete our work. For me, that was undoubtedly the beginning of everything.”**
