A song by my friend William Sveglini, whom I had contacted around 2000 through the "Composers' Forum". I have sung it in my one-man-choir "dwsChorale".

We considered ourselves to be in a sort of nomansland sociologically, each for different reasons, but the Vosges valleys provided the most beautiful "nomansland" imaginable for our discussions. This song is the slightly mystical, and somewhat understated, memory of those days: Here in nomansland where all had fled the weather we waited patiently and enjoyed God's sun together Here in nomansland a grandson of Adam residing in his earthly grandfather's home the woods and sun presiding Here in nomansland Hermes' and Aphrodite's son sings cuckoo to the ill-shorn mountain top and then is gone Here in nomansland we sing to the other's consolation whilst peaceful dog and cows look on at our natural perchance divine oration  less

Every day I think of her because she was a great angel in my career. She opened the doors to Europe for me and helped me a lot to grow my career. She was also the musical godmother of hundreds of people to whom with Epilogi she gave education and showed them a passion. She organized festivals that boosted the culture of choral music in Europe and also did everything with unparalleled energy and joy. She was a woman who inspired me, who inspired us and was a great friend in my life. Thank you Angelina. Santiago Veros  less
