To Sing . . .

"oh what a beautiful morning . . . oh what a beautiful day . . I've got a wonderful feeling, everything's going my way". These are the very words which come to mind when I awaken each morning in Puglia, Italy. I've already shared some of the magical and mysterious qualities of this place I love, but have I conveyed the intensity of the feelings which stir inside my soul?? It is like a musical, epic and grand, a song-swell of emotion, rising up from deep within my spirit. Remember the first time you saw "Oklahoma" and the music, the score so beloved, struck you some place deep and hidden . . . you sang along, didn't you? And that was just for a small, dusty track of land in the midwest of America. Can you even begin to
imagine being inspired to write the soundtrack for a place like Puglia . . . in Italia, so magical and magnificent in every sense?? Ah, the lyrics would be most poetic, a lilting off your tongue as the melody lulls your senses into a paradise, idyllic and emotional. Your body would be swaying with subtle rhythms, keeping tempo with the slight swells of the Adriatic, not wanting to interrupt the beauty with forced, nor harsh beats . . . that is not what Puglia brings to mind . . it is a spiritual place, it is melodic, it is ripe with thoughts and feelings provoked not by chaos and despair, but rather with an old-world charm, elegance and demeanor. It inspires the perfect melding of simple with complex, rustic and ornate, and nostalgia mixed with nouveau. That is the tone of all of Italy . . . a divergence of simply old and new.

Waking up in Puglia each new day is inspirational . . . to the soul, the mind and the body . . . renew your spirit with a trip to Puglia . . . find your own words, your own music and compose a masterful, melodic score for this very special place in the south of Italy . . . let Chemarci bring you the very best of this treasure, notes and lyrics included! See you soon, ciao, Cheryl
