so prolific he could not cease

Priest Antonio Vivaldi of Venice
wrote Farnace an opera piece
It was Vatican barred for 300 years
happily in 2022 we now will hear
Requiem
The map to Requiem
Is often long, confused, and composed
By differing charters...Also
Too layered to sort. So many movements!
Even the very shortest of lives
Could story a magnum opus
When tracked to its core.
A Requiem for one elderly
Could fill an orchestra’s entire concert
Season of song!
The roads to a Requiem
Course singularly in God’s memory,
Fully in the graces of his harmony.

With help from Antonio Vivaldi
***Thank be to God!
Antonio Vivaldi-
a seasoned composer
Like the alarming abandon
& disarray of Jackson Pollack,
equally beguiling disciplined
skills as in classically baroque
airs of Antonio Vivaldi,
'midst the wonderment and
wanderlust of a child,
I'm awe inspired & unfurled betwixt
your captivating demeanor
A genius,of prolific reportoire
Came to fame with an orphan choir,
Lionized, then abandoned to the past-
Now his violins play breathtakingly fast
In seasonal works ,written to last.
