It has been recorded by David Agnew as "Gabriel's Oboe" here in Ireland but, we are informed is more accurately called "Nella Fantasia". Can anyone give any more info, eg a Lyric, if any and perhaps even the music score?? We would be very grateful!

I couldn't identify the two small clips (Amazon) provided. Sarah Brightman sings the Italian song, Nella Fantasia. Words are here: Nella Fantasia Music by Morricone, lyrics (later by Ferraú). Some notes on the song are given. |

IN MY FANTASY In my fantasy, I see a fair world, Where everyone lives in peace and honesty. I dream of a place to live that is always free, Like a cloud that floats, Full of humanity in the depths of the soul. In my fantasy I see a bright world Where each night there is less darkness. I dream of spirits that are always free, Like the cloud that floats. In my fantasy exists a warm wind, That breathes into the city, like a friend. I dream of souls that are always free, Like the cloud that floats, Full of humanity in the depths of the soul. Not the best translation of the Italian into English, but the meaning is still beautifully expressed. (by Mike Smith and William Beaudin, see the Brightman website given above). I saw "The Mission," about the Christianizing and subjugation of the natives; a most disturbing film. |
