“And in your heart inurn me” is the phrase that closes John Keats’ poem “You say you love” and is the title of the fourth Monjoie album. The album focuses on some of the greatest exponents of English poetry between the end of the eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth century, the poets in question are William Blake, John Keats, William Wordsworth.
The choice of poems, sung in English and proposed here in song form, does not follow a specific historical or literary research, more simply a direct, instinctive, almost epidermal relationship with the poet’s lyrics. Blake’s conflictual relationship with religion and the futuristic meaning he gives to infinity, the alleged love without half measures by Keats, the elegance and delicacy of Wordsworth’s naturalistic design. distant words and images are grasped, absorbed, trying to discern that pathos, whilst writing a free story.
“and in your heart inurn me” can be defined as a concept album, the 15 tracks that compose it are born voice and piano from the collaboration between Alessandro Brocchi, singer guitarist of Monjoie and Daniele Marini keyboard player of OGM, to which were added other historical components of the Monjoie, Valter Rosa: guitars and bouzuki, Davide Baglietto: flutes, ocarinas, musette of Berry, piano and organ and Alessandro Mazzitelli: keyboards, analog synths, bass and production.
To the compositions musicians ranging in different musical fields have collaborated , making the project heterogeneous. Arrangements with jazz references alternate with pieces of folk matrix, analogue electronics, and a melancholic neoclassicism.
