>Dear Prof. Kroha,
>My name is Yaron, I am a graduate student in composition at Stanford
>University. I am writing to you in hope you can assist me. I've
>just begun working on the final project of my dissertation. This
>will be a vocal piece and I am in the process of searching for an
>inspiring text. I remember reading some bilingual poetry in Italian
>and Hebrew a while ago and I believe it would interesting to set
>them to music . Especially, I am interested in poems that can be
>read either in Hebrew or in Italian (such as the famous one by Leone
>Modena) or echo poems where one language echoes the other. For now I
>know of only two poems: the one by Modena and another poem by
>Efraim Luzzatto (the one that begins with ah! l'uom misero e' which
>I felt is interesting but not very profound). I know that a large
>amount of poetry was written in the 16th and 17th centuries and it
>would be kind of challenging to dig out the good ones.
>If you know of and can recommend any poetry that I can look at, I
>would very much appreciate it. Hopefully I would find an inspiring
>text to work with.
>Many thanks,
>Yaron Sokolov.
