Program note.
I came upon this idea for a song cycle by the most bizarre happenstance. I took a very nice photo while in Rome, my usual vacation spot over winter break, of the number 28. Numbers always fascinated me, so I was wondering if there were any significance to the number 28. I did a google search and discovered that the number has some "magical" aspects to it. For example, 1+2+3+4+5+6+7 = 28. It is also the sum of the first five prime numbers: 2+3+5+7+11 = 28. It is also the sum of its first five nonprime: 1+4+6+8+9 = 28. There are many other "magical" properties as well, but I will let the mathematicians go down that rabbit hole!
Then I asked ChatGPT if there were any poems in Italian or French in which the number 28 is prominently featured. It said that Gabriele D'Annunzio wrote a poem called "Il Ventotto di Luglio." ChatGPT also told me that the poem is about the beginning of World War I when Austria-Hungary invaded Serbia. It told me to find it in his magnum opus, "Laudi del cielo, del mare, della terra e degli eroi, 1903-1912." I looked it up on Google and discovered that it is a huge book in five volumes. So I thought maybe I should ask some of my friends who are Italophiles if they knew something about this July 28th poem.
Eileen Gardner (she and her husband Ron Musto are the publishers of Italica Press) replied and told me that "Il Ventotto di Luglio" does not exist. ChatGPT made it up!!! But she did tell me that D'Annunzio wrote a poem "Beatitudine" on July 28, 1902. That poem is in his book "Laudi." Another fun fact, he married his first wife Maria Hardouin on July 28, 1883.
So, I started looking inside "Laudi" and found a really nice poem in the third volume Alcyone called "Madrigali dell'Estate." It is in eleven parts.
