Cum verba deficiunt musica sonat et amor praestat. - When words fail music speaks and love prevails.
A lover of the latin language and music in all its kinds and genres. Always eager to find new music love and explore the depth of songs, their structures and concepts, to indulge in melodies and eventually to be outspoken about the tonal and compositional gems I came upon thereby.
