Video recreated in honour of the composer
Vidi una porta, e tre gradi di sotto
per gire ad essa, di color diversi,
e un portier ch' ancor non facea motto.
[I saw a portal, and three stairs beneath,
Diverse in colour, to go up to it,
and a gate-keeper, who yet spake no word]
Poi pinse l' uscio a la porta sacrata,

che di fuor torna chi ' n dietro si guata"
[Then pushed the portals Of the sacred door,
Exclaiming: “Enter; but I give you warning
That forth returns whoever looks behind.”]
Io mi rivolsi attento al primo tuono,
e ' Te Deum laudamus' mi parea
udire in voce mista al dolce suono.
[At the first thunder-peal I turned attentive,
and _”Te Deum laudamus”_ seemed to hear
In voices mingled with sweet melody.] less
