I want to take you to a little room
A little room where all the roses bloom
I want to lead you into Nature's hall
Where ev'ry year the roses give a ball
They have an orchestra up in the trees
For their musicians are the birds and bees
And they will sing us a song
As we are strolling along
In sunny Roseland, where summer breezes are playing
Where the honey bees are "A-Maying"
There all the roses are swaying
Dancing while the meadow brook flows
The moon when shining is more than ever designing
For 'tis ever then I am pining
Pining to be sweetly reclining
Somewhere in Roseland
Beside a beautiful rose
The ball is over and tulips meet
Their little kisses are so short and sweet
The lilies nod to the forget-me-nots
When they're departing in their flower pots
But all the roses with their spirits high
Remain to love until they droop and die
And dear, why shouldn't it be
Just so with you and with me
In sunny Roseland, where summer breezes are playing
Where the honey bees are "A-Maying"
There all the roses are swaying
Dancing while the meadow brook flows
The moon when shining is more than ever designing
For 'tis ever then I am pining
Pining to be sweetly reclining
Somewhere in Roseland
Beside a beautiful rose
Edward Kennedy Ellington, noto come Duke Ellington, è stato un leggendario direttore d'orchestra, compositore e pianista jazz statunitense. Nato a Washington D.C. nel 1899, Ellington ha trascorso la sua vita a plasmare il panorama musicale americano. Iniziò suonando al piano in locali di Washington prima di trasferirsi a New York nel 1923, dove formò la sua band, inizialmente chiamata "The Duke's Orchestra". L'orchestra di Ellington divenne rapidamente una delle più famose del mondo, grazie alla sua musica innovativa e alle performance energiche. Ellington era un maestro nell'arte della composizione jazz, creando brani iconici come "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)", "Take the 'A' Train" e "Mood Indigo". Il suo stile musicale si caratterizzava per l'uso di melodie memorabili, arrangiamenti complessi e un ritmo contagioso. Ellington ha collaborato con alcuni dei più grandi musicisti jazz del XX secolo, tra cui Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday e Johnny Hodges. La sua influenza sul jazz è stata immensa, ispirando generazioni di musicisti e contribuendo a definire l'identità musicale americana. Ellington è morto nel 1974, lasciando un patrimonio musicale straordinario che continua ad essere apprezzato in tutto il mondo.
