Carmen Pathetique

‘Carmen’ is a Latin term for ‘song’, a term used in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance for many types of song, usually to lyric poetry. In Roman mythology, Carmenta was the goddess of childbirth and prophecy, associated with technological innovation as well as the protection of mothers and children, and a patron of midwives. She was also said to have invented the Latin alphabet. Her name is derived from Latin carmen, meaning a magic spell, oracle or song, and also the root of the English word charm.

‘Pathetique’ refers to being capable of, evoking, or marked by strong emotions such as melancholy, pity, sadness, sorrow, suffering, sympathy, tenderness. ‘Pathetique’ therefore may be rendered as affecting, passionate, pitiable, or sad. Side by side together in harmony, it is my honor to present you… Carmen Pathetique… where ‘Pathetic Poet Passionate Poetry’ comes to life…
