Lead Me Unto Peace

Toward Eternal Shores

HUN (scroll down for the English description):

Ez a darab egy szimfónikus költemény az univerzumban található hatalmas gáz formációkról, melyeket "csillagködök"-nek neveznek. Zeneileg olyan színeket próbáltam festeni, melyek kellően leírják ezeknek a felhőknek az elképesztő méretét, de ugyanakkor tartózkodtam attól, hogy túlságosan rideg vagy földönkívűli hatása legyen a darabnak.

A kotta olyan jegyzeteket is tartalmaz, melyek leírják éppen mit fejez ki az adott szekció. Ezek a szakaszok itt találhatók:

00:00 - Felnézve a csillagokkal teli égre...
01:24 - ...a Tejút rendszeren keresztül.
01:45 - Fordul a teleszkóp.
02:21 - "Csillagködök" főtéma.
03:12 - Csillagcsoportok.
03:32 - Hidrogénből hélium.
04:40 - Csillagfényben úszó hatalmas fellegek.
05:20 - A teremtett világ sóhajai.
06:51 - Hírdetnek, bár nincs szavuk!
07:36 - "...annyian lesznek, mint égen a csillag."
08:31 - Csillagködök.

A főbb zenei tulajdonságok közé tartozik a főtéma, mely a lydiai skálára utal, a lydiai 4-3 késleltetés és a pulzárok hangjainak ábrázolása a basszus dob, az üst dob, valamnt különbőző modernebb vonós technikákkal. Az utóbbiak a világegyetem folyamatos lüktetését is felvázolják.

Stílusi szempontokból a darab sokat merít Howard Shore "A Gyűrűk Urá"-ra írott zenéjéből, valamint általánosságban John Williams műveiből. 3:03-nál egy kifejezetten Shore-szerű késleltetés található.

A darab végig utal a világegyetem folyamatos morajlására, mely Isten dicsőségét hírdeti.

ENG:

This piece is a symphonic poem about the giant gas formations in the universe known as 'Nebulae'. Musically I tried to create a sound that appropriately describes the vastness of these clouds but at the same time does not create an eerie or alien sound. 

Being a programmatic piece of music, the score includes notes on what is being depicted. These can be found as follows:

00:00 - Looking up at the night sky...
01:24 - ...across the Milky-Way.
01:45 - Adjusting the telescope.
02:21 - 'Nebulae' main theme.
03:12 - Star clusters.
03:32 - From hydrogen to helium.
04:40 - Starlit clouds of enormity.
05:20 - Groans of creation.
06:51 - They declare, though they have no voice!
07:36 - 'As numerous as the stars...'
08:31 - Nebulae.

Key musical features include the main theme which alludes to the Lydian mode, the Lydian 4-3 suspension and the depiction of pulsar-like sounds through the bass drum and timpani as well as extended string technique. The latter three portray the constant activity of the stars.

Stylistically the piece has benefited much from Howard Shore's score to the Lord of the Rings as well as John Williams' music in general. A typically Shorian suspension can be found at 3:03.

All the way through the piece is referring to the steady murmur of the universe as it is declaring the glory of God.

'I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed...' Genesis 26:4

"Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone--while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?" Job 38:4-7

'They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.' Psalm 19:3-4a

Dedicated to Tibo. 

God accomplished the greatest good through what looked like the weakest hour, when Jesus Christ hung on the cross. And so it is with every Christian's life, that Christ's power rests on us in our weaknesses. This fact is foolishness to the world, which seeks power and wealth, but to us it's a great treasure and a sure anchor. When I'm weak, Christ understands and He's powerfully at work in me (2 Corinthians 12).
