The Seven Hills of Rome

This is the second track of an instrumental project I've entitled "It's All Greek to Me", as I explore the myths and legends of Ancient Greece.

I'm using Ancient Greek instruments featured in the 'Ancient Worlds VST Library from Big Fish Audio', underpinned with classical orchestral instruments. There are some very interesting sounds in it that do seem to evoke a time long ago.

Background

According to Greek mythology, Sirens were dangerous creatures, who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and singing voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. Despite modern iconography depicting the Sirens as mermaids, early Greek art depicted them as part woman, part bird.

For this piece a Greek galley is introduced with a steady drum pulse and some Greek instruments to set the scene. We start with the Pan Flute supported by the Strings (Lyre and Kithara). Cymbal rolls represent the waves. The melody then passes to the Flogera and Alto Flute and a lone Siren voice before all three make an appearance. From then on they all act in counterpoint to each other. 

As the Sirens continue to charm the sailors, the Samvyke is introduced (another stringed instrument) as a sort of controlled tension that slowly gets a bit more frantic as the track starts to build. French Horns and Percussion herald the full fury of the Sirens unleashed on the luckless sailors. Helpless to resist, their boat is dashed upon the rocks. 

As the ship begins to break up on the rocky shore the track goes much smaller with a mournful solo cello, supported by the other strings. I wanted a melancholic ending  and the descending figure is supposed to represent the sinking of the boat alongside an almost funeral drum pulse, it just leads down and down into the depths of the sea. More lives have been lost to this peril of the ancient world.

The Sirens (It's All Greek to Me)

Sunday morning and the minstrel plays his uplifting music for the villagers. A happy soul, or so it would seem, jauntily dancing and playing for the people. As they all filter into the church for the Sunday service, the minstrel sadly reflects on his life, and the mask drops for a short while.....until the villagers emerge. Once more, he cavorts and plays for the people - nobody could guess what lies beneath the mask he wears ♥

How Fare Ye, Minstrel?

Novembre                    Texte Sanzen

Si je meurs en novembre, 
je renaîtrai en mai... 
J'attendrai les jours longs, 
avant que tu m'oublies. 

Avant décembre, 
avant la nuit...
Avant les flammes dans l'âtre. 

Si je meurs en novembre, 
mon coeur sous la cendre... 
Je renaîtrai en mai, 
avant que tu m'oublies. 

Novembre où je suis né, 
à la fin de l'année. 
Novembre avant décembre, 
avant que tout s'endorme. 

Que la terre, que le sol, 
que nos coeurs en sommeil : 
Que tout ne disparaisse, 
que tu m'oublies... 

J'attendrai les jours longs, 
Je renaîtrai en mai... 

Si je meurs en novembre, 
avant que tu m'oublies...
Au lieu d'un paradis, 
je reviendrai te voir. 

Et qu'importe l'oubli, 
en novembre, si je meurs...

Attends-moi...
Je t'en prie.

Novembre    Sanzen / Illos

There’s shade of light
And darkest hints of life
These things I write
Create my deepest lie 
More creation
Inspiration 
All through the night
All through the night

Wake up and sing
Whatever you can bring
Say anything 
A rhyme that’s fit to print 
Serve up something 
Keep on writing 
All through the night
All through the night

And maybe when the night ends
Everything is done
One for the canon
There it is another song

No rest no sleep 
Pour more coffee 
All through the night
All through the night

There’s knots to tie
There’s loose ends I must bind
Is that the time
My bed will wait tonight 
Eyes stay open 
Will unbroken 
All through the night
All through the night

Through The Night

Give myself to You (slightly different mix)
