I Mine Kåte Ungdomsdagar (In my reckless youthful days).
A traditional Norwegian folk song, here sung and played by Marianne Lihannah accompanied by nyckelharpa.
This song has been made famous by the 2 groups, Tiriltunga and Trio Medieval.
The story in this song is 'modern' for it's time where it was written and quite unusual compared to many folk songs.
The young woman, who is narrating about her life, has come to the conclusion that it is better NOT to marry, but instead just lie in your lover's arms, now and then.

Paradise Lost

Tomorrow is Promised to no one (pt.1)

'The Darkest Midnight in December' is an Irish traditional folk carol for Christmas night, after Fr William Devereux, 1728. It is from Fr Devereux's collection of Kilmore Christmas carols, called 'A New Garland'. These Christmas Carols are much more like folk songs.
I used to consider this beautiful Carol, as MY Christmas Carol. I have sung it as a solo during several Christmas concerts when I sang with the choir, 'Tonalis Company of Singers' and the choir 'Choros'. I have also sung it in folk clubs etc.
There are actually quite a few verses, but here I only sing verse 1, first solo acapella and then as a duet with myself with a movable drone and third time as a canon with drones.
This Christmas carol can be found in many Carol books with all the many ornaments actually written into the sheet music, true to the sean noes style from the West of Ireland.

The Kilmore Carols are found only in Wexford, and date back more than 300 years. In 1684 Luke Waddinge, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Ferns, published A Smale Garland of Pious and Godly Songs. The cover inscription continues: "Composed by a devout Man/ For the Solace of his Friends and/ neighbours in their afflictions." The book contained 11 Christmas songs, two of which are still sung in Kilmore today. The texts were new, while the melodies were drawn from various traditional sources.
Waddinge died shortly after his book appeared, but interest in the subject was revived by a Father William Devereux, parish priest of Drinagh, Wexford from 1730-1771 (the current Devereuxes in Kilmore are almost certainly related to this priest). Devereux published A New Garland Containing Songs for Christmas. This included some of his own carols along with a few from Waddinge's collection.

Father R. Ranson, who published an edition of the Devereux book in 1949, claims that "the carols were first sung in a little chapel at Killiane, and tradition seems to indicate that the choir consisted of six men." The chapel in question was "no more than a mud hut".

The carols proved very popular, and manuscript copies quickly spread to neighbouring parishes, including Kilmore. Diarmaid O Muirithe, who has assembled and edited a collection of all the Wexford Carols (The Wexford Carols, Dolmen Press, 1982) observes: "They were sung in most of the churches of south Wexford in the 18th century, and even well into the 19th century. I think it's a great pity that they're now no longer sung outside Kilmore." O Muirithe considers that the church hierarchy in Wexford is to some extent responsible for the carols' decline. "For centuries they had been regarded by the church with a kind of benign tolerance, no more than that."

One priest in Kilmore Quay in the 19th century decided to get rid of the carols altogether and replace them with Victorian hymnody. "But the people in Kilmore decided they wouldn't be banished. The priest was banished instead, because nobody came into the church the next year. The bishop had to transfer him."

The Darkest Midnight in December

The Darkest Midnight in December | Irish Traditional Folk Carol | Marianne Lihannah

Do you know the moment when your eyes wander to the sky, your thoughts drift and you come to rest inside? The solo piano piece "Poise" describes exactly this moment. It's the balance between lightness and heaviness, almost like floating and never wanting to land again.

Poise

Petite Dances - Poise

..........................................................................................................................
  The title "Radiant Soul Transcends" inspired a half drum and bass hip-hop beat that captures the essence of the human spirit. 
The composition starts with an upbeat rhythm, symbolizing the energy and vibrancy of life. As the music progresses, 
it slows down into a more contemplative hip-hop beat, symbolizing the introspection and self-discovery that comes with age.
.................................................................................................
   The inspiration for this piece also draws from the Angel scene in Alejandro Jodorowsky's movie, "Endless Poetry." 
The scene speaks of how the pure light of the human soul remains as one grows older. 
The music captures this sentiment with a transition from the outside of a rainbow hole, symbolizing the chaos and confusion of life, to the inside, where the human soul can be found shining bright. 
The final transition takes the listener outside of the rainbow hole and into a new dimension, representing the transcendence of the human spirit.

Soul's Radiance Transcends Chromatic Abyss.

Radiant Soul Transcends

In the mesmerizing symphony of existence, the melodies of our story unfold. Soar, the enigmatic traveler, emerges from the depths of a rainbow hole, a portal of swirling hues that signifies the chaotic tapestry of life's trials and tribulations. As he steps into the interior, a luminous realm of ethereal beauty, his gaze is met by an ever-burning spark deep within his being—a radiant soul yearning to illuminate the unknown.

Yet, destiny weaves its enigmatic threads, and Soar finds himself transcending beyond the limits of familiarity. In this new dimension, his essence entwined with the cosmic fabric, he discovers his form transformed. With a single eye, a unique vessel for perception, he navigates the vast expanse of this enigmatic universe. His face, once a reflection of identity, has now dissolved into the infinite abyss, leaving behind an eternal mystery.

In this boundless realm, Soar becomes both an explorer and a conduit of emotions. Every sight, sound, and touch reverberates through his ethereal existence, connecting him to the grand tapestry of life. Despite the loss of all that was cherished, Soar revels in the precious gift of discovery. He walks the uncharted paths of his new self, embracing the fleeting moments of joy, vulnerability, and awe.

Through the symphony of sensations, Soar unravels the profound truth that lies within the measure of a being is not confined to physicality or remnants of the past, but in the boundless spirit that resides within. And as he journeys further, drawn by the magnetic pull of the unknown, he carries within him the echo of a forgotten memory—an indescribable whisper that promises a revelation, a revelation that may redefine the very essence of his existence.

Soar, in this metamorphosis of forgotten identity and newfound wonder, dances with the universe, an embodiment of both humility and resilience. In his soul's yearning for purpose and connection, he embodies the human spirit's capacity to embrace the beauty of the unknown and, with every step, to unravel the tapestry of existence itself.

Beyond the Rainbow's Veil: A Transcendence and Discovery Journey

Beyond the Rainbow's Veil[ Art Cover by Ayed Kh ]

This album is the musical expression of my personal experience navigating through the coronavirus crisis.
Saudade – This Portuguese word describes deep nostalgic or melancholic longing for something beloved that might never be had again, and perfectly encapsulates my dismay at the thought that life might never again be as it was before.
