Love it : amazing voice with some Celtic inflexions (😉), the outstanding nice bass sound, the great Pergolesi

Un trabajo impresionante el que logras con éste instrumento tradicional. No hace falta más. Con el registro de tu voz y las armonías generadas por el instrumento es más que suficiente para éste precioso tema. Enhorabuena

Great vocal performance on a classic composition [via https://sc.repostexchange.com]

Che arcaicità, che bel brano, bravissima.

'Tender Wishes' is a song by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, here sung in English, translated from the original French song 'Les Tendres Souhaits' aka 'Que ne suis-je la fougère', (See the complete French lyrics by Ribouette below).
The melody is by Pergolesi and the harmony, singing and nyckelharpa playing is by Marianne Lihannah.

Pergolesi, was an Italian Baroque composer, violinist and organist. Born Jan. 4, 1710, Jesi, Italy—died March 16, 1736, Pozzuoli at just 26 years old by Tuberculosis.

The lyricist is Ribouette and in this recording, 2 verses of the original 3 verses are sung. Verse no 2 is here played with two nyckelharpas. The harmony part is improvised under the Pergolesi melody.

A special thanks to the wonderful nyckelharpa player Didier Francois, who has helped me with playing this song on the nyckelharpa as well as teaching me improvisation on the nyckelharpa.

This song is also a grade song on ABRSM's classical repertoire list.

Here is the original French text with all 3 verses included:

verse 1:
Que ne suis-je la fougère,
Où, sur la fin d'un beau jour,
Se repose ma bergère
Sous la garde de l'amour!
Que ne suis-je le Zéphyre
Qui rafraîchit ses appas,
L'air que sa bouche respire
La fleur qui naît sous ses pas.

Verse 2:
Que ne suis-je l'onde pure
Qui la reçoit dans son sein!
Que ne suis-je la parure
Qui la couvre après le bain!
Que ne suis-je cette glace,
Où son minois répété
Offre à nos yeux une grâce
Qui sourit à la beauté!

Verse 3:
Que ne puis-je par un songe,
Tenir son cœur enchanté!
Que ne puis-je du mensonge
Passer à la vérité!
Les dieux qui m'ont donné l'être
M'ont fait trop ambitieux,
Car enfin je voudrais être
Tout ce qui plaît à ces yeux.

Days pass...and we make decisions and choose the path we believe in
These roads are full of surprises, sensations, and difficulties
I will let my heart and faith continue the way

Where The Path Leads - Video in link

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.

Swinging, dreamy and at the same time a bit wistful, the solo piano piece "Spin" tells about the first steps of our life. First cautiously, then a bit more courageously and finally euphorically dancing full of joie de vivre, until we had the feeling to float and started to go our own ways.

🦉"Atm I prefer to write high fantasy songs about landscapes and taverns of other worlds. This one is based on a little self-made story:
Deep in the endless woods there is a tavern. A place full of books, parchments and magical potions and comfort. An enchanted owl lives here and whoever visits it can be healed by the shadows and sorrow. This song has developed into an energetic flight through the night, accompanied by a catchy mantra that is supposed to enchant us." 🦉

A Clear Path

Miserere
(a poem for humanity)

Oh live is precious
Why do we squander it away?
I was once so ignorant
I was once seeking to return
Blessed me
I am seeking to return

In wonderment I sit and watch
Hoe life goes by unfulfilled
Blessed 

I see some light shine if I look close
(and brightness. Look close.)
Among suffering and death that is our fate
Blessed

Once I was not born
And infinite time and space grew
In wonder it observed itself
(shining so bright)
I look at my hands and you.

Where is my saviour?
Where has my saviour gone?
Blessed

I've been searching heaven and earth
But not within myself

The deepest well
How can we conquer the earth and one another?
Blessed
But not look within?

Blessed
Please look within.

Miserere
