A Sleep Apart- A Sermon
Music and Words Compiled by Jamie Man

Workshop recording with Eric Ericsons Kammarkör, Stockholm 2013

A sermon on sleepless-ness caused by the incessant thought of a forbidden love and the gift of dreams. 'There are no witnesses to our dreams and they provide a pleasure almost real'.
Mercy

Sleep

Cry

[Names of lovers] offered by the singers

... exaudi vocem meam. Fiant aures tuæ intendentes
in vocem deprecationis meæ… Psalm 130

But even if you keep me out of mind, 
there is no wrong in dreaming of me
as often as you want to in your sleep. 
There are no witnesses to our dreams 
and they provide a pleasure almost real.

Translated and adapted from Metamorphoses by Ovid
