My Memory - Violin Music <3

"The Prayer" or "Lūgsna" is the song for peace, love and compassion. 

I intended the song as a call for overcoming what divides, be it nationality, race, language or gender. 

The lyrics originate mainly in Latgalian and Latvian pre-Christian folklore; the former is especially close to my heart with its generosity of compassion, love and non-judgmentalism. I blurred the lines between the languages in another attempt to break down borders. 

The song is narrated by a wise-woman (healer or enchantress).  She prays to god to stop wars and save souls.  The orphans are reached out to by the gods. There might be hope.  Being able to give is a privilege freeing us from having to beg.  

The music makes reference to Chopin’s nocturne Op 27 Nr 2.

"Pi Mōreņas spūdri lūgi,
Boltu duru ustabeņ`.
Tī nakseņu saule guļ,
Tī dīneņu mēnesneit`s.

Tī pōrguļ(i) dvēseleites,
Atejamys, aizejamys.
Šķir, Dīveņ(i), lielus karus,
Žāloj ļauži dvēseleiš`.

Ļaudis teica mana laime
Ūdenī noslīkuse
Nav laimiņa noslīkusi
Vien uz brīdi izgājus.

Kur tecēsi, mīlō Mōra,
Bez sauleitis vokorā?
Tōs sēteņas apraudzeit(i),
Kur bērneņi bōrineiši

Jem Dīveņi pi rūceņas,
Garu ceļu staigojūt.
Ni man tāva, ni mameņis,
Pi rūceņs vodōtōj`.

Šķir Dieviņi lielus karus
Žēlo ļaužu dvēselītes
Dod Dieviņi otram dot
Ne no otra mīļi lūgt."

Prayer (Lūgsna)

This is my recent piano improvisation on my favorite Russian pieces (including some Soviet films). I used to play this medley with my friend four-handedly when at music college.  The music contains that beautiful Slavic sorrow and yearning endlessly changing and contrasting with the extreme joy and vitality. Hope you enjoy my take on it. 

I.M., this is for you, we shall play it again together one day:)

Piece of February

Here Comes The Sun

Yellow sky, mellow sky
You don't mind that shallow sky        
Toss up a coin and try 
a ticket to last July
You don't mind that shallow sky.

I don't know which way or why 
Stars have fallen into your eyes
Or why I never learnt to fly                      
But i can sing you a lullaby.

Yellow sky, mellow sky
Heard you cry you cry in shallow sky
Pick up the pieces and try 
A little sweetness of mine
You don't mind that shallow sky.
  
I don't know which way or why 
Stars have fallen into your eyes
Or why I never learnt to fly                      
But i can sing you a lullaby.
