Composed this piece two years ago and it’s been lurking on my Dropbox ever since, thought it was time to get it out there...

De Bello Gallico - Finale

Opening chant of the Besokian liturgy: Summoning of the gods, unveiling of the idols, and entry of the priests and priestesses. Sung in one of my conlangs, Old Besokian. Performed by East/West Symphonic Choirs (with obvious limitations as to pronounciation).


Lyrics:

Êrûn! Êrûn! Êrû’ mûkûn mênûrû îr-kâmoc!
Light! Light! [Bring] light [onto the] shadows, creators of [all] good [things]!

Êrûn! Êrûn! Êrû’ mûkûn kôkêlûc!
Light! Light! [Bring] light [onto the] shadows, benignant [ones]!

Êkerâ’ mâtenâ’ kâ kôlân.
[We have] gathered, lowly, for [your] reverence.

Nishunâc! Nishunâc! Nishunâc! Nishunâc âm sârish!
Arrive! Arrive! Arrive! Arrive and gather!

[Unveiling of the goddesses, entry of the priestesses]

Nishunâc! Nishunâc! Nishunâc dîl nâlac mênîr!
Arrive! Arrive! Arrive to receive [our] sacrifice!

[Unveiling of the gods, entry of the priests]
