i'm amazed at how you put it all together and made it work so incredibly well :)

Beim Schlafengehen is the third song in Strauss's song cycle, The Four Last Songs. Written just before his death, these songs are set to poems written by Herman Hesse, Joseph Karl Benedikt & Freiherr von Eichendorff. They are widely recognized among the most beautiful music ever written for the soprano voice. 

Vocals by Stacie Eirich, piano by Tom Jesty. Recorded in isolation in 2021, following an online masterclass lead by The Choir of the Earth & Ms. Lucy Cox. 

Thanks for listening! I’m a mom who sings & writes poetry and prose.

Beim Schlafengehen 

Nun der Tag mich [müd] gemacht,
Soll mein sehnliches Verlangen
Freundlich die gestirnte Nacht
Wie ein müdes Kind empfangen. 

Hände, laßt von allem Tun,
Stirn vergiß du alles Denken,
Alle meine Sinne nun
Wollen sich in Schlummer senken. 

Und die Seele unbewacht
Will in freien Flügen schweben,
Um im Zauberkreis der Nacht
Tief und tausendfach zu leben.

Authorship by Hermann Hesse (1877 - 1962), "Beim Schlafengehen", written 1911.

While going to sleep

Now that the day has made me so tired,
my dearest longings shall
be accepted kindly by the starry night
like a weary child.

Hands, cease your activity,
head, forget all of your thoughts;
all my senses now
will sink into slumber.

And my soul, unobserved,
will float about on untrammeled wings
in the enchanted circle of the night,
living a thousandfold more deeply.

"50 drops of blue"
The title reveals 50 drops, is 50 samples by one of the finest pianists on the cloud together with a blue note of my guitar. This track is part of the Lounge Masters Vibes vol 23 album, July 15th  2016. If you wish you can become a member and get your free album and more http://www.loungemasters.org/frw/2016/07/15/lounge-masters-vibes-vol-23/

This track came together by downloading my favourite free sample track https://soundcloud.com/mirandashvangiradze  It stayed a while on my hard-disc but one evening I started cutting the track in pieces rebuilding the puzzle up to 50 pieces in the final mix. Next I recorded a finger picking guitar. Then I played the solo guitar just once to get "all warmed up" and do some recording. This first play is what you are listening to today.

I want to thank Mira for giving her wonderful samples for free...  I feel fortunate that Mira gave the opportunity to create new music with these. If you haven't already I recommend to have a listen at Mira's page: https://soundcloud.com/mirandashvangiradze

Guys I hope you will enjoy this instrumental :)

Love
