Mandarin Nights

Lyrics: John Eagle
Vocals: Faerytale
Composition and instruments: TK78

This is so far the most ambitious project. The song is about Ludwig Van Beethoven, and all musical themes are based on some of his work. Thanks a lot to John for the great lyrics, and to Lisa for the awesome vocals! 

Intro: Moonlight Sonata, 1st Movement
Verses: Sonate no. 17 (The Tempest), 3rd Movement
Bridge: Symphony 9, 2nd Movement (bar 87 to 98, I'm still surprised, and a bit proud, how well that fits in...)
Interlude: Symphony 5, 1st Movement (I just thought, this one is a must... and fits well in here to the story... checked a bit about Ludwig's life and background. So it seems that Beethoven referred to the beginning of his 5th Symphony as "fate knocking at the door". So I thought, placing this theme at that position makes sense...)
2nd Bridge: Symphony 7, 2nd Movement
Outro: Moonlight Sonata, 1st Movement - closing the circle....

Ludwig - by John Eagle

Intro
Ludwig, Ludwig
The music calls your name
Ludwig, Ludwig
You will never be the same

Awake, the day begins anew
The music inside is hidden
In a place as dark as night
It emerges in sections unbidden
From the darkness comes the light

Arise from your Eroica
Take moonlight from the sky
Lay it down with ivory and string
Give it wings so it may fly
Music commissioned by a king

Vienna became your Fate
In sweeping horns and strings
And you held your secret close
In the distance the soprano sings
The echoes in your ears rings

Bridge
Awake, the day begins anew
Arise, life commands you devise
Your patron waits in the wings
To hear the angels sing

Give forth this Pastoral
That floats on heavenly clouds
And let the dirge play out early
Before the massive crowds
Leave the weeping women in shrouds

For your grand finale
The opus ode to joy
Run through the fields of floral
And all the voices sang from high
In one decisive Choral

In the end the madness came
In all its fateful rhythm
The music became the sin
And you stood by, baton in hand
A life written in a hymn

Outro
Ludwig, Ludwig
Let the music go
Ludwig, Ludwig
And opus for the seers
When silence stopped the ears


Ludwig

This track was first recorded with just vocals only in my living room. Later it was edited and instrumentals added in Rochester N.Y. at Blue studios by Marc Webster. 

The original song of course was written by Don Redmon and made popular by the late
Billie Holiday.
