📝 Description
"Lingering Light in Winter’s Embrace" is a chamber composition for eight instruments, deeply rooted in the expressive tradition of the Russian musical school, profoundly inspired by the legacies of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Georgy Sviridov. The piece seeks to capture the ephemeral beauty of memory, weaving an atmosphere of tender melancholy and quiet contemplation, as if illuminated by the delicate glow of a winter landscape.

At its heart lies the theme of nostalgia — a longing for moments lost, expressed through a lyrical dialogue between the strings (first and second violins, viola, cello, and double bass) and the poignant timbre of the winds (flute, oboe, and clarinet). The strings evoke heartfelt emotions, whispering tales of cherished recollections, while the winds add a breath of airy lightness and a subtle shimmer of hope. The double bass provides a resonant foundation, grounding the composition in the timeless embrace of the natural world.

This work transcends a specific narrative, instead inviting listeners on an emotional journey — a meditation on the fleeting nature of time, the enduring power of the human spirit, and the universal search for harmony. "Lingering Light in Winter’s Embrace" is a sonic painting, a tapestry of sound designed to stir the soul and awaken the imagination. It’s a testament to the beauty found within stillness, and a celebration of the delicate balance between joy and sorrow.

Lingering Light in Winter’s Embrace

At the beginning of the journey through the 22 stations or cards of the Major Arcana of the Tarot deck, the Fool steps off a cliff into the complete unknown. This is exactly what it feels like to be beginning this series of 22 music tracks for me.... but I'm hopeful it will be a fun and interesting journey!  

I'm very grateful to Andreas Pirner (@APi_ZZ) for providing such a beautiful and appropriate design framework for each of the covers, and for his ever helpful advice on sound quality and mixing.

This is a song about Romanian gypsies who make a living  by collecting scrap metal. The lyrics are in Romanian. There is some humor involved, but no dissrespect. After all, we're all in the same shithole  here. 

Lyrics (Romanian):

Verse1:
Mamă, nu mai merg la şcoală!
Mamă, n-are niciun rost.
Tată, nu mai merg la muncă,
Că nu am niciun folos.

Chorus:
Nu mai merg deloc în mină,  
FERul creşte în grădina. 
Nici nu trebe târnăcop, 
Din gunoaie să-l degrop. 

Ai în curte un tezaur 
Sub rugină este aur 
Sa faci bani este usor 
Chiar de nu-i strălucitor 

FERul noi îl colectăm, 
Obiceiul respectăm.
N-avem cal, avem masină 
Şi remorca ne e plină. 

Verse2:
Munca e pentru tractoare,
Cartea pentru tocilari,
Pentru ce-i făcută oare
Viaţa asta de hoinari.

Chorus

Bridge:
Am nevoie de banii tăi
Ca să mănânc, ca să trăiesc, ca să iubesc.
De banii tăi,
Am nevoie de banii tăi.

Chorus
