Can on doing your magic I like the way you craft an song

Your Strings are phenomenal. Beautiful composition and piece

Really impressed by the beautiful composition!

The harp and violin is a beautiful combination.

Another beautiful work Robert. I like it how harp and violin have dialogue. There's interesting polarity between the instruments. Harp is building the scenery and the violin makes the statement. 😁

A piece of stunning clarity and wonderful interplay.

V1 
My eyes are glazing now 
Our heat subsides and how
Did it get to this
Our eternal bliss 
The everlasting kiss was the 
parting of the sea 
It just washed all over me 
Washed all over me 
And I’m drowning in the tears
Of all the unfulfilled ideas 
I wish I was dreaming now 
Please just tell me how 

Chorus 
I can sense a change in you
Forget the past, let’s start a new 

V2 
My eyes are washed away 
The unpleasantries and pain 
How did it get to this 
Our eternal bliss 

I keep battling for you until You
feel the things i do 
I just want to find a way 
Want to find a way 
And I’ll fight against the tide 
To have you by my side 
I wish I was dreaming now
Please just tell me how 

V3 
My heart is racing now and
I love the hear the sound 
How did it get to this 
Our eternal bliss 

I’m bathing in the laughter
Of a happy ever after 
And I wanna pause this day
Wanna pause this day 
With you by my side
We can sail thru the skies 
Now that we found a way 
We will never change

Eternal Bliss

PROGRAM NOTES
Freya’s Tears is a companion or sister piece for another work I wrote entitled The Book of Goddesses, scored for flute, harp and percussion. Each of the movements is inspired by one of three goddesses: Iris, Freya, and Sekhmet.

In Greek mythology, Iris is the personification of the rainbow and messenger of the gods. She is said to have golden wings and is associated with communication, messages and new endeavors, and travels on rainbows while carrying messages from the gods to mortals. That image in particular provided inspiration for Iris.

The second movement, Freya’s Tears, is inspired by Freya (or Freyja), one of the major goddesses of Norse Paganism. She is often described as a goddess of love, beauty and fertility. She was also associated with war, death, wealth, prophecy and magic, as well as the reading of runes, trancing and casting spells. Her most treasured possession was the Brisings’ necklace, a golden necklace crafted by four dwarfs with such artistry that it glittered like a constellation of stars in the night sky. She was married to the God Od (or Odur) who mysteriously disappeared. When she could not find him, she wept tears of gold. The tears that hit trees turned to amber, or Freya’s Tears. I try to evoke these images in the violin and harp by using harmonics, glissandi and delicate arpeggios.

The final movement, Sekhmet, is inspired by the mythological warrior goddess Sekhmet of Upper Egypt. She is depicted as having a human body with a lioness’s head, and is the fiercest hunter known to the Egyptians. She was viewed as the protector of the pharaohs and led them in warfare. It was also said that her breath created the desert.

The first and third movements call for an optional, specialized mute called the Kerrod mute. This mute muffles some of the strings during certain passages, creating a xylophone-like sound. It was invented and developed specifically for this piece by Jacqueline Kerrod and Marc Uys of Clockwise.

Freya’s Tears is written for and dedicated to Clockwise: Marc Uys violin and Jacqueline Kerrod, harp.
