A contemporary piece I wrote during last school-year in the conservatory.
This piece was written in close cooporation with Elea Bekkers, who wrote the poem/lyrics and also sings the soprano part in this recording.

Lyrics:
Jij noemt dit kou
Je hebt de kou slechts aangenomen.
Ik ben erin geboren, erdoor volbracht.
Wij warmden ons aan ijs.
Jouw vorst, voor mij,
Een hitte die versmoort.

Jij noemt dit dreiging.
Mijn wateroppervlakten
Zijn jou de wanhoopsdiepten.
Jouw vreze, voor mij
Een toevluchtsoord.

Jij noemt dit pijn.

Jij noemt dit kou
Je noemt dit water duister.
Je leefde in warm licht.
Maar verstierf in een smeltkroes van kou.
Jouw dood, jouw dood,
Wanhoop, waanzin.

English translation (fun fact, this was actually the original, Elea then made the Dutch version which ended up being the definitive one):
You call this cold
You merely adopted the cold.
I was born into it, nursed by it. 
We used to warm ourselves with ice. 
Your frost to me, 
Is heat which smothers. 

You call this danger.
These waters I call shallow
Are the depths of your despair.
Your fear to me
Is the dull homeliness.

You call this pain.

You call this cold
You call these waters dark.
You lived your life in light.
But expired in icy waters.
Your death to me,
Is tragedy.

Dusk
Sol felt pride at dusk,
aware that his own passing
would birth Luna's light.
