Battlefront

Apocalypse

Death ?

Dream’s castle

The rain is whispering

Comeback

The first song, a partial setting of ‘Lover’s Infiniteness’ by John Donne, begins with a funereal tread that swells occasionally into anguished outbursts, or retreats into uneasy oases of calm. The opening contains a brief quote from Zemlinsky’s ‘Sechs Maeterlinck Gesänge’, as those fantastic songs provided the initial inspiration for my Two English Poems during my university days.

----------------------------------------------------------
If yet I have not all thy love,
Dear, I shall never have it all;
I cannot breathe one other sigh, to move,
Nor can intreat one other tear to fall;
And all my treasure, which should purchase thee-

Sighs, tears, and oaths, and letters - I have
spent.
yet no more can be due to me,
Than at the bargain made was meant;
If then thy gift of love were partial,
That some to me, some should to others fall,
Dear, I shall never have thee all.

John Donne

Two English Poems for Voice and Orchestra: I 'Lover's Infiniteness' by John Donne

Situé dans une représentation fictive de l'Islande médiévale, "Les Sagas de Windholm" de Erik Upper, est composé de quatre histoires qui imitent les éléments communs aux traditions culturelles et littéraires de l'Islande au Moyen Âge, principalement pensez à l'épopée Vikings, mais avec moins de raids et plus de douceur dans l'écriture. 
Cette approche musicale pourrait soutenir cette saga dans son ensemble et permettre de deviner les contours, de cette histoire plutôt fascinante ….

Set in a fictional representation of medieval Iceland, Erik Upper's “The Sagas of Windholm” consists of four stories that mimic elements common to Iceland's cultural and literary traditions in the Middle Ages, mainly reminiscent of Vikings epics, but with fewer raids and a gentler tone. 
This musical approach could support the saga as a whole and allow us to guess at the contours of this rather fascinating story ....

The Return To Windholm ....

Someplace Wonderful

[Verse]
Hollow winds carve the stone
Whispering secrets in a tongue unknown
A flicker of fire
The edge of the night
Shadows stretch
And the trees take flight

[Prechorus]
Do you hear the cracking ground?
The pulse beneath
The roaring sound?

[Chorus]
Whispering in the storm
Born of chaos
Twisted form
The earth screams
The sky is torn
Whispering in the storm

[Verse 2]
Threads of silver in the blackened stream
A glint of truth or a shattered dream?
The soil breathes
The roots writhe deep
The forest wakes from its ancient sleep

[Prechorus]
Do you feel the trembling air?
The weight of eyes that are everywhere?

[Chorus]
Whispering in the storm
Born of chaos
Twisted form
The earth screams
The sky is torn
Whispering in the storm

Whispering in the Storm
