PeterthePapercomPoser Posted November 26, 2022 Posted November 26, 2022 I love the modality of this piece (I guess it's sort of Lydian with a few borrowed tones from the minor mode?). I wish I knew what the poem was about - would you be willing to post the text and translation of the poem here for the benefit of the community? That would also let the listener know what to listen for in the music and if there is any word painting or not. Thanks for sharing! 1 Quote
dhslamas Posted November 27, 2022 Author Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) Thanks Perperthepapercomposer! The text is a lullaby that the poet( Bill) sang to his son. I will post the text in portuguese, soon I'll post the translate in english. " Meu filho escuta a cantiga que o vento assopra em seus ouvidos e no seu pensamento. vai namorar as estrelas pintadas na tela celeste, até que o dono do rebanho as recolha ou aquiete. depois querido repara na face oculta da lua, ela é assim pequenina que cabe numa poça na rua. se acaso aquele cometa iluminar o seu corpinho, diga a ele que o universo é cheio de carinho. Meu filho dorme o sono que se oferece que sua mãe sorrindo também já adormece. " Edited November 27, 2022 by dhslamas Quote
