This music was composed by Annette LeSiege during the last year of her full and generous life. Annette is a friend and mentor and it is a great honour to have had her bring my words to life. The sheet music for piano and low voice is available from Subito Music.
lyrics
The soul clings to memories -
childhood, love, wind over the grass,
thunder coming down from the mountains.
Remembering spring, he forgets winter
and falls into a waking dream;
Remembering summer, he forgets the dream
and walks with the spirits;
Remembering autumn, takes advice from them
and returns with the harvest;
Remembering winter, his knowledge is a fire
and warms the people
gathered in a circle.
British folk musician Tom Nash built these delicate and moving songs around a broken harmonium, allowing its limitations to open up worlds. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 12, 2021
A female voice that feels out of another century quivers over a folk harp on the 11 tracks that make up this exclusive video album. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 14, 2016
