Hello again @Krisp!

I love the delicate piano dissonance accompanying your voice in this song.  You usually include English subtitles in your compositions but I was disappointed to see that you didn't in this performance.  It would be great to know what the words mean when you're singing!  But I do like that you show the notes of your composition much more clearly than before in this video.  Thanks for sharing!

Oh I'm sorry, I totally forgot this time...

And it was too late to correct.

I will therefore submit a translation here (let's say you will have an overview of the text without necessarily having the correspondences, but there are several games that I had fun making to match text and music... There is even a quote from Fauré's requiem towards the end...)

In any case, thank you and thank you again for listening. It makes me very happy...


Litanies of the First Quarters of the Moon

Blessed Moon

Of sleepless swoon,

White medallion

For Endymion,

 

Fossil star

Exiled afar,

Jealous tomb

Of Salammbô’s bloom,

 

Pier for the fleet

Of Mysteries deep,

Madonna and miss,

Diana–Artemis,

 

Holy watchtower

Of our dark hours,

Jettatura

For games of Baccarat,

 

Very tired dame

Of our rooftops’ shame,

Potion to stir

The firefly’s blur,

 

Rosette and dome

Of twilight psalms,

Fair cat’s-eye light

Of our last rites,

 

Be the Ambulance

Of our lost faith!

Be the eiderdown

Of the Grand Pardon!
