Voor het concert "Arianna & Theseus, draad van liefde en lot" van het Arianna-kwartet in juni 2025 heb ik dit slotlied "The Thread of Destiny" gemaakt.
Dit vierstemmige koorstuk voor vier zangers (Geertrui, Willemien, Martin en Paul) is zowel een arrangement als een nieuwe compositie. Hierbij de volledige tekst, geschreven met behulp van Claude 3.5 Sonnet: Where stars their secrets keep. Two hearts, two fates, Their path now sealed by God’s decree; Two hearts, two fates are soon destined to be Awakened from their sleep. In moonlit gardens, time stands still, Where ancient wisdom dwells. Two souls drawn by a greater will, Cast love’s enchanting spells. Through marble halls of sacred light Where prophets dreamed of old; They found what fate had kept from sight As mysteries unfold. Weave the thread of guiding light Through shadows of the night, Let love’s pure flame forever show The path they dare to go From sacred chant to passion's height, Through dreams of love and tears, Now flames and waters intertwine As fate and battle draw so near, As fate’s design is clear. Weave the thread of guiding light Through shadows of the night, Let love’s pure flame forever show The path they dare to go |
