About
A tragic classical sonata form piece featuring soaring orchestral swells and intricate string harmonies that evoke profound loss, interspersed with plaintive woodwind solos on oboe and flute. Dramatic brass fanfares punctuate the development section, building to cathartic climaxes before resolving in a serene coda. Recorded with pristine acoustic fidelity, capturing the full dynamic range of a chamber orchestra in a resonant hall.
Lyrics
Softly falls the veil of night Where dreams once bloomed in silver light
A garden fair, with roses red Now withered leaves where lovers tread The promise sworn beneath the stars Shattered by fate's unyielding bars One hand reaches, the other fades In silence, endless sorrow cascades
Tempests rise in the soul's dark sea Waves of anguish crash endlessly Memories cling like thorns in flesh A throne of joy turned to ash afresh Voices cry through the hollow gale Hearts entwine, yet both must fail The light we chased now dims to gray In tragedy's grasp, we fade away
Softly falls the veil of night Where dreams once bloomed in silver light A garden fair, with roses red Now withered leaves where lovers tread The promise sworn beneath the stars Shattered by fate's unyielding bars
Rest now in the quiet stream Eternal peace, a fading dream One final breath, the curtain drawn In tragedy's arms, forever gone
Withered Roses Under Shattered Stars
