It's Muse Light A commissioned work for San Francisco based Musae Womens Chorus and Bossa Five-O [flute, sax, guitar, percussion]. Lyrics There's music in a whispered voice; She is the muse... of the song Weaving beauty into the tapestry of creation, She sparks your soul, melding thought, light and sound, Spellbound, enchanted by the magic of the song, magic of the song The last rays of sunset are racing through the night instrumental There's music in a whispered voice; She is the muse... of the song And maybe you will hear it or see it at dawn, Beyond wordly facts and clashing views |
