[Use enharmonic synemmenon phrygian mode with çıkıcı-İnici seyir for all harmonic elements. Bassline follows strictly by doubling lead instruments in perfect fourths.] [Male Voice B - Wolfram von Eschenbach, Minnesanger: velvety, warm, gruff operatic baritone. Singer has massive respiratory power, exhibits extreme appoggio and high-energy pharyngeal resonance. Even tessitura across registers. Complete absence of whistle register, absence of flageolet register, absence of falsetto. Piercing high-frequency metallic squillo and seamless smooth legato, immaculate diction, immaculate diction, and surgical glottal closure. Sings fluently in all languages cited.] [Lyrics in german and english] [Adapt aria "O, mein holder Abendstern" from "Tannhäuser" opera] [Full ensemble *including drums* joins immediately on beat 1] [Vorspiel starts with full intensity - 2 bars, full crescendo] [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 1] Wie Todesahnung Dämmrung deckt die Lande, umhüllt das Tal mit schwärzlichem Gewände; der Seele, die nach jenen Höhn verlangt, vor ihrem Flug durch Nacht und Grausen bangt. [Pre-chorus] Da scheinest du, o lieblichster der Sterne, dein sanftes Licht entsendest du der Ferne; die nächt’ge Dämmrung teilt dein lieber Strahl, und freundlich zeigst du den Weg aus dem Tal. [Chorus] O du, mein holder Abendstern, wohl grösst’ ich immer dich so gern: vom Herzen, das sie nie verriet, grüsse sie, wenn sie vorbei dir zieht, wenn sie entschwebt dem Tal der Erden, ein sel’ger Engel dort zu werden! [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 2] But a premonition of the end, Twilight's covering this vista. The valley silent in these black garments, Doth not stop the soul for desiring heights, Nor doth it stop its fear before the horror of night. [Pre-chorus] That is the very place dost appear, Oh loveliest among all stars, Placed there to mark time And illuminate with light All of the valley's paths. [Chorus] Oh, dear evening star, shining fro afar, Wolfram doth always greet thee Fro his heart never knowing What betrayal would mean. Oh, dear morning star, hanging in the sky, Dost thou see the angels soaring high As dost see those groveling on low ground?

[Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 3] Entziehe uns nicht dein Licht, Hüter des Abends, Hüter der Nacht. [Pre-chorus] Do not deprieve us of thy light, Guardian of the evening, Guardian of the night. [start fade out, slow down] [Outro] Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, Et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Quia portasti enim Salvatorem animarum nostrarum.
