What has thou done, Heinrich?

wagnerian symphonic darksynth/belcanto crossover, Instrumentation all filtered via PSX SPU - lead: poignant oboe with FM-generated guitars with tremolo riffs harmonizing with the rauschpfeife; bass: sickeningly sweet texture by contraforte doubling lead reinforcing modal center constantly; accents: scherzo FM-shakuhachi phrases, Lead voice: female belcanto vocals, Full throttle loop-based rhythmic piece based on hypnotic repetition of a single leitmotif with unchanging dynamics throughout composition, Rhythmic pattern: heart pumping sweet cancan pattern pulse in 80-90 bpm + cowbells polyrhythms with echo and reverb, Percussion: Alesis SR-16 drum programming: tight punchy gated digital drums, short decay kick, sub-bass boost, Sidechain compression, Strictly modal composition

[Use chromatic synemmenon aeolian mode with müteharrik karar-kaçış seyir for all harmonic elements. Bassline follows strictly by doubling lead instruments in perfect fourths.]

[Female voice B - Elizabeth - surgically precise female soprano acuto sfogato with sickeningly sweet squillo using head voice and flageolet (whistle) register (inspired by Adriana Caselotti): Powerful, highly resonant soprano acuto sfogato executing seamless, kulning calls imitating a whooper swan, innocent, clueless, crystal-clear diction, pitch-shift the voice one octave up for an icey and shrill high-crystalline sound. Production notes: Extremely narrow, almost imperceptible rippling, micro-vibrato only with a never-never land quality - should sound like a delivery from 1937 Snowwhite.]

[Lyrics in german and english]

[Full ensemble *including drums* joins immediately on beat 1]

[Vorspiel starts with full intensity - 2 bars, full crescendo]

[Vorspiel - 2 bars]

[Verse 1]
Heinrich, Heinrich...
What is Elizabeth to say?
Oh dost thou know these mysterious ways?
Even too foolishness has come,
Still to sensations strange in thralldom,
Elisabeth cannot decide
Which way to turn,
Which way to glide.

[Pre-chorus]
Heinrich, what has thou done?
Art thou to blame for this thralldom?
Art thou to blame for this wanion?
Elizabeth is in the grasp
Of an undeniable charm.
Help Elizabeth see the path,
Oh, Heinrich, art thou the only one
Able to help Elizabeth out.

[Chorus]
Heinrich, what has thou done?
Heinrich! Was tatet Ihr mir an?
Heinrich! Was tatet Ihr mir an?
Heinrich, what has thou done?

[Vorspiel - 2 bars]

[Verse 2]
Not knowing mine own self,
That is the fate of Elizabeth.
Sith Heinrich is not willing to say
Wherein he sojourned while away,
Elizabeth shall not further ask.
There are enough marvels at hand.

[Pre-chorus]
Heinrich, what has thou done?
Art thou to blame for this burthen?
Art thou to blame for this portent?
Once Heinrich left this land,
Sorrow uninvited ceased Elizabeth out,
Shaking violently in its grasp.
Previously blithe recreations
Such as minnesangers song,
Suddenly became cheerless
And bereft of all loe.

[Chorus]
Heinrich, what has thou done? -
Antwort Elizabeth...
Heinrich! Was tatet Ihr mir an? -
Antwort Elizabeth...
Heinrich! Was tatet Ihr mir an? -
Antwort Elizabeth...
Heinrich, what has thou done? -
Antwort Elizabeth...

[Instrumental bridge - Ghammaz section with taqsim - 2 bars]

[Ghammaz Section - non-lexical vocalizations - elaborate coloratura embellishments]
* Ааааааааааоооооооо..
* Ааааааааааоооооооо..

[Vorspiel - 2 bars]

[Verse 3]
Now that we are rejoined again,
Elizabeth doth praise her fate:
Blesst is this day,
Blesst is this hour
When sweetness birthed fro sour.
Wondrous are the tidings,
Behind woebetidings.

[Pre-chorus]
Heinrich, what hast thou done?
Art thou to blame for this marvel?
Art thou to blame for this Babel?
Is it true, indeed?
Heinrich doth agree?
Blesst is the power
Indubitably heavensent.
How foolish Elizabeth would be
Not dedicating her new life
To this jocundity and bliss?

[start fade out, slow down]

[Outro]
Heinrich, what has thou done? -
Antwort Elizabeth...
War es die Musik, die mich verzauberte?
Heinrich! Was tatet Ihr mir an? -
Antwort Elizabeth...
War es der Zauber, die mich verzauberte?
Heinrich! Was tatet Ihr mir an? -
Antwort Elizabeth...
War es das Wesen, die mich verzauberte?
Heinrich, what has thou done? -
Antwort Elizabeth...
War es die Ursprünglichkeit, die mich verzauberte?

[Vorspiel - 2 bars, fadeout]
