Target 3:45–4:30, absolute maximum under 6 minutes.] ———————————————————— [INTRO — 12–15 sec] [Felt piano alone in a warm, intimate room.] [The distinctive four-note ascending POEM MOTIF appears clearly but delicately.] [The final note remains slightly unresolved, like a question.] [Low cello harmonic beneath the final note.] [A distant breath of ney.] [No percussion.] [MALE VOICE — Turkish, very soft spoken whisper, distant, warm, smoky] Şiirin içindeki şiiri gördün mü, kalbim? [Silence.] [FEMALE VOICE — 90% soft sung, intimate alto-mezzo] [VERSE 1] Have you seen the poem in poetry, my heart? Where the ink bleeds deep into the silent art, A quiet rhythm breathing through the breathless night, Turning every shadow to a verse of light. [Under the final line, cello quietly traces the four-note POEM MOTIF.] [MALE VOICE — Turkish, barely audible whisper] Sessizliğin içinde… [Silence.] [SHORT INSTRUMENTAL SOLO I — 10–12 sec] [Solo ney.] [It takes the four-note POEM MOTIF and transforms it into one fragile, haunting phrase.] [Subtle Anatolian breath and microtonal inflection.] [Felt piano answers once.] [Do not develop into a long solo.] [End gently unresolved.] [VERSE 2] Have you heard the measure where the soul beats slow, In the ancient cadence that we used to know? No words are needed where the feelings gleam— All that remains in this dome is a pleasant melody. [One soft cello response.] [MALE VOICE — Turkish, whispered, almost from another room] Ruhun eski ritmi… [Brief silence.] [SHORT INSTRUMENTAL SOLO II — 10–12 sec] [Solo cello in a darker register.] [States the four-note POEM MOTIF once.] [Then rises unexpectedly into a warm harmonic.] [Ney gives one breath-like answering note.] [Silence.] [FINAL PASSAGE — female voice, almost weightless] Have you seen the poem in poetry, my heart? [MALE VOICE — Turkish whisper, extremely distant] Kalbim… [Female voice, softly sung] All that remains in this dome is a pleasant melody. [Do not repeat the lyric.] [OUTRO — 25–30 sec] [No percussion.] [Felt piano slowly reprises the four-note POEM MOTIF.] [Cello sustains beneath it.] [Ney returns very faintly for only the first three notes.] [The fourth note finally resolves gently into F major.] [No more vocals.] [Let the piano resonance, cello harmonic and natural room ambience remain.] [Allow several seconds of silence after the final resonance.] [No abrupt ending.]
