Semper viridis

wagnerian symphonic darksynth/sacred operatic belcanto crossover, Instrumentation all filtered via PSX SPU - lead: castlevania-style church organ with FM-generated guitars with tremolo riffs harmonizing with the church organ; bass: texture by contraforte doubling lead reinforcing modal center constantly; accents: portative organ, Lead voice: male belcanto vocals, Full throttle loop-based rhythmic piece based on hypnotic repetition of a single leitmotif with unchanging dynamics, Rhythmic pattern: pachydermic military march in 2/4 time in strict 1-2 pattern pulse in 90-100 bpm + church bells echoes, 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 hypolydian mode with kararli 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.]

[Vorspiel - 2 bars]

[Verse 1]
Heinrich, look, she is no more.
She will never dare return.
The Lord hath shown mercy,
Seest thou not?
The staff hath become verdant,
The staff hath been adorned
With most fragrant flowers.
Hearest thou not
The prayers for Elizabeth's soul?

[Pre-chorus, sacred choir]
* Kyrie eleison,
* Christe eleison,
* Kyrie eleison!...
* Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine:
* cum sanctis tuis in aeternum,
* Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine:
* et lux perpetua luceat eis...

[Chorus]
Der Gnade Heil ward dem Büsser beschieden,
nun geht er ein in der Seligen Frieden!
* Der Gnade Heil ward dem Büsser beschieden,
* nun geht er ein in der Seligen Frieden!

[Vorspiel - 2 bars]

[Verse 2]
Heinrich... Heinrich...
Heinriiiiiiiiiiiiiiich..........
He replieth nor moveth not.
Lord have mercy upon his tortured soul.
'Tis true the Lord doth not look at the face,
But knoweth all hearts, working to their avail.

[Pre-chorus]

Der Gnade Heil ward dem Büsser geschenkt,
nun geht er ein in der ersehnten Frieden!
* Der Gnade Heil ward dem Büsser geschenkt,
* nun geht er ein in der ersehnten Frieden!

[Vorspiel - 2 bars]

[Verse 3]
Is this the moment when words fail
For the heart brimming with sorrow
Doth brim with e'en greater joy?
Herr Jesus Christus, erbarme dich meiner Sünderin.
Wolfram will go forth into the world,
Carrying this staff as irefutable proof,
Composing lauds and songs
To this marvel of the Lord,
Ne'er ceasing to pray
for the soul of Heinrich
Until Wolfram's hath breath
Still animating him.
This will be Wolfram's own pilgrimage.

[start fade out, slow down]

[Outro]
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Hosana in extremis.
Ploeni sunt caeli et terra
Gloria tua.
