The Shimmer of the Sound | Echolocation Mix

From the Poem by Richard Le Gallienne (1866-1947) ----- [single note, repeated] [strings enter, tremolo, vibrato] aaaa -aaaa --aaaaa aaaa -aaaa --aaaaa [waves crashing] ohhh - ohhh ohhhh aaaa -aaaa --aaaaa ohhh - ohhh ohhhhh [instrumental: slow gradual tremolo flute] [Refrain] .....And, all the while, she sings and sings, (And Sings and sings and sings and sings) And waves her wild white hands with glee, Mysterious sister of the world, That singing water called the seaaaaaa. [instrumental] Ohhhhhh how the sea-weed sways and swings! Is it her hair----has she been found In the long shimmer of the Sound! (The sound the sound) The long shiiiiimmer of the sooound [delicate piano] A mute companion of the waaaves That toss within their moonlit graves-- Is it a king, or but a girl? [breath] Or but a girrrrrrrrl? -- [repeat intro] ohhh - ohhh ohhhh aaaa -aaaa --aaaaa ohhh - ohhh ohhhhh And, all the while, she sings and sings, (And sings and sings and sings and sings) And waves her wild white hands with glee, Mysterious sister of the world, That singing water called the sea. [instrumental] O tell me was this sea-weed found (found) In the long shiiiiimmer of the Sooooound! [crescendoing tremolo strings] [bridge] In the long shimmer of the Sound May I some day be laughing found, Part of its restless to and fro, (Its restless to and fro) A humble worker of the tides That round the sleepless planet flow, (Flow flowwwwww) And in the rock and drift [pitch change up] of thiiiiiiiiiiiiii-iiiiiiiii-iiiiiings!!!!!!! [cadenza, cello] [silence] [Spoken softly] Do some small task I do not know-- (I do not know) O maybe help the mussel grow, Or tint the shell-imprisoned pearl- [pause] aaaa -aaaa --aaaaa aaaa -aaaa --aaaaa -- ohhh - ohhh ohhhh aaaa -aaaa --aaaaa ohhh - ohhh ohhhhh [outro] And, all the while, she sings and sings, (And sings and sings and sings and sings) And sings and sings...
