“This Is What You Are” plays during a pivotal moment in the game when you discover your true origins as a Tenno, a race of adolescent warriors with supernatural abilities forged by space and time, molded by witnessing death and destruction at a younger age.
This piece’s hymn is meant to symbolize a mother calling to her children, who in turn answer. The mother in this case is a character named “The Lotus” who, unable to have children of her own, seeks to protect the Tenno from those who wish to murder them. She hides them within the “Womb in the Sky,” a safe resting place for Tenno physical bodies. The Tenno, cared for by the Lotus, also wish to protect the Lotus. They show her that while she was able to protect them for some time, it is now their turn to help her. The Lotus in turn worries for their safety, but understands that every one of her children must venture into the galaxy eventually. A mother’s love and protection can transcend maternity, space, and time.
This piece features Amanda L. Cavanagh (May 7)/Jasmine Marcelo (May 14) on vocal solo and Elias Schwartsman (May 7)/Erin Chester (May 14) on erhu.
In this piece, WMGSO is proud to collaborate with Harmonic Introductions, a vocal ensemble founded in 2012 dedicated to the art of overtone singing.
