hear this and a consummate terror tears through and everything, everything in a flash wants to become the aurora lights. Sibelius too knew of such overwhelm.

The album "Northern Lights" was recorded at both the Trinity College Chapel and the Ely Cathedral. The music has been performed by the Trinity College Choir conducted by Stephen Layton. The album consists of 16 songs for choir and some peculiar instruments such as harp, organ, brass, percussion, glass and chimes… The songs are based on different texts in different languages: Latin, English, Sami and Latvian. If I am writing about these works now, it is because I consider they are beautiful choral music which, in my opinion, will stand the test of time. www.michaelthallium.com/en/2015/02/02/eriks-esenvalds-la-aurora-boreal-y-todo-lo-demas/

+servantseven7 Tenor solo - Jānis Krūmiņš The lyrics : Cik naksnīnas pret ziemeli Redzēj' kāvus karojam; Karo kāvi pie debesu, Vedīs karus mūs' zemē. (in Latvian) (How many nights against the North wind I saw the Northern Lights fighting; Fighting in the sky, the Northern Lights Bring wars to our land.) It was night, and I had gone on deck several times. Iceberg was silent; I too was silent. It was true dark and cold. At nine o'clock I was below in my cabin, When the captain hailed me with the words: „Come above, Hall, at once! The world is on fire!" I knew his meaning, and, quick as thought, I rushed to the companion stairs. In a moment I reached the deck, And as the cabin door swung open, A dazzling light, overpow'ring light burst upon my startled senses! Oh, the whole sky was one glowing mass of colored flames, so mighty, so brave! Like a pathway of light the northern lights seemed to draw us into the sky. Yes, it was harp-music, wild storming in the darkness; The strings trembled and sparkled in the glow of the flames Like a shower of fiery darts. A fiery crown of auroral light cast a warm glow across the arctic ice. Again at times it was like softly playing, gently rocking silvery waves, On which dreams travel into unknown worlds.
