Night wears black to mourn the dead stars. (adapted from Rumi)
A meditation to the loss and to the night, this piece should sound ritualistic and prayer-like. Although the vocal style is influenced by Indian folk music, the atmosphere should be more reminiscent of traditional Buddhist chanting, voices and bells together evoking an atmosphere of stillness and sanctity.
