Autumnus 04:15

Away, I see you going away, A tiny speck on the horizon by now, Lost in the great sea, lost Your vessel appearing and disappearing Beneath the waves of the sea, so far away I see you Come back home soon, back in my arms soon Away, I see you going away, Away from my heart, into the unknown, Towards distant lands, far away

A Wish 03:20
I wish I were a little bird by Christina Georgina Rossetti I wish I were a little bird That out of sight doth soar, I wish I were a song once heard But often pondered o'er, Or shadow of a lily stirred By wind upon the floor, Or echo of a loving word Worth all that went before, Or memory of a hope deferred That springs again no more.

Red, yellow, orange, Brown, golden leaves, Fall from the trees Fluttering, They bring to the mind Of the young man The days when he met her in the woods Through the trees he saw something moving To his delight a fairy appeared Sparkling lovely magical damsel Never had he seen such a thing 'Aine's my name' she introduced herself, Like a ray of golden summer sunshine, Emerging from colored autumn leaves She's the soul of the enchanted forest Though his days of youth are so distant now He still tends to the big golden forest The old man walks chasing evil away Wandering through a long way to go

She sat and sang alway By the green margin of a stream, Watching the fishes leap and play Beneath the glad sunbeam. I sat and wept away Beneath the moon's most shadowy beam, Watching the blossoms of the May Weep leaves into the stream.

To Autumn 04:56
O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stained With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit Beneath my shady roof; there thou may'st rest, And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe, And all the daughters of the year shall dance! Sing now the lusty song of fruits and flowers. "The narrow bud opens her beauties to The sun, and love runs in her thrilling veins; Blossoms hang round the brows of morning, and Flourish down the bright cheek of modest eve, Till clust'ring Summer breaks forth into singing, And feather'd clouds strew flowers round her head. "The spirits of the air live on the smells Of fruit; and joy, with pinions light, roves round The gardens, or sits singing in the trees." Thus sang the jolly Autumn as he sat; Then rose, girded himself, and o'er the bleak Hills fled from our sight; but left his golden load.
9.
Fluttering brocades, golden and crimson, Swaying of braids, diadems and dreams, Dancing joyfully all through the night, Gems and silk and oriental spices Round we dance Round we dance Gleaming of candles Round we dance Round we dance The past is past Through travelers' tales I travel too, Tales of strange, distant worlds Empires of jade, oriental horizons, Dark, black mysterious eyes. Brave merchants through deserts and mountains, Miles and miles to reach this court

Spring Thaw 03:09

Reflection 04:00
I saw in your eyes a reflection of me, a feeling so deep. Mother, daughter. I'll care for you more than I ever was before. We live in symbiosis and I hope to never leave you.
12.
Proserpina 05:04
"Lungi è la luce in su questo muro rifrange appena, una breve scorta del rio palazzo alla soprana porta. Lungi quei fiori d'Enna, O lido oscuro, dal frutto tuo fatal che ormai m'è duro. Lungi quel cielo dal tartareo manto che qui mi cuopre: e lungi ahi lungi ahi quanto le notti che saran dai dì che furo. Lungi da me mi sento; e ognor sognando cerco ricerco, e resto ascoltatrice. E qualche cuore a qualche anima dice (di cui mi giunge il suo di quando in quando, continuamente insieme sospirando) Oimé per te, Proserpina infelice!"

about

Hexperos’ third full length album, following two successful albums on Equilibrium! Hexperos is widely known and respected for their Gothic and Neoclassical chamber music. The all-new atmospheric and ethereal songs, heavenly voices, new classicism, neo folk and medieval recalls but, above all, this time we can perceive more than ever a strong celtic influence. The album reflects the musicians fascination for ancient times. Hexperos invites the listener to hear stories full of sublime romanticism. Nature, Celticism and myths are the leitmotif of Hexperos’ music.
Lost in the Great Sea mesmerizes us with the sound of ancient instruments played by brilliant musicians. This album is also full of collaborations with musicians, that contribute cello, bardic harp, hammer dulcimer, bouzouki, uillean pipes and various percussion instruments. Add to this the evocative sound of the violinists Alessandro Pensa and Domenico Mancini, who accompany Hexperos from the beginning and the charming/bewitching voices of the children’s choir and last but not least, band-leader Alessandra Santovito’s flutes and gorgeous vocals, that conduct the listener through various atmospheres thanks to the wide vocal spectrum and her peculiar, elysian voiceprint!
