Child of Song
Music: Kim André Arnesen
Text: Euan Tait

Child of song, your music 
sang from the bone,
the music of a visceral dancer.
The feral tree in full pearl green new leaf,
squalling water alive around the swimmer,
is touched by your music, will always carry it.
No child of song falls into silence 
but into love’s rest
seeded with re-awakening.
Your music, child of song. 

 

If Music Be the Food of Love
Music: David Dickau
Text: Henry Heveningham

If music be the food of love,
Sing on till I am fill’d with joy;
For then my listening soul you move
To pleasures that can never cloy.
Your eyes, your mien, your tongue declare
That you are music everywhere.

Pleasures invade both eye and ear,
So fierce the transports are, they wound,
And all my senses feasted are,
Tho’ yet the treat is only sound,
Sure I must perish by your charms,
Unless you save me in your arms.
