Lyrics
Terra sine aqua:
Expandi manus meas ad te
anima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi

Earth Without Water:
My hands reach out for you
my soul without you is like earth without water.

Erde ohne Wasser:
Ich strecke meine Hände nach dir aus
Meine Seele ist ohne dich wie Erde ohne Wasser

Very cool. I happen to love the music of Lassus — I make my renaissance counterpoint students learn and perform as many of his 2- and 3-part motets as time allows when I teach that class — so I enjoy that aspect of this work, but I also really enjoy your free-associative synth sounds that you blend into your texture, which makes me think a little of Stanley Kubrik...

This is very creatively done! Congratulations!

Inspirational!
Maybe a teeny bit too much of a clash for my taste, but it is inspirational as to what can - still - be done in music. Love the picture! Thanks!
