It is in this wonderful northern country where inspiration seems to become more present than ever: paradisiac landscapes, generous forests, lakes full of calm, a clear and sharp light -although short-, people always so pleasant... This work, with a clear Scandinavian influence and color, was the result of my daily walks around Songsvann Lake. Also influenced by a recent discovery of spectral harmonies, it is a work that requires a certain level of interpretation. It is a love song, where I tried to describe the sensuality and beauty of the love dialog of the biblical text Salomon Song’s. B.V. • LYRICS: • (Latin): • Nigra sum, sed formosa, • filiae Ierusalem, • ideo dilexit me Rex, • et introduxit me • in cubiculum suum. • Iam hiems transiit, • imber abiit et recessit: • surge, et veni, amica mea. • Flores apparuerunt in terra nostra, • tempus putationis ad venit. • Canticum Canticorum • (English): • I am black, but comely, • O ye daughters of Jerusalem. • Therefore the king hath loved me, • and brought me • into his chambers. • For, lo, the winter is past, • the rain is over and gone: • rise up, my love, my fair one, • and come away. • The flowers appear on the earth, • the time of pruning is at hand. • Salomon’s book
