It’s funny how things change so rapidly now. Our online distributor, The Orchard, asked us to release a single from our album a few months ago and today is the scheduled release date.
This special little piece, “The Lilacs” by the great Sergei Rachmaninoff is sung in its original Russian language, but we thought we would share the English translation. It seems to have a deeper resonance now...
At the red of the dawn,
O'er the dew spangled lawn,
Where I meet the new day like a kiss,
In the sweet, fragrant shade
By the lilac trees made,
There I wander in search of my bliss…
For one joy, one alone,
Fate has given as mine own,
And it dwells in yon fair lilac bow'r
In its bright branches green
In its thick, perfumed screen-
There my one poor lost joy breaks in flow'r
