Stella Splendens & Locked Within The Crystal Ball

Stella Splenders 

Llibre Vermell de Montserrat

Vou postar aqui dois videos, o de "Stella Splendens" na interpretação de Jordi Savall em La Cappella Reial de Catalunya. "Stella Splendens" é um canto polifónico, com duas partes do Llibre Vermell de Montserrat, um dos mais antigos manuscritos medievais existentes que contem música, essa cançao inspirou nossos menestréis a criarem a linda "Locked Within The Crystal Ball".

O vídeo de "Locked Within The Crystal Ball" é de um concerto do Blackmore's Night em York, na Inglaterra, parte do DVD "A Knight in York".

Abaixo dos dois vídeos estão as letras. Enjoy!



Stella Splendens

Stella splendens in monte
Ut solis radium
Miraculis serrato,
Exaudi populum.

Concurrunt universi
Gaudentes populi,
Divites et egeni,
Grandes et parvuli,
Ipsum ingrediuntur,
Ut cernunt oculi,
Et inde revertuntur
Gratiis repleti.

Principes et magnates
Ex stirpe regia,

Saeculi potestates
Obtenta venia
Peccaminun proclamant
Tundentes pectora,
Poplite flexo clamant
Hic: Ave Maria.

Prelati et barones,
Comites incliti,
Religiosi omnes
Atque presbyteri,
Milites, mercatores,
Cives, marinari,
Burgenses, piscatores
Preamiantur ibi.




Locked Within The Crystal Ball

Here in the spotlight this moment is ours
No one can stop us, we're one with the stars

I feel the waves begin to rise
Far across the ocean deep within your eyes
Silently watching as they fall
I can see the future locked within the crystal ball

Strike up the lightening, hear my prayer
Feel the light electric dancing through the air
Here by the ancient castle wall
Can you see the future locked within the crystal ball

Here in the spotlight this moment is ours
No one can stop us, we're one with the stars

Quiet by nature, standing tall
Old stone circles, they have seen it all
Caught like a ghost in yesterday, shadows down the hall
Are locked within the crystal ball

Fire and water, earth and sky
Mysteries surround us, legends never die
They live for the moment, lost in time, I can hear them call
They're locked within the crystal ball

I feel the waves begin to rise
Far across the ocean deep within your eyes
Silently watching as they fall
I can see the future locked within the crystal ball
