Travel On - Instrumental / choral collaboration

Post by remmet »

This is a sort of ambient, choral, classical, country song, touching on the travails of life and the acceptance of inevitable death. Your typical top 40, in other words. The original tune was written (or borrowed) by Bach for the ending of his St. John Passion. I wrote the lyrics for the verses and my collaborator Juliet Lyons wrote most of the middle section. I arranged and orchestrated it and Juliet did the vocals.

In case anyone's interested, here are the lyrics:

The long and troubled night has passed
The morning light has come at last
And as we have always shown
We will carry on

Travel on and on, etc. (middle section)

As time unravels all around
The love we leave touches sacred ground
And as we have always known
Some day we'll travel on
