The original is partly in Renaissance French of the court and partly in a dialect of that period. Performed by the dwsChorale (a one-man choir)

Time drifts on between each breath for you and I When your destination arrives, have your dreams gone to rest? Body and mind worn out between each sunset and sunrise When calamity strikes, would then your heart return home? As one act after another plays out, unfamiliarity of nonexistence Seeking and searching, how to link pearls on a broken string? How to sing the missing notes?

Use warmth to safeguard life from within Let each wave leave its trace behind Use mindfulness to protect wellbeing Let the wheel of life be given light Translator: Lindsay Chang / Tiffany Hsu Conductor: Meng-Hsien PENG Pianist: Nai-Chia WANG Audio Recording Engineer: Chao-Hui WANG Performance: Müller Chamber Choir Performed at National Concert Hall, Taipei, Taiwan 9 J...    less
