This piece started life as the final movement of "Symphony 3: Canis Familiaris". It was always intended to be sung but circumstances at the time prevented this, so it was released as an instrumental version. Fast forward 6 years ...
After a lot of tweaking, and a small amount of rescoring, I've released it again, but this time sung by the brilliantly talented tenor, Jonathan Hartzendorf.
The lyrics were originally written in about 1934 and are generally attributed to either Clare Harner or Mary Elizabeth Frye. However this rendition is based on a later version.
Do not stand,
At my grave and weep.
I am not there,
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
Do not stand,
At my grave and weep.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
Do not stand,
At my grave and weep.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand,
At my grave and cry.
I am not there,
I did not die.
