Mira Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 When Tzimfemme won myself in the Batchelor Auction during the Summer Solstice Carnival she had a unique request of me. Several months earlier Tzimfemme had written a poem in the Writers Workshop titled, On the Necks of Giants. I had replied to that poem saying that I had converted her poem into a song by setting it to music and altering the words slightly. So when she had the fortune of procuring Mira in the Bachelors Auction, she immediately asked that I find a way to record the song for her. The following is a link to a simple recording done on my home computer. I apologize for the sound quality as well as my attempts at singing. http://www.audiostreet.net/artists/005/323/brian_blaze.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salinye Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 I sing this now! (Which is a horrible diservice to the lovely song! lol) However, for those who would like to read the lyrics as they are played, here is a link to her original work. Turn your speakers way up and play it! :0) On the Necks of Giants-Quincunx ~Salinye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zariah Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Without hesitation, I downloaded this song. It is quite above and beyond amazing what talent is here at the Pen...and I absolutely LOVED this piece. I am a fan of following local bands around in Alexandria and D.C.; my sister introduced me to this hobby when I was young. It's been a while since I heard acoustic voice to bring a sense of brightness in my heart. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing the talents that each of you have. It's amazing what can happen when people work together. This not only was a creative way to end the bachelor's auction, but reinforce that music and poetry go hand in hand. I am now going to conclude with a "Wow" and simply *Opens mouth in awe*.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mira Posted August 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Your all too kind. Most of the credit is Quincunx's since she wrote the words, that were infinitely beautiful before my clumsy fingers and voice ever put them to song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
