Amelia Golding, Alison Cameron - Offering

from Fragments of Solitude by Cameron Lam

/

about

Offering features the singer as the pilgrim, being subsumed by the tidal ocean (the piano) as the waves roll in and the water rises and falls. At various points the singers gives in to the ocean before emerging grateful
for the stable rocks underfoot.

Here we discover resilience.

lyrics

Text from The Solitudes by Luis de Góngora
as translated by Edith Grossman

The First Solitude (lines 28-33)

He kisses the sand, and from the shattered ship
the spare and meager fragment
that brought him to the beach he offers the rocks:
even crags confess themselves
flattered by signs and shows of gratitude.
