                NORTHERN SHIMMER        (6:54)
                
                by Eterman in 3.10.2000
                        
 A descendant of Shelter. Clearly. The style has a huge resemblance to
 that of Shelter's, but the harmony is closer to pieces such as Away or
 Via Remoteness (occasionally, that is). Mostly the melodies flow like
 nothing I've written before, which matter I consider splendid.
 
 Tried to catch some etno/fantasy/celtic folk -blend here.Mostly my own
 modern folk/etno/fantasy; a unique style I proudly (now I really hope I
 don't get misunderstood due to some terms I may use carelessly)
 consider my own invention (best represented in Shelter). Added some
 celtic influences, then. If I'm wrong and there is actually nothing
 particularly fresh in this style here, please let me know. I'd be
 very grateful to find any music similar to this in style. 
        
 What I myself find of particular worth in this piece, this composition,
 is the unique harmony. A touch of mysticism, something strange, yet
 beautiful in a somewhat peculiar manner.  

        Music with old roots, mysterious writs, forgotten phrases, lost
 names without meaning anymore. Questions come up. Following the quite
 plain themes, there still is something hidden and cryphtic. Mysteries
 linger after studies. 
        
        The instrumental arrangement is occasionally very simple for
 purpose. Leaves more space to the calmly mystical atmosphere. This piece
 is part of my composition series closely linked with Land of Whispers. It
 again reveals one angle of the story, as have done both the songs "Land
 of Whispers" and "Shelter". Other songs are, however, yet to come.

        Time is the key. The elements have dwelled for centuries and
 created the mood which is supposed to be represented in this particular
 piece. A faint touch of meloncholy mixed with hope and patience.
        Old men from north know the tides. One day shall the torch be
 brought and light will be aimed. From north it arises. In Harmathia it
 sets.

 "And they shall regain what once was stolen. 
 Gloomy winds dwell no more. Birds sing, as if 
 they never had ceased. For rent is the veil and
 ceased has the gale. Thus they learn once again, 
 and settle, as if they never had forgotten."

 minute. How can I be greeting people I don't remember?! So I don't.
 I also can't apologize, for how am I supposed to know if there is 
 need for apologies? But I can do one thing. I can end this meaningless
 prattle with an odd method and let
