Earlier this year, I collaborated with ethereal soprano Amethyste to create “Tout Est Si Beau”, a song on her fourth album release, called “Deliverance”, which is now available on iTunes, Amazon, and at many other online retailers.

“Tout Est Si Beau”, also known as “How Fair This Place”, was written by Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943). I did the piano arrangement and performance for this piece, a fitting background to Amethyste’s airy vocals. Amethyste created the French adaption:

Tout est si beau!
(All is beautiful!)
Je vois les feuilles qui dansent avec le vent.
(I see leaves dancing with the wind)
Les fleurs murmurent si doucement
(Flowers, softly whisper)
A propos du beau temps.
(about the joy of life)

Le firmament
(The Firmament)
Dans son Mirage
(within its mirage)
Offre un reflet si bleu.
(Display a reflection that is so blue)
Au ciel,
(to the sky)
Je leve mes paupieres.
(I lift my eyelids)
Mon Dieu!
(My God!)
Tout est si beau!
(All is beautiful!)

Et mon reve se dissipe dans la pluie…
(and my dream fades into the rain)

“Tout Est Si Beau” is only one track of 16 on Amethyste’s ambient “Deliverance” album, so make sure to check out the rest of her album. The album is well over an hour long and is full of different sound textures and Amethyste’s soft voice. I recommend this album to anyone who is looking for meditative, reflective and soul searching music. “Deliverance” creates a soft, hopeful and healing mood that is very much needed in these chaotic times.

Enjoy!
