Program Notes for Dreamweaver DREAMWEAVER is based on parts of the well-known Norwegian medieval folk poem Draumkvedet, an epic ballad that has a lot in common with Dante’s e Divine Comedy. e protagonist, Olav Åsteson, falls asleep on Christmas Eve and sleeps for thirteen days. He wakes up and rides to church to describe his dreams about his brave, beautiful, terrifying, and ultimately redeeming journey through the a erlife to the congregation. For this composition, the Draumkvedet poem has been adapted into a playful interpretation in English penned by Charles Anthony Silvestri. Dreamweaver Lyrics 1. Prologue Across the sky, The Deceiver turned in fear, I sing the sacred vision The way was barred and fled from before the Glory of Of the All-Wise Wand’rer, To all but wise. the Lord and the Host of Heaven. The Weaver of Dreams. I went across. On Christmas Eve he fell asleep, Among the souls So deep, so deep, This bridge was spanned Who trembled there And woke upon Epiphany across a sea of ice – Burdened down With tales to tell. A silver band, a way to Paradise. With sin and fear, He hurried to the holy Mass A fair wide land did open up at last; I took my place. And stood upon the threshold; I stopped to stand where Future reckons The warp and weft of wandering To Christ the Judge He wove into his tale. Past. St. Michael spoke, Defending us 2. Dreamsong And in that place the Pilgrim Church did Despite our shame. And this was his dreamsong: rise I hung my head. My journey began In a rugged land, Where, full of grace, our Holy Mother wise So one by one Hard and fast Bade me embrace her heart of gold and We stood alone And unforgiving. red; Before our Maker I made my way. And o’er her face a loving smile was And our Judge. spread. He called my name. 3. The Bridge Beasts there were, I met a man, whose cloak was stained in His burning heart And wilder things, blood, Loved away my shame, And shades of night And forged my soul Were in that land; All mired was he, up to his knees in Anew by Grace– I was afraid. mud; I was redeemed! The monster’s claws He held a frightened child under his arm, 7. Epilogue Tore at my cloak; And bitterly he wept for causing harm. Cloaked all in lead another fell, With piercing eyes Laden with burdens heavy; They saw my soul. 5. Paradise She lost her soul in fear of hell I ran away. She spoke in gentle tone and bade me go In hope she might be free. Where every sin is known, where cold For many leagues Others there were by pain ensnared I travelled west winds blow, By their grief and tribulation Until at last– Unto the very throne of God to see Hoping that they may yet be spared My journey’s end– Where sorrow is unknown, forgiveness, And praying for salvation. I saw the Bridge! Stretching out free. He forged their souls Anew by Grace– 6. Dominion And all were redeemed. And through darkness appeared the Christ, wreathed in light, flanked by saints and angels beyond number, and crowned as King and Judge over all the earth.
