about

Butterfly is part of Rose & the Nightingale’s current project, The Spirit of the Garden, celebrating the sublimity of gardens through song & poetry. Inspired by botanical gardens the world over, and the sense of contemplation & connection one can experience in these special spaces, The Spirit of the Garden’s lyrical, energetic, and inspiring music features three part vocal harmonies, violin, cello, piano, trumpet, and percussion. Post-concert remarks from audience members have shown Rose & the Nightingale’s ability to cut through to a deeper level of human connection through the energy of music.

All the lyrics in The Spirit of the Garden are poems celebrating the nexus of spirituality and nature, and the ability to connect and feel a part of something greater through open & aware engagement with the natural world. The songs offer immense gratitude to botanical gardens’ role as contemplative spaces, as places helping us reflect and engage with our concepts of individual versus collective identity. Poets featured include living American poets Maria Brady Smith, Ella Cvancara, Silvi Alcivar, Evan Karp & Wyn Cooper, as well as Oc poet Miquel Decor (southern France), and Rumi.

lyrics

Butterfly
Beating your wings

On this tiny leaf, all white
You will gather the nectar
Of the almond blossom
And you will bring me back your breath
