Tracy Hickman Pens Lyrics for Movie Music
Wednesday, 22 August 2007
From Cindi Rice, Executive Producer...
The music for the Dragonlance movie has been one of the most exciting Parts of the entire process! I thought you'd all enjoy a sneak peek at the original lyrics Tracy Hickman composed for one of the songs. It's a Qualinesti homage to Tanis, composed High Elven. This particular poem contains words that have not been heard before among humankind.
After his most recent visit to Los Angeles, Tracy reported: "I am deeply honored that Karl invited me to contribute a few words to his magnificent score. Sitting in the recording studio in L.A. and listening to the Prague orchestra play the main title to the movie was an unforgettable moment in my life."
Here are the lyrics Tracy composed, in both High Elven and in English:
Tha-la-si E-le-vas / The Road/Way Eternal
Ki Va-li-nost / Guides (all) home
Quen-ta so-la-ri nen heth y Thon / My the stars shine your way
home
Val-thon-is eth / Exiles end
Ple-ni-sha-rei / Winter's close
Qual-i-a-reth / Spring bossoms
Sha-rei-a / Bringing breath to me.
