I was angry with my friend; I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe: I told it not, my wrath did grow. And I waterd it in fears, Night & morning with my tears: And I sunned it with smiles, And with soft deceitful wiles. And it grew both day and night. Till it bore an apple bright. And my foe beheld it shine, And he knew that it was mine. And into my garden stole, When the night had veild the pole; In the morning glad I see; My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

For all that we are is time, spinning through ages indifferent to how we may bid for more or less from this temptress we follow. So fickle though, showing us glimpses of flowing spaces of timelessness. Pressed against us time colours all that we know. Such translucent evanescence, yet concrete in all that is left in the ebb of time. Mortal play things for a serpentine god who laughs endlessly, endlessly at our child-like hoping, softly knowing, All we are is time

about

Orenda is a brand new project from saxophonist, composer, and song-writer Josephine Davies that integrates music, poetry and spoken word. It celebrates the traditional music from the musicians countries of origin, particularly Shetland, Norway, Turkey, Germany and Ireland. They flavour these folk melodies with their own influences from the classical and jazz worlds.
The word Orenda comes from the Iroquois people; it is a spiritual force that may be called forth through song for acts of power, creativity and healing, though it may also be used as a destructive force.
