Ice Pond

Intro

Expressivo.
The music plays soft in the background,
The beautiful combination of string, brass and piano.
Echoing the valley as if a magical spell,
The stream of water in the mountain slowly freezes to ice.


Primo

Legato.
A pair of ballet dancers on the ice pond,
Gesturing gracefully and rhythmically on the ballet floor.
An obvious scene of their immersion in the beauty of the music,
And they never stop.


Secondo

Klangfarbenmelodie.
An artist with his painting kits,
Answers to the call of the ice pond.
The music is still playing.
Being another casted pawn,
He begins brushing across the blue crystal,
In a mess of pink, orange, crimson, violet, and indigo. 


Cadenza

Pizzicato.
A soloist with his grey viola joins the performers.
Without a bow, he begins plucking the strings,
Adding a mysterious Swan Lake rhythm to the existing spell.
Sensing the variation, 
The ballet dancers match their steps accordingly.
As the music gets energico...


Coda

Presto.
The ballet femme turns black.
With the spread of its black, magnificient wings,
She begins circling the ice pond with the blade pointing sharp to the ground.
Fouetté en tournant is now playing,
Spinning the magical atmosphere into a black hole.
The musician does not seem to realize it;
Fully possessed by the spell,
He continues playing aggressive chorus to bring the opera to the climax.


Finale

Descendo.
The Black Swan sores high towards the black hole,
And she lands hard on the ground when the wings are gone.
The ice pond begins breaking into pieces of ice bergs,
Splitting each performer far, far away.
The thinning of ice continues,
And the warm water beneath reaches them inches by inches.



The spell is breaking, and what if the beautiful music stops?
Everyone falls, of course.


 Ice Pond -- the mysterious song















"Beauty is but an illusion, in which the invisible power will attract the naive's and blind them from all the truths. 
Be wise, or you will fall into one of the mists, the darkness."
