Sonnet 122 by Haltia (Ella&Redler)

Hi all!

I had a song sketch on my BR-80 and on last Saturday we tried fit it to Sonnet 122. Thanks for listening.

Lyrics written by William Shakespeare
Music composed and performed by Redler
Vocal melody composed by Ella
Two tracks of LaMancha Perla Negra classical guitar
ThumbJam cellos in the end
Recorded on BR-80, trimmed on Audacity

Thy gift, thy tables, are within my brain
Full charactered with lasting memory,
Which shall above that idle rank remain,
Beyond all date, even to eternity:
Or, at the least, so long as brain and heart
Have faculty by nature to subsist;
Till each to razed oblivion yield his part
Of thee, thy record never can be missed.
That poor retention could not so much hold,
Nor need I tallies thy dear love to score;
Therefore to give them from me was I bold,
To trust those tables that receive thee more:
To keep an adjunct to remember thee
Were to import forgetfulness in me.

Loved it from the opening descending arpeggios. That classical guitar sounds absolutely sublime. And then that beautiful vocal. Wow! This is gorgeous.

Love it guys... the vocal and melody fit the sonnet beautifully. The guitar sounds fantastic, such a warm sound.

I had to look up "La Mancha Pearla Negra" on google as my wife is from La Mancha. The guitar is a beauty and has me wishing I owned one, but I already have 4 guitars and in a pretty small house I don't think I can get any more unless I offload one.

Anyway, beautiful stuff guys.

Classical guitar and TJ cello are a great combination, especially in your hands. And such heavenly vocals - beautiful! I could listen to this again and again on repeat - in fact, think I will.

Great collab, you two.
