<p>“A Leaf from the Tree of Songs” is a poem by Adam Christianson. I put the words to song years ago but never recorded more than a rough demo of it. The melody always stuck with me, so I finally got around to reproducing it as electronic music in Bitwig. </p>



<span id="more-760"></span>



<p>Here is the poem — the words align with the verse melody; everything else is instrumental.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>When harpers once<br>in wooden hall<br>A shining chord would strike<br>Their songs like arrows pierced the soul<br>Of great and low alike</p>



<p>Aglow by hearth and candleflame<br>From burning branch of ember<br>The mist of all their music sang<br>As if to ask in wonder</p>



<p>Is there a moment quite as keen<br>Or memory as bright<br>As light and fire and music (sweet)<br>To warm the winter’s night?<br><em>— Adam Christianson</em></p>
</blockquote>



<p>And here’s the Bitwig audio.</p>
