III. Aria
O du giessender got an diner gabe,
(O you God who spills over with your gifts,)
O du vliessender got an diner minne,
(O you God who flows with your love,)
O du brennender got an diner gerunge,
(O you God who burns with your desire,)
O du smelzender got an der einunge mit dinem liebe,
(O you God who melts in the union with your beloved,)
O du ruowender got minen brústen!
(O you God who finds repose on my breasts!)
Ane dich ich nút wesen mag!
(Without you I cannot live on!)
O du schoene rose in dem dorne,
(O you rose lovely amongst the thorns,)
O du vliegendes bini in dem honge,
(O you bee darting about in the honey,)
O du reinú tube an dinem wesende,
(O you dove pure in your essence,)
O du schoenú sunne an dinem schine,
(O you sun lovely in your radiance,)
O du voller mane an dinem stande!
(O you full moon in your grandeur!)
Ich mag mich nit von dir gekeren.
(From you I cannot turn aside.)

I am primarily a composer. In the summer of 2010 I embarked on a project of adding a visual component to my music. How would I describe my work? I think of these videos as still photography whose subjects are animated by the music in the background.
