Christopher Tin - Iza Ngomso "Come Tomorrow" (Visualizer)

Listen to "Iza Ngomso" from my new compilation EP 'The Inspiration Thread', a collection of my most inspiring pieces all grouped together. Link here: https://christophertin.lnk.to/Inspira...

The piece was sketched out on a plane, en route from Dubai to Johannesburg. Looking out my window at the tops of the clouds, I imagined a noble, soaring melody over a rapid stream of triplets.

The text itself is an adaptation of lines from one Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem 'Keramos', translated into Xhosa by my friend Kanyi Maqubela and his mother Vuyelwa:

The mist and cloud will turn to rain,
The rain to mist and cloud again,
To-morrow be to-day.

"Iza Ngomso" is the fourth movement of my album 'The Drop That Contained the Sea'. The album is notable in that every piece is inspired by a different phase of the water cycle--in this case, mist--and each movement is ordered in the way that water flows through the world. Taken as a whole, the album essentially traces a single raindrop as it transforms from clouds to snow, mountain streams to rivers, oceans to rain, and back to rain again, in a perfect cycle.

The piece is performed by Soweto Gospel Choir (with Victor Makhathini singing the solo) and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by me.
