Christopher Tin | Behind "Nocturne" @christophertin | Uploaded March 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
"Nocturne" was released on World Sleep Day 2021, and is a collaboration with pianist Wei Luo. It was inspired by the Eliza Acton poem, "I Love Thee":
I love thee, as I love the calm
Of sweet, star-lighted hours!
I love thee, as I love the balm
Of early jes'mine flow'rs.
I love thee, as I love the last
Rich smile of fading day,
Which lingereth, like the look we cast,
On rapture pass'd away.
I love thee as I love the tone
Of some soft-breathing flute
Whose soul is wak'd for me alone,
When all beside is mute.
I love thee as I love the first
Young violet of the spring;
Or the pale lily, April-nurs'd,
To scented blossoming.
I love thee, as I love the full,
Clear gushings of the song,
Which lonely-sad-and beautiful-
At night-fall floats along,
Pour'd by the bul-bul forth to greet
The hours of rest and dew;
When melody and moonlight meet
To blend their charm, and hue.
I love thee, as the glad bird loves
The freedom of its wing,
On which delightedly it moves
In wildest wandering.
I love thee as I love the swell,
And hush, of some low strain,
Which bringeth, by its gentle spell,
The past to life again.
Such is the feeling which from thee
Nought earthly can allure:
'Tis ever link'd to all I see
Of gifted-high-and pure!
"Nocturne" was originally composed for the 2006 independent film 'The Insatiable', directed by Cary Solomon and Chuck Konzelman and starring Sean Patrick Flanery, Michael Biehn, and Charlotte Ayanna. The piece plays twice in the film: first during a scene when Ayanna's character Tatiana recites the original Eliza Acton poem, and again over the closing credits.
