The Witch and The Saint
Currently " The Witch and The Saint " is on the repeat track.Just cant stop listening to this wonderful piece by Steven Reineke. & whenever i listen to this piece, i would keep imagining about the things that took place though i don't really know what had happened. I believe that behind this wonderful piece lies a sad story as it gives me a feeling of a melancholy story being told through the strong music phrases. True enough, when i research more about the song just now, i found from yahoo that there's indeed a sad story that leads Steven Reineke to compose it. So here goes the story... Helena and Sibylla were twins born in Germany in 1588. In that era twins were a bad omen and said to draw evil towards them. The girls also had the gift of foresight and were able to see that which had not yet come to pass. The suspicions of the general public were supported once the girls were old enough and began using their ability. Sibylla was raised at home and it took very little time for the village to notice her unexplainable knowledge of the future. When they did, She was labeled witch and sorceress by the townsfolk and was hated and feared. She led a quiet, empty childhood being bullied and shunned by society. Helena led a very different life. She was sent away to a convent to be raised in the church as a nunn. Once her ability was discovered the community revered her and she was seen as a saint and sage by everyone and given the highest respect by even the wisest of men. The two girls grew up facing their own challenges and struggles trying to fit into the societies in to which they had been placed. Helena continued her life as a saint and prophet and Sibylla learned to be a midwife and helped the people as best she could. She was eventually accused of being a witch and sent to jail for life. Helena learned of her sister’s trouble and raced back to the town they had been born in to rescue her sister. Helena freed her sister from the jail and they ran off towards the forest. Before they got very far, however, they were captured. In her fear of the wrath of the villagers, and of the torment, Helena drank a poison and died in her sister’s arms. Sibylla’s heart was shattered, and while still grieving the loss of the only one in the world she had ever loved, she buried her sister’s body. She then rode off to find a place where she wouldn’t be known as a witch. She was never seen again. ___________________________________________________________ Nice and sad story isn't it? If only the band can play this wonderful piece... |
