Adaptation, Libretto, and Music by James Nathaniel Holland Performance: James Nathaniel Holland, Tenor Orchestra: CH Symphony Group (Complete Duration: 2 hours)

BRIEF SYNOPSIS: In the urban capital of Soon Rafa, lovers Mariana (Soprano) and Kai (Bass) cannot be together because of Mariana's disapproving wealthy Aunt (Mezzo-Soprano). Torn between love and financial security, an unlikely opportunity arises when a dying rich Occidental, Justin (Tenor) reveals his romantic interest in Kai. The couple plot a pretense to inherit Justin's money and be free to marry and live together. This aria occurs in Act I, Scene 2. Justin (tenor) has just hired a group of porters, including Kai (bass), to guide him through the jungles of the island to photograph the mythical bird, the Scarlet Messenger. Although the men insist it is a legend, Justin inspires them to persevere with him.

Aria Libretto, Justin (tenor singing):
From the hillside, something breaks free.
Is it real? Or just illusion?
Oh how I have to see you, feel that beauty.
Upon your wings our souls must one day fly to heaven.
Never doubt that you can find him, hiding among your dreams.
For when you feel all hope is gone, that's when you spot his red wings, fiery bright. (to the group of porters)
So come with me, all's not in vain. It is real, just not illusion.
The day is fading fast, oh, so quickly.
We'll be the first to see that blazing path of fire.
The Scarlet Messenger!
Oh how that would be the greatest gift of my life.

Beautiful and bright as the Red Rose;
With only one hope: 'You'll remember me.'
Know that I'll always love you,
And that this love will not fade.
Fresh, so sweet, the fragrance,
Of those happy times, wonderful, sublime, we once shared.
If I should dare, say you still care!
Think of my love as a Rose.
(Brief music interlude)
I wish you nothing but gladness,
And a life filled with Joy!
Seasons may come;
Years, they may go,
Love can survive,
Through Winter's snow.
And so this love will for you,
Think of my love as a Rose.
As Seasons fly; Years, as they go,
Think of my love as a Rose!
J.N. Holland
