1) Caprice is a neo-classical ensemble from Russia distinguished by Inna Brejestovskaya’s heavenly voice and acoustic sound (harp, flute, clarinet, violin, cello) with a touch of electronics. The band's debut album was released in 1996.

Probably the band’s best known project is the Elven trilogy – an attempt to show what the music of the parallel world of Faerie sounds like. The first two CDs are musical illustrations of JRR Tolkien's novels, while the third part of the trilogy is sung in the unique language of Laoris. The music was mainly composed by Anton Brejestovski, who also invented Laoris, the language of the faeries, used in the Elven trilogy.

Their 2008's album "Kywitt! Kywitt!", includes one track performed with the enigmatic band DVAR, who had already contributed with one cover for the Russian edition of the debut album "Mirror".

Caprice Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tread lightly, she is near
Under the snow,
Speak gently, she can hear
The daisies grow.

Tread lightly, she is near
Under the snow,
Speak gently, she can hear

The daisies grow.

Lilly-like, white as snow,
Lilly-like, white as snow,

She hardly knew
She hardly knew

She was a woman, so

She was a woman, so
Sweetly she grew.
Sweetly she grew.

All her bright golden hair
Tarnished with rust,
She that was young and fair
Fallen to dust.
All her bright golden hair
Tarnished with rust,
She that was young and fair
Fallen to dust.
Lilly-like, white as snow,
Lilly-like, white as snow,
She hardly knew
She hardly knew
She was a woman, so
She was a woman, so
Sweetly she grew.
Sweetly she grew.
Coffin-board, heavy stone,
Lie on her breast,
I vex my heart alone,
She is at rest.
Coffin-board, heavy stone,
Lie on her breast,
I vex my heart alone,
She is at rest.
Peace, Peace, she cannot hear
Lyre or sonnet (lyre or sonnet)
All my life's buried here,
Heap earth upon it.
Peace, Peace, she cannot hear
Lyre or sonnet (lyre or sonnet)
All my life's buried here,
Heap earth upon it.
Tread lightly, she is near
Under the snow,
Speak gently, she can hear
The daisies grow.
Coffin-board, heavy stone,
Lie on her breast,
I vex my heart alone,
She is at rest.

I vex my heart alone,
She is at rest (she's at rest).

The first stanza instructs the listener to tread lightly and speak gently, as the woman being mourned is close by, buried under the snow.

The third stanza describes the coffin-board lying heavy on her chest and the singer's heartache at being unable to ease her burden.
