UNE OMBRE DU BONHEUR
le silence parfait
profond et solitaire
d'un langage mystérieux
par élans envolé
le chaud rayon endormi
d'une douce verdure
coule sur le ruisseau
enlacé au brouillard
parmi le vent étonné
serein, humble et tendre
une étrange chorégraphie
s’inclina sous ses pas
(pause)
au-delà des mers inconnues
je démarre mon vol de nouveau
là bas, sous le ciel anonyme
le rayon effleure sa couleur

Recorded by Miguel Azguime in November 2020 at O'Culto da Ajuda during the Creative Sources Festival XIV, is for me the most beautiful and equilibrated album of String Theory. As always there is only one track, "Une ombre du bonheur", lasting this time 37 minutes. The music was inspired by the poem of Ernesto of the same title, "Une hombre du bonheur”. Maciej Lewenstein
The 8-piece String Theory ensemble directed by violist Ernesto Rodrigues performs a beautiful and subtle work inspired by a poem written by Rodrigues, "Une Ombre Du Bonheur", realized through viola, violin, cellos, viola de gamba, double bass, piano, zither and objects, a stunningly beautiful and deceptively tranquil work of exceptional detail and dexterous execution.
