Closing the Circle by Leanne Daharja Veitch — Lyrics
By the Earth, by all fleshly beings
By the Water, and all creatures that drink from her
By the Fire, and the shining spirits of the Bright Ones
By the Breath that gives all Life.

About Closing the Circle
Closing the Circle is a sacred work by Leanne Daharja Veitch, drawing from pagan traditions. Scored for women and men, its English text invokes the elemental forces of Earth, Water, Fire, and Air, acknowledging all beings and creatures connected to them. The lyrics express a sense of invocation and then a gentle release, bidding the "Bright Ones" depart in peace. The music aims to capture the spiritual essence of these ancient connections and the cyclical nature of existence, making it suitable for ceremonies or contemplative services that honour the natural world and its energies. This piece offers a reflective and atmospheric setting for a mixed-voice choir.
