Create a Handel-esque baroque da capo aria for coloratura soprano, BPM 72 (adagio with sudden allegro flourishes), D major with fleeting minor modulations, core instrumentation: baroque string orchestra, harpsichord continuo, viola da gamba (substituted for theorbo), baroque oboe, and soft timpani rolls. The narrative follows a 17th-century Venetian glassblower’s daughter marveling at a newly blown stained-glass window depicting a starlit miracle, emotion shifting from reverent softness to exuberant, trill-laced awe. Lyrics lean into ornate, biblically inflected poetic phrasing, laced with imagery of molten glass catching candlelight, angelic light refracting through shards, and quiet gratitude for small, sacred crafts. The B section leans into minor mode, a quiet, improvisatory meditation on the fragility of the glass before the da capo return to celebratory major. Vocal lines feature elaborate mordents, trills, and a 16-bar cadenza at the close, in the vein of Emma Kirkby’s delicate virtuosity.

[Intro] [Verse] The molten fire glows Where liquid silver flows The glass begins to shine With artistry divine [Build-up] The glowing embers fade In colors newly made The sacred window gleams With holy starlight beams [Pre-Chorus] Behold the crystal star The angels start to sing It beams from heaven far To praise the newborn King [Chorus] O radiant light So pure and bright Through ruby shards it gleams In holy, heavenly streams [Post-Chorus] I sing, I rise, I see The starlight set us free My voice will soar and fly Into the painted sky [Break] [Verse] The blowing iron spins A sacred work begins The breath of life is blown To make the miracle known [Build-up] The candle captures grace Upon the Virgin's face The sapphire sea is deep Where silent spirits sleep [Pre-Chorus] The glassblower's design Reflects the holy word A vessel made divine By prayers quietly heard [Chorus] O radiant light So pure and bright Through ruby shards it gleams In holy, heavenly streams [Post-Chorus] I sing, I rise, I see The starlight set us free My voice will soar and fly Into the painted sky [Bridge] But breath is only dust And iron turns to rust This glass so thin and frail Is like a mortal veil [Interlude] One sigh can break the grace Of this celestial face Yet still the colors hold More precious than all gold [Solo] [Chorus] O radiant light So pure and bright Through ruby shards it gleams In holy, heavenly streams [Post-Chorus] I sing, I rise, I see The starlight set us free My voice will soar and fly Into the painted sky [Hook] Ah, hear my voice And sing, rejoice My spirit will rise Beyond the skies [Outro]
