Caisen'Shar (Old Blood) is a hauntingly beautiful piece from the Wheel of Time series, composed initially by Lorne Balfe and now arranged by Kira Zeeman Rugen for SSAB Choir. It features the use of the Old Tongue from Robert Jordans books, evoking a fantasy world filled with mystery and ancient knowledge. It is voiced for SSAB and accompanied by piano with optional guitar and drum. The arrangement enhances the warm, safe feeling with its lush harmonies, creating a nostalgic and Celtic-like atmosphere. Appropriate for concerts with themes of home and belonging or a desire for genres that give cinematic fantasy vibes. SSAB Piano. *Optional Guitar, and Hand drum.
