György Orbán:
Nunc Dimittis
Luke 2:29-32
Nunc dimittis servum tuum Domine secundum
verbum tuum in pace
Quia viderunt oculi mei salutare tuum, quod
parasti ante faciem omnium populorum, lumen
ad revelationem gentium et gloria plebis tuae
Israel.
Felix Mendelssohn:
Die Nachtigall
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)
Die Nachtigall, sie war entfernt,
der Frühling lockt sie wieder,
was neues hat sie nicht gelernt,
singt alte liebe Lieder.
Randall Thompson:
The paper reeds by the brooks
Isaiah 19:7
The paper reeds by the brooks,
by the mouth of the brooks,
and evʼrything sown by the brooks shall wither,
be drivʼn away, and be no more.
Franz Schubert:
Kyrie, from Mass in G
Kyrie eleison,
Christe eleison,
Kyrie eleison.
Samuel Barber:
To Be Sung on the Water
Louise Bagan
Beautiful, my delight,
Pass as we pass the wave.
Pass, as the mottled night
Leaves what it cannot save,
Scattering dark and bright.
Beautiful, my delight,
Less than the guiltless shade
To which our vows were said;
Less than the sound of the oar
To which our vows were made
Beautiful, my delight,
Less than the sound of the blade
Dipping the stream once more.
Beautiful, my delight.
Song of Simeon
Now let your servant depart in peace according
to your word, Lord.
For my eyes have seen your salvation, which
you have prepared before the face of all
people; to be a light to shine before the
Gentiles, and to be the glory of your people,
Israel.
The Nightingale
The nightingale, she was away,
The Spring called her back.
She has not learned anything new,
She sings the same old love songs.
Kyrie
Lord have mercy,
Christ have mercy,
Lord have mercy.
György Orbán:
Daemon Irrepit Callidus
Daemon irrepit callidus
Allicit cor honoribus;
Daemon ponit fraudes inter laudes, saltus,
cantus
Quidquid amabile daemon dat
Cor Jesu minus aestimat.
Cordis aestum non explebunt, non arcebunt,
Daemon!
Marques L.A. Garrett:
Were You There?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble,
tremble, tremble,
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they nailed Him to the
tree?
Were you there when they nailed Him to the
tree?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble,
tremble, tremble,
Were you there when they nailed Him to the
tree?
Were you there when they laid Him in the
tomb?
Were you there when they laid Him in the
tomb?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble,
tremble, tremble,
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
They crucified my Lord,
They nailed Him to the tree,
They pierced Him in His side,
The blood came streaminʼ down,
They laid Him in the tomb,
Then He rose that day,
Now, he reigns on high.
Oh, were you there?
Marc-Antoine Charpentier:
Sanctus, Messe de Nuit
Mass Ordinary
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus.
Plent sunt caeli et terra gloria tua.
Hosanna in excelsis.
The Demon Sneaks Expertly
The demon sneaks expertly,
Tempting the honorable heart;
He offers trickery amid praise, dance, and
song.
However amiably the demon acts,
it is still counted less than the heart of Jesus.
Poor, passionate, undisciplined demon!
Sanctus
Holy, Holy, Holy.
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Pablo Casals:
Nigra Sum
Text from the Song of Solomon
Nigra sum sed formosa
Filiae Jerusalem,
Ideo dilexit me Rex,
Et introduxit me in cubiculum suum.
Et dixit mihi:
Surge et veni amica mea,
Jam hiems transiit,
Imber abiit et recessit.
Flores apparuerunt in terra nostra,
Tempus putationis advenit. Alleluia.
Theron Kirk:
Galan Incognita
Mexican Folk Song, trans. T.K.
When it was dark one night,
a gallant ventured forth to serenade his love
and win her heart;
In shadows dark and cold beneath her balcony
he sang his song of love:
O lovely maiden fair, thy face so heavenly,
So gently sleeping now, in dreams devout,
O wake to hear my song; your window open,
O hear my song of love.
The lovely maiden fair awoke
and heard the song, but closed her eyes again
and said: “be gone.”
It is some wanderer; I have no time for that,
Open my window, no!
It is too cold.
For should I get a chill,
Iʼll catch my death of cold.
It is too damp tonight, Iʼll not arise.
The troubadour his old guitar packed up,
And to another window went to sing,
“O lovely maiden fair, thy face so heavenly,
so gently sleeping now in dreams devout.
O wake to hear my song, your window open,
O hear my song of love, my song of love.
Ludovico Grossi da Viadana:
O Sacrum Convivium
O sacrum convivium,
in quo Christus sumitur:
recolitur memoria passionis ejus.
Mens impletur gratia,
et futurae gloriae
nobis pignus datur.
Alleluia.
I Am Dark
I am dark, but comely,
Daughters of Jerusalem,
Therefore the King loved me,
And brought me into his chamber.
And he said to me:
Arise, my love, and come:
For now the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone.
The flowers have appeared in our land,
The time of pruning is come. Alleluia!
O Sacred Banquet
O sacred banquet
in which Christ is received,
the memory of his passion is recalled,
the mind is filled with grace,
and the pledge of future glory
is given to us.
Alleluia.
Hugo Alfvén:
Gryning vid havet
Text by Sten Selander
Blankt som en sköld av koppar och stål ligger
havet,
men djupt under ytan går strömmen stark.
Allt är så tyst, som om livet själv låg begravet
under de nattsvarta åsarnas mark.
Stiger ej morgonen snart över bergen?
Himlen är röd, det är hot i den vredesrodnande
färgen. Stormen skall komma, stormen från
havet,
Stormen som ryter, skrattar, stormen som slår,
manligt härlig, härlig och stark!
Nick Page:
Niška Banja
Serbian Gypsy Dance
Niška Banja topla voda
Zaniš lije živa zjoda.
Emka ravla,
Andoniši name kavla.
Nišlike su fine dame
Nešeta ju nikad same.
Jek duj duj duj de šj duj
Cumi date čaje ando muj.
James Mulholland:
Measure Me, Sky!
Leonora Speyer (1872-1956)
Measure me, sky!
Tell me I reach by a song
Nearer the stars;
I have been little so long.
Weigh me, high wind!
What will your wild scales record?
Profit of pain,
Joy by the weight of a word.
Horizon, reach out!
Catch at my hands, stretch me taut.
Rim of the world,
Widen my eyes by a thought.
Sky, be my depth,
Wind by my width and my height,
World, my heartʼs span;
Loveliness, wings for flight.
Dawn by the Sea
Smooth as a shield of copper and steel lies the
sea,
but deep under the surface goes the strong
current.
All is so quiet, as if life itself lay buried under
the black-as-night earth of the hills.
Shall not the morning rise soon over the
mountain?
The sky is red, there is a threat in its angrily
reddening color. The storm will come, the
storm from the sea,
The storm that roars, laughs, the storm that
strikes, manfully glorious, glorious and strong!
The Baths of Niš
The public bath near Niš, hot water,
for the naughty boys a real convenience.
I will get her, I will love her,
and in Niš I wll leave her.
We Nišlije, fun loving people
cannot go on without brandy;
Without plum brandy,
without young Gypsy girl.
Heinrich Schütz:
Cantate Domino
Cantate Domino
Canticum novum,
Quia mirabilia fecit,
Salvavit, dextera sua,
Ea brachio sancto suo.
Rollo Dilworth:
Shine on me
Shine on me.
I wonder if the lighthouse will shine on me.
Mack Wilberg:
O Whistle and Iʼll Come to Ye
Robert Burns (1759-1796)
O, whistle an' I'll come to ye, my lad,
O, whistle an' I'll come to ye, my lad!
Tho' father and mother and all should go mad,
O, whistle an' I'll come to ye, my lad!
But take you great care when you come to
court me,
And come not unless the back-gate be a-jee;
Then up the back-style, and let nobody see,
And come as ye were not cominʼ to me,
And come as ye were not cominʼ to me.
At kirk, or at market, whene'er ye meet me,
Go by me as tho' that ye cared not a flee;
But steal me a blink of your bonnie black eye,
Yet look as ye were not lookinʼ at me,
Yet look as ye were not lookinʼ at me!
Ay vow and protest that ye care not for me,
at times ye may laugh at my beauty a wee;
But court not another tho' jokinʼ ye be,
For fear that she wile your fancy frae me,
For fear that she wile your fancy frae me!
Leonard Bernstein:
Spring Song
Revecy venir du printemps
Laudate Dominum.
Alleluia.
Court Song
Fi, mari, de vostre amour.
Cour jʼai ami, noble et de bel atour.
Tout lʼaime aussi.
Fi, mari.
Me sert de nuit et de jour
Tout lʼaime aussi.
Fi, mari.
Sing to the Lord
Sing to the Lord
a new song,
for he hath done marvelous things.
His right hand and His holy arm
hath gotten Him the victory.
Spring Song
Look here, spring comes again.
Praise the Lord.
Alleluia.
Court Song
Fie, husband, on your love,
For I have friends, noble and waiting,
all who love me too.
Fie, husband.
They serve me night and day.
They all love me, too.
Fie, husband.
Soldierʼs Song
Vive la Jeanne, la jolie, jolie Jeanne.
James Mulholland:
A Red, Red Rose
Text by Robert Burns (1759-96)
O, my luveʼs like a red, red rose,
Thatʼs new sprung in June.
O my luveʼs like the melodie
Thatʼs sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I,
I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till all the seas gang dry,
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands of life shall run.
Till the seas gang dry, my dear,
And rocks melt with the sun!
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I.
I will come again, my luve,
Thoʼ it were ten thousand mile!
Adolphus Hailstork:
I Will Life Up Mine Eyes
3. Alleluia. The Lord is My Shepherd
Psalm 23
Alleluia.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want,
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures,
He leadeth me beside still waters,
He restoreth my soul.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
For thou art with me,
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before in the presence
of mine enemies.
Thou anointest my head with oil,
My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
Alleluia.
I will lift up mine eyes to the hills.
Alleluia.
Soldierʼs Song
Long live Joan, the pretty, pretty Joan.
