DTextsD I. Reincarnations, Op. 16 Samuel Barber (1910-1981)

1. Mary HynesShe is the skyOf the sun!She is the dartOf love!She is the loveOf my heart!She is a rune!She is aboveThe womenOf the race of Eve,As the sunIs above the moon!

2. Anthony O DalySince your limbs were laid outThe stars do not shine!The fish leap not outIn the waves!On our meadows the dewDoes not fall in the morn.For O Daly is dead!

3. The Coolin (The Fair Haired One)Come with me, under my coat,And we will drink our fillOf the milk of the white goat,Or wine if it be thy will.And we will talk, untilTalk is a trouble, too.Out on the side of the hill;And nothing is left to do,But an eye to look into an eye;

And a hand in a hand to slip;

James Stephens (after the Irish of Raftery)

Lovely and airyThe view from the hillThat looks down onBallylea!But no good sightIs good, untilBy great good luckYou seeThe BlossomOf BranchesWalking towards you,Airily.

Not a flow’r can be born!Not a word can be said!Not a tree have a leaf!Anthony!After youThere is nothing to do!There is nothing but grief!

And a sigh to answer a sigh;And a lip to find out a lip!What if the night be black!And the air on the mountain chill!Where the goat lies down in her track,And all but the fern is still!Stay with me, under my coat!And we will drink our fillOf the milk of the white goat,Out on the side of the hill!

Let us fill up our stomachs.Let us stretch our bellies.It is our local customThat today we should gorge ourselvesFor tomorrow we will fast.

2. Triste España (Encina)Unhappy Spain, deprived of good fortuneEveryone should weep for you,Bereft of joy and neverTo return to your former state.

You have lost an excellent prince,A kingly son without equal.Lament, for you have lost oneWhom you would have exalted.

3. ¿De dónde venís, amores? (Vásquez)Where are you coming from, beloved?I know very well from where.Discreet gentlemanFrom where do you come in the dark of night?

4. Tan buen ganadico (Encina)Such a good little flock,And in such a valleyIs a pleasure to tend.A flock from the mountains,And of such a breed,Very quicky exhaust its bad pasture-land,But in good grass And in such a valleyIt is a pleasure to tend.

Therefore, I want To keep my herdAll about this meadowWith its very good sheepfolds,With such fertile soilAnd in such a valleyIt is a pleasure to tend.

Soloists: Jaeleen Bennis, Rebecca Stuhlbarg, Steven Guire Knight, and John Seales

5. ¿Con qué la lavaré? (Vásquez)With what shall I wash The skin of my face?With what shall I wash it?I live in such sorrow.The ladies wash themselvesWith lemon water.I wash my wretched selfWith anxieties and passions.

6. De los álamos (Vásquez)From the poplars I come, mother,From seeing how the air makes them sway,From the poplars of Seville, From seeing my pretty friend.

5

In his early youth:God took him from you.In so great a sorrowYou cannot hope for comfort.

It is thrivngAnd always keeps quietIt does not go about bleating,Nor is it tiresome;Rather it is peaceful.In any valleyIt is a pleasure to tend.

III. Un soir de neige Francis Poulenc (1899-1963)

1. De grandes cuillers de neigeGreat snowy spoonsPick up our icy feetAnd with a harsh wordWe confront stubborn winterEach tree has its place in the airEach rock has its weight on the earthEach stream its living waterBut we have no fire

2. La bonne neigeThe good snow the black skyThe dead branches the painOf the forest full of trapsShame to the hunted creatureFlight like an arrow in its heartThe tracks of a ferocious preyOnward wolf and it’s alwaysThe finest wolf and it’s alwaysThe last one alive threatened byThe absolute weight of death

DIntermission

3. Bois meurtriBruised woodslost woods of a winter’s journeyShip where the snow takes holdSheltering woods dead woodswhere without hope I dreamOf the sea with its gutted mirrorsA surge of cold waters gripped the drownedMaking the crowd of my body sufferI grow weak I am scatteredI confess my life I confess my death I confess the other

4. La nuit le froid la solitudeNight cold lonelinessThey locked me in carefullyBut the branches were seeking their way into the prisonAround me grass found the skyThey locked and bolted the skyMy prison crumbledThe living cold the burning cold had me right in its hand

–Paul Éluard (1895-1952)

IV Jesu, meine freude J.S. Bach (1685-1750)

1. Jesus, my joy,My heart’s delight,Jesus, my treasure,Ah how long, how longMust my heart be anxious

2. There is now no condemnation in them who are in Christ and who walk not according to the flesh but according to the spirit. (Romans 8:1)

3. Beneath your protectionI am free from the ragingOf all enemies.Let the devil sniff around,Let my enemy become incensed,

4. For the law of the spirit, which makes me living in Christ Jesus, has made me free from the law of sin and death. (Ro-mans 8:2)

5. I defy the ancient dragon,I defy the jaws of death,I defy the fear they cause.Rage, World, and leap upon me,I stand hear and sing

6. But you are not of the flesh, but of the spirit, and so God’s spirit dwells in you in a different way. But whoever does not have Christ’s spirit is not his. (Romans 8:9)

7. Away with all treasures!You are my delight,Jesus, my desire!Away with all vain honors,I don’t want to hear of you,

8. If Christ is in you, then the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is life because of righteousness. (Romans 8:10)

9. Good night, o [earthly] existence,What the world has to offer,Does not please me at all.Good night, you sins,Stay far away from here,

10. Now the spirit that has raised Jesus from the dead, dwells in you. The very same spirit that has raised Jesus from the ..dead, gives life to your mortal bodies, so that his spirit may dwell in you. (Romans 8:11)

11.Vanish, spirits of gloom,For my joyful master,Jesus, enters in.For those who love God,Even their grief

7

And full of longing for you!Lamb of God, my bridegroom,Beside you there is on earth,Nothing else that is dearer to me.

Jesus stands by me.Even though thunder crashes and lightning blazes,Even though sin and hell terrify:Jesus will protect me.

In the calm of certainty.God’s power takes care of me;Earth and hell’s abyss must fall silent,However much they roar.

Remain unknown to me!Suffering, distress, the cross, shame and death,However much I have to suffer,Will never separate me from Jesus.

Come no more to the light!Good night, arrogance and splendor,To everything about you, sinful existence,I bid goodnight.

Must become pure delight.Here I may have scorn and derision,But even in the midst of suffering you remain,Jesus, my joy.
