[1] O vos omnes†...............Tomás Luis de Victoria
O all you who pass this way,
behold and see if there is any sorrow

Hail Mary, full of grace,

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

[4] Gloria (from the Messe) #...............Frank Martin
Glory to God in the highest.
And on earth peace to all those of good will.
We give thanks to Thee according to Thy great glory.
Lord God, Heavenly King, God the Father Almighty.
Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son.
Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father.
Thou who takest away the sins of the world,
Thou who takest away the sins of the world,
Thou who sittest at the right hand of the Father,
For Thou alone art holy. Thou alone art the Lord.
Thou alone art the Most High, Jesus Christ.
With the Holy Spirit in the glory of God the Father.

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts,
Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory.

Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world,
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world,
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world,
Accompanied by the Bergonzi Quartet
A picture is engraved in my heart;
Moving between light and darkness:
A sort of silence envelops your body,
And your hair falls upon your face just so.
"Mostly," said the roof to the sky;
"The distance between you and I is endlessness;
and only one centimeter was left between us."
He was full of tenderness;
As much as she tried to stay thus,
Simply, and with no good reason,
He took her into himself,
in the softest, softest place.
Selections from Neue Liebeslieder, Op. 65
Poems by Georg Friedrich Daumer
Accompanied by David Rhyne and
[12] Verzicht, o Herz, auf Rettung
Despair of rescue, O heart,
Abandon yourself in the sea of love!
For a thousand boats float
Shattered near this shore!
[13] Finstere Schatten der Nacht
Dark shadows of the night,
Treacherous wave and current!
Can understand your plight?
Expanse of the tossing sea,
Miles distant from the shore!
[14] Ihr schwarzen Augen, ihr durft nur winken
You have only to wink your dark eye
And palaces fall and cities crumble.
How can my heart withstand such
An assault, in its house of cards?
[15] Rosen steckt mir an die Mutter
Since I am so melancholy.
She is right: the roses fade
Just as I do, pining away.
[16] Vom Geibirge Well' auf Well'
From mountains come wave upon
wave of drenching downpour.
And I would as readily have given
you a hundred thousand kisses.
[17] Weiche Gräser im Revier
Soft grasses in this spot
Lovely, quiet little place!
Oh how peacefully one rests here,
I feel a poison gnawing at my heart.
Can a maiden live an entire,
Without giving in to her tender
[19] Alles, alles in den Wind
All of it is lost to the wind,
What you say to me, you flatterer!
Your efforts are altogether
Because you are a wanton thief,
and you make love to them all!
[20] Schwarzer Wald, dein Schatten
Dark woods, your shadows are so
Poor heart, your sorrows are so
What matters is right in front of me.
Sweet union is forever impossible.
[21] Nein, Geliebter, setze dich mir
Sarah Bright, soprano; Lissette Jimenez, alto
However much your heart may burn,
So that the world will not know
[22] Flammenauge, dunkles Haar
Burning eyes, jet-black hair,
Delightful and audacious boy,
Because of you my poor heart
Can ice come from the sun's fire
Or the day change itself into night?
Can the passionate man's breast
Breathe with love's desire?
Is the field so full of light
That the flower is left in the dark?
Is the world so full of joy
That the heart is left in pain?
[23]Zum Schluss: Nun, ihr Musen, genug!
You strive in vain to show
Mingle in the loving breast.
You cannot heal the wounds
That Cupid has inflicted,
[24] Las Agachadas (The Shake-Down Song)*.....Aaron Copland
Mandy Spivak, Ashaala Jenkins, Lissette Jimenez
Brian Shaw, Adam Gilbert, Kier Lehman, soloists
It's a shake down; they call it jump,
With a bald-headed cousin I want to step it,
Jump it and dip it down, Peter.
Jump it and dip it down, John.
Jump it and step it and hop it and dip it
you'll jump for the law or you won't
Swing away jump and shake down
Pull in four bill collectors,
Four Bible salesmen, four more chums
drinking moonshine, twelve friends and neighbors,
Jump it and dip it down, Peter.
Jump it and dip it down, John.
Jump it and step it and hop it
you'll jump for the law or you won't with
a cousin-in-law by your grandpappy's paw
you can jump if he doesn't with a
cousin-in-law if he doesn't jump away.
[25] Dear Sarah.........................................James Syler
[26] The Gartan Mother's Lullaby*......Neil Ginsberg
[27] The Lovely Rose *.................Paul Ben-Haim
But my soul is full of gloom
The passion will kill me,
[28] Go Lovely Rose *....................David Dickau
[29] Amor de mi Alma *.......Z. Randall Stroope
I was born to love only you
My soul has formed you to its measure
I want you as a garment for my soul
Your very image is written on my soul;
Such indescribable intimacy
For you I was born, for you I live,
For you I must die, and for you
