NEW YEAR WISHES

May peace fill all the empty spaces around you
And in you, may contentment answer all your wishes.

May comfort be yours, warm and soft like a sigh.
And may the coming year
show you that every day is really a first day,

Let abundance be your constant companion,
so that you have much to share.

May mirth be near you always,
like a lamp shining brightly
on the many paths you travel.

Hi, Ms. B.

(((HUGS)))

One more classical journey tonight.

I heard about your situation. My cervical problem heated up, and I'm using some heavy stuff to calm it down. It's the first time in 6 years I've had a significant attack, so that's one piece of good news.

Posted on the wrong thread...so much for "multitasking"! :)

Dear Friends,

As we progress through the Yuletide season, I would like to share an experience with you all, about drinking and driving.

A couple of nights ago, I was out for a few drinks with some friends and had too many beers and sips of a rather nice bourbon. Knowing full well I may have been slightly over the limit, I did something I've never done before - I took a bus home.

I arrived at the house safely and without incident, which was a real surprise, as I have never driven a bus before and I am not sure where I got this one.

Happy New Year…be safe!

These three numbers are to be sung pretty much without pause. The atmosphere is Gregorian chant.

Primo Vere (In Springtime) (Latin)

Veris leta facies (The merry face of spring)
mundo propinatur, (turns to the world,)
hiemalis acies (sharp winter)
victa iam fugatur, (now flees vanquished,)
in vestitu vario (bedecked in various colors)
Flora principatur, (Flora reigns,)
nemorum dulcisono (the harmony of the woods)
que cantu celebratur. (praises her in song.)

Flore fusus gremio (Lying in Flora’s lap)
Phebus novo more (Phoebus once more)
risum dat, hac vario (smiles, now covered)
iam stipate flore. (in many-colored flowers.)
Zephyrus nectareo (Zephyr breathes nectar)
spirans in odore. (scented breezes.)
Certatim pro bravio (Let us rush to compete)
curramus in amore. (for love's prize.)

Cytharizat cantico (In harp-like tones sings)
dulcis Philomena, (the sweet nightingale,)
flore rident vario (with many flowers)
prata iam serena, (the joyous meadows are laughing,)
salit cetus avium (a flock of birds rises up)
silve per amena, (through the pleasant forests,)
chorus promit virginum (the chorus of maidens)
iam gaudia millena. (already promises a thousand joys.)

Following a fermata/attacca is a recitative for baritone.

Omnia sol temperat (The sun warms everything)
purus et subtilis, (pure and gentle,)
novo mundo reserat (once again it reveals to the world)
faciem Aprilis, (April's face,)
ad amorem properat (the soul of man)
animus herilis (is urged towards love)
et iocundis imperat (and joys are governed)
deus puerilis. (by the boy-god.)

Rerum tanta novitas (All this rebirth)
in solemni vere (in spring's festivity)
et veris auctoritasjubet nos gaudere; (bids us to rejoice;)
vias prebet solitas, (it shows us paths we know well,)
et in tuo vere (and in your springtime)
fides est et probitas (it is true and right)
tuum retinere. (to keep what is yours.)

Ama me fideliter, (Love me faithfully,)
fidem meam noto: (see how I am faithful:)
de corde totaliter (with all my heart)
et ex mente tota (and with all my soul)
sum presentialiter (I am with you)
absens in remota, (even when I am far away,)
quisquis amat taliter, (whosoever loves this much,)
volvitur in rota. (turns on the wheel.)

With only a quarter-rest, this leads into a chorus:

Ecce gratum (Behold the pleasant)
et optatum (and longed for)
ver reducit gaudia, (spring brings back joyfulness,)
purpuratum, (violet flowers,)
floret pratum, (fill the meadows,)
sol serenat omnia. (the sun brightens everything.)
Iamiam cedant tristia! (Sadness is now at an end!)
Estas redit, (Summer returns,)
nunc recedit (now withdraw)
hyemis sevitia. (the rigors of winter.)

Iam liquescit (Now melts)
et decrescit (and disappears)
grando, nix et cetera; (ice, snow and the rest;)
bruma fugit (winter flees)
et iam sugit, (and now spring sucks,)
ver estatis ubera; (at summer’s breast;)
illi mens est misera, (a wretched soul is he,)
qui nec vivit, (who does not live,)
nec lascivit (or lust) sub estatis dextera. (under summer’s rule.)

Gloriantur (They glory)
et letantur (and rejoice)
in melle dulcedinis, (in honeyed sweetness,)
qui conantur, (who strive),
ut utantur (to make use of)
premio Cupidinis; (Cupid’s prize;)
simus jussu Cypridis (at Venus’ command)
gloriantes (let us glory)
et letantes (and rejoice)
pares esse Paridis. (in being Paris’ equals.)

Here the music stops.

This production looks a lot like the one I saw nearly 40 years ago. The connections are observed, and it’s a lively performance.

In Springtime
