Emily Phelan ’08 “In the Midst of the Ball” “Sred’Shumnovo Bala” by Tchaikovsky Russian song In the midst of dancing, quite vaguely, surrounded by clamoring swains, The first time I saw you, a riddle, that suddenly held me entranced. Your features were hidden, secret, your voice was so mournfully sweet, A flute in the distance, so gentle, Like rippling of waves in the sea. Your figure so youthful and lovely, Your eyes so mysterious and sad, your laughter so clear and yet somber Forever now dwell in my heart. In darkness and solitude, lonely, I lay me down tired to sleep And see your sad eyes again, near me, And hear the gay sound of your voice. O’er come by unhappiness in my slumber Tormented by visions and dreams I wish I knew whether I love you! It seems to me: I do love you!

Thomas Kelleher ’06 “Sebben Crudele” by Antonio Caldera Italian song Born at Venice in 1670 (?) Antonio Caldara received his earliest musical training as a chorister of the Cappella Ducale at St Mark's and, probably, as a pupil of Giovanni Legrenzi. By 1689 he was known as a cellist and his growing number of compositions included operas, sonatas da chiesa and da camera, and solo cantatas. Performances of his operas had been given at Venice and Rome by the early 1690s and a personal visit made to Rome about this time implies an acquaintance with and perhaps instruction from Corelli, Aless, Scarlatti and Pasquini.

Janelle Garipoli ’08, William Porter ’08 “Time to Say Good-bye” by Sarah Brightman Italian Song Sarah: When I'm alone I dream of the horizon and words fail; yes, I know there is no light in a room where the sun is absent, if you are not here with me. At the windows show everyone my heart which you set alight; enclose within me the light you encountered on the street. Time to say goodbye. -- I'll go with you to countries I never saw and shared with you, now, yes, I shall experience them. I'll go with you on ships across seas which, I know, no, no, exist no longer; it's time to say goodbye. -- with you I shall experience them. Andrea: When you are far away I dream of the horizon and words fail, and, yes, I know that you are with me; you, my moon, are here with me, my sun, you are here with me with me, with me, with me. Time to say goodbye. -- I'll go with you to countries I never saw and shared with you, now, yes, I shall experience them. I'll go with you on ships across seas which, I know, no, no, exist no longer, Both with you I shall experience them again. I'll go with you on ships across seas which, I know, no, no, exist no longer, with you I shall experience them again. I'll go with you. You and me.

Olga Skoropad ‘09 “Spring Thunderstorm” by Feydor Tutchev Russian poem Федор Тытчев Весенняя Гроза Любы грозу в начале мая, Когда весенний, первый гром, Кок бы резвяся и играя, Грохочит в небе голубом. Гремят раскаты молодые, Вот дождик брызнет, пыль летит, Повислы перлы дождевые, И солнце нити золотит. С горы бежит поток проворный, В лесу не молкнет птичий гам, И гам лесной и шум нагорный – Все вторит весело громам. Ты скажешь: ветреная Геба, Кормя зевесова орла, Громокипящий кубок с неба, Смеясь, на землю пролила.

Credilo pur: e se timor t'assale, Dubitar non ti vale. Aprimi il petto e vedrai scritto in core: Amarilli, Amarilli, Amarailli è il mio amore. Amaryllis, my lovely one, do you not believe, o my heart's sweet desire, That you are my love? Believe it thus: and if fear assails you, Doubt not its truth. Open my breast and see written on my heart: Amaryllis, Amaryllis, Amaryllis, Is my beloved.

Alexander Lortorto ‘09 “African-Latin Rhythms: Cuba and Clave” Clave is a rhythmic pattern or timeline which has its roots in West African music and was developed in Cuba. The clave serves as a tool for temporal organization, and essentially all Afro-Cuban music of Yoruban descent (including Cuban popular music such as salsa) is based around the clave rhythm. The word “clave” is Spanish for “key”, in the sense of an answer key or a musical key signature. This is in contrast to the Spanish word “llave”, which means key in the sense of the key to a door. This name helps to emphasize the functional importance of the clave as a structural element in Cuban music.
