Durch dein Gefängnis, Gottes Sohn Evangelist: Katrina Seabright and Bennett Shebesta Pilate: Elise Brevik and Brian Dean Jesus: Gregory Berg From The Settling Years: A Hoopla From Psalm 42, op. 42 7.

texts and translations Hildegard Patriarche et Prophete: Qui sunt hi, qui ut nubes?

Patriarchs and Prophets: Who are these, who seem like clouds?

Virtutes O antiqui sancti, quid admiramini in nobis?

Verbum del clarescit in forma hominis, et ideo fulgemus cum illo, edificantes membra sui pulchri corporis.

Virtues: O ancient holy ones, why do you marvel at us?

The Word of God grows bright in the form of a man, and thus we shine with him, building the limbs of his beautiful body.

Patriarche et prophete: Nos sumus radices et vos rami, fructus viventis oculi, et nos umbra in illo fuimus.

Patriarchs and prophets: We are roots, and you are branches, the fruit of the living eye, of which we were the shadow.

Bach 35.

Evangelist: And they gave him blows with their hands.

Then Pilate came out again and said to them : Pilate: Look, I bring him out to you so that you can know that I find no fault in him Evangelist: And so Jesus came out and wore a crown of thorns and a purple robe.

And he said to them: Pilate: Look, this is the man!

Evangelist: When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out and said:

35.

Evangelist: Und gaben ihm Backenstreiche.

Da ging Pilatus wieder heraus und sprach zu ihnen: Pilatus: Sehet, ich führe ihn heraus zu euch, dass ihr erkennet, dass ich keine Schuld an ihm finde.

36.

Crucify him, crucify him!

36.

Kreuzige, kreuzige!

37.

Evangelist: Pilate said to them: Pilate: Take him and crucify him; for I find no fault in him Evangelist: The Jews answered him:

37.

Evangelist: Pilatus sprach zu ihnen: Pilatus: Nehmet ihr ihn hin und kreuziget ihn; denn ich finde keine Schuld an ihm!

Evangelist: Die Jüden antworteten ihm:

38.

We have a law and according to the law

38.

Wir haben ein Gesetz, und nach dem Gesetz

Evangelist: Also ging Jesus heraus und trug eine Dornenkrone und Purpurkleid.

Und er sprach zu ihnen: Pilatus: Sehet, welch ein Mensch!

Evangelist: Da ihn die Hohenpriester und die Diener sahen, schrieen sie und sprachen:

texts and translations he should die because he made himself the son of God.

soll er sterben; denn er hat sich selbst zu Gottes Sohn gemacht.

39.

Evangelist: When Pilate heard what they said, he was even more afraid and went back to the hall of judgment and said to Jesus: Pilate: Where do you come from?

Evangelist: But Jesus gave him no answer. Then Pilate said to him: Pilate: You won’t speak to me?

Do you not know that I have the power to crucify you, and I have the power to set you free?

Evangelist: Jesus replied: Jesus: You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above: therefore the one who handed me over to you has the greater guilt Evangelist: And from then on Pilate endeavoured to set him free.

39.

Evangelist: Da Pilatus das Wort hörete, fürchtet’ er sich noch mehr und ging wieder hinein in das Richthaus und spricht zu Jesu: Pilatus: Von wannen bist du?

Evangelist: Aber Jesus gab ihm keine Antwort. Da sprach Pilatus zu ihm: Pilatus: Redest du nicht mit mir ?

Weißest du nicht, dass ich Macht habe, dich zu kreuzigen, und Macht habe, dich loszugehen ?

Evangelist: Jesus antwortete: Jesus: Du hättest keine Macht über mich, wenn sie dir nicht wäre von oben herab gegeben; darum, der mich dir überantwortet hat, der hat’s größ’re Sünde.

Evangelist: Von dem an trachtete Pilatus, wie er ihn losließe.

40.

Through your imprisonment, Son of God, must our freedom come.

Your prison is the throne of grace, the refuge of all believers.

If you had not accepted slavery, our slavery would have been eternal.

40.

Durch dein Gefängnis, Gottes Sohn, Muß uns die Freiheit kommen; Dein Kerker ist der Gnadenthron, Die Freistatt aller Frommen; Denn gingst du nicht die Knechtschaft ein, Müßt unsre Knechtschaft ewig sein.

texts and translations Verdi [scene: a group of witches gather as Macbeth arrives] Che faceste? dite su?

Ho sgozzato un verro. E tu?

M’e frullata nel pensier La mogliera di un nocchier: Al dimon la mi cacciô.

Ma lo sposo che salpô; Col suo legno affogherô.

Un ravaio ti darô, I marosi leverô, Per le secche lo trarrô.

What have been doing? Tell us!

I have slit a boar’s throat. What have you done?

I’m thinking of a steermsan’s wife who chased me to the devil, but her husband has set sail and I’ll drown him with his ship.

I shal give you the north wind.

I shall raise the waves.

I shall drag it across the shallows.

Un tamburo! Che sarà?

Vien Macbetto. Eccolo qua?

A drum! What can it be?

Macbeth is coming. He is here.

Le Sorelle vagabonde Van perl’aria, van sull’onde, Sanno un circolo intrecciar Che comprende e terra e mar.

The wandering sisters fly through the air, sail over the waves, They bind a circle through the sea.

Viardot [symopsis: A chamber opera in two acts, Le dernier sorcier revolves around Krakamiche, a once-powerful sorcerer whose presence in the great woods has upset the fairies, the forest’s rightful inhabitants, and disturbed the harmony of the land. Through the combined efforts of the fairy folk and their queen, the sorcerer’s daughter and her prince, and a hapless valet, Krakamiche ultimately learns key truths about humility, love, and living in harmony with the natural world.

Act 1 No. 1 (Par ici) [scene: The scene takes place in a forest, the ruins of Krakamiche’s castle center stage.

There is a door in the front of the castle and another door on the side, leading from the first door. The bottom window is dimly lit. There are large trees, one with a hole, at the bottom of a spring coming out of a rock. The scene is empty when the curtain rises. The elves enter, one by one, from both sides of the stage.]

The fire is out! Well Done!

Krakamiche: To hell with the damn elves!

I hear you, little rascals, damn elves!

Elves: Ha, ha . . . Hee, hee, . . .

Verbena: It’s good!

Elves: But you cannot do anything more!

He is enraged in his hidden place, Waving his wand to make a little fire!

We made a place, for papa Krakamiche!

Verbena: But already in the woods the warbler is awake, the light morning wind chases away the little elves with the morning dew.

Elves: Hee, hee, hee! Ha, ha, ha!

See you soon, old papa!

Let’s all go, let’s hide.

Let everyone from the chalice of a flower quickly sip!
