Songs of Ophelia

Songs of Ophelia for Treble Chorus (SSA), guitar, piano (opt.)

Jonathan Posthuma, 2012

How should I your true love know From another one?

By his cockle hat and staff, And his sandal shoon.

They bore him barefaced on the bier; Hey non, nonny, nonny, hey nonny.

And his grave rained many a tear: Fare you well, my dove!

He is dead and gone, lady He is dead and gone, At his head a grass-green turf, At his heels a stone.

You must sing a-down a-down, --And you, Call him a-down-a--

White his shroud as the mountain snow--

O, how the wheel becomes it!

It is the false Steward, that stole his master's daughter.

Larded with sweet flowers Which bewept to the grave did go With true-love showers.

Tomorrow is Saint Valentine's day, All in the morning betime, And I a maid at your window To be your Valentine.

Then up he rose, and donn'd his clothes, And duppedthe chamber door; Let in the maid, that out a maid Never departed more.

By Gis and by Saint Charity Alack, and fie for shame!

Young men will do't, if they come to't;

By Cock, they are to blame.

Quoth she, "Before you tumbled me, You promised me to wed."

He answers, "So would I ha' done, by yonder sun, An thou hadst not come to my bed."

Spoken: There's rosemary, that's for rembrance.

Pray you, love, remember.

And there is pansies, that's for thoughts.

There's fennel for you, a columbines.

--There's rue for you, and here's some for me.

We may call it "herb of grace" o' Sundays.

--Oh, you must wear your rue with a difference.

--There's a daisy. I would give you some violets, but they withered all when my father died.

They say he made a good end.

For bonny sweet Robin is all my joy-And will he not come again?

And will he not come again?

No, he is dead: Go to thy deathbed.

He never will come again.

His beard was as white as snow, All flaxen was his poll: He is gone, he is gone, And we cast away moan: God ha' mercy on his soul.-And on all Christian souls, I pray God, God be wiye.

-- William Shakespeare, excerpts from Hamlet Act IV, Scene 5

* The guitar part is an approximation of chords, melodic and accompaniment figures and may be adapted or improvised in fitting with a Renaissance style, or transcribed for lute or mandolin. The piano part provides a reduction of the vocal lines for rehearsal purposes, but may also be used as the basis for a suitable piano accompanient, which may be improvised from the guitar part and the provided chord changes.
