Fotina Naumenko with support from Shenandoah University and Hermine Drezner
ABOUT BESPOKE SONGS BESPOKE SONGS is a cycle of love songs for soprano and chamber group setting twelve poems in six languages (English, French, Hebrew, Korean, Swedish, and Russian). Six texts written by women poets spanning two millennia are framed and interpolated by six new texts written speci ically for the piece by contemporary poet Kristina Faust. The result is a poetic narrative of a Love Anticipated, Found, Lived, Lost, and Remembered. The "BESPOKE SONGS Project" was a true collaboration between myself, soprano Fotina Naumenko, and my spouse, conductor Nadège Foofat.

Texts and Translations
Here is a poem— Take it from my lips and let it nest in your ribs. Say it back to me as we swim through streetlight. You already know the words.
2. The Admonition from The Admonition by the Author to all Young Gentlewomen: And to all other Maids being in Love —Isabella Whitney (1567) Ye Virgins, ye from Cupid's tents do bear away the foil, Whose hearts as yet with raging love most painfully do boil.
Some use the tears of crocodiles, contrary to their heart: And if they cannot always weep, they wet their cheeks by art.
Trust not a man at the irst sight but try him well before: I wish all maids within their breasts to keep this thing in store.
To you I speak: for you be they that good advice do lack: Oh, if I could good counsell get, my tongue should not be slack.
Ovid, within his Art of Love, doth teach them this same knack To wet their hand and touch their eyes, so oft as tears they lack.
For trial shall declare his truth and show what he doth think, Whether he be a lover true, or do intend to shrink.
But such as I can give, I will here in few words express, Which, if you do observe, it will some of your care redress. Beware of fair and painted talk, beware of lattering tongues: The Mermaids do pretend no good for all their pleasant songs.
Why have ye such deceit in store? have you such crafty wile? Less craft than this, God knows, would soon us simple souls beguile.
And I who was deceived late by one's unfaithful tears Trust now for to beware, if that I live this hundreth years.
3. New lovers —Kristina Faust (2021) New lovers step through automatic doors like celebrities. Pigeons announce them with bespoke songs. The downstairs neighbor smiles at their victory: They’re the irst to win the game of love.
4. Elegie from Elegie #2 — Louise Labé (1545)

Par toy, ami, tant vesqui en lammee, Qu’en languissant par feu suis consumee, Qui couve encor sous ma cendre embrazee Si ne le rens de tes pleurs apaizee.
My love, I burned for you until desire consumed my body. Then the lames grew higher. I’m still burning under the ashes of this pyre. Only your tears can ever quench the ire.
5. If a lover brings an orange —Kristina Faust (2021) If a lover brings an orange and peels it carefully— If, with a knife he scores the skin north to south and opens it like a lower to offer you, do not forget.
6. Song of Songs —anon (ca. 300 BCE) Song of Songs Chapter 2, Verses 3-7 שׁבְתִּ י וּפ ְִרי֖ וֹ ַ ֔ ָ דּוֹדי ֵ ֣בּין ַה ָבּ ִנ֑ים ְבּצִלּ ֙וֹ ח ַ ִ֣מּדְ תִּ י ְוי ֖ ִ כְּתַ פּ֙וּ ֙ ַח ַבּע ֲֵצ֣י ַה ַ֔יּעַר כֵּ ֥ן מ ָ֥תוֹק ְלח ִַע֥ד שֶׁתֶּ חְפָּ ֽץ׃ כִּ ֽי׃ ֱהבִי ַ֙אנִ ֙י אֶל־ ֵ ֣בּית ַה ָ֔יּי ִן וְדִ גְל֥ וֹ ע ַָל֖י אַהֲבָ ֽה׃ פּוּחים כִּי־ חוֹלַ ֥ת אַה ָ ֲ֖בה אָ ֽנִי׃ ֔ ַס ְמּכ֙וּנִ ֙י בָּ ֽ ֲאשׁ ֑ ִ ִַישׁוֹת ַרפּ ְ֖דוּנִי בַּתּ שׁי וִימִינ֖ וֹ תְּ ַחבּ ֵ ְֽקנִי׃ ִ ֔ שְׂמ ֹאל ֙וֹ ַ ֣תּחַת לְר ֹא שׁ ַ֨בּעְתִּ י אֶתְ ֶ֜כם בְּנ֤ וֹת י ְרוּשָׁלַ ִ֙ם֙ ִבּ ְצב ָ֔אוֹת ֖אוֹ בְּאַי ְל֣ וֹת ַהשּׂ ֶ ָ֑דה אִם־ תָּ ִ ֧עירוּ ׀ ְ ִה ֽוֹר ֛רוּ אֶת־ הָאַה ָ ֲ֖בה ְ וְ ֽאִם־ תְּ ע
As an apple-tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. Under its shadow I delighted to sit, and its fruit was sweet to my taste. He hath brought me to the banqueting-house, and his banner over me is love. Stay ye me with dainties, refresh me with apples; for I am love-sick. Let his left hand be under my head, and his right hand embrace me. I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles, and by the hinds of the ield, that ye awaken not, nor stir up love, until it please.
7. At Winter Solstice —Hwang Jin Yi (ca. 1530) 동지돌 기나긴 밤을 한 허리를 버혀내어 춘풍 니불 아래 서리서리 너헛다가 어론님 오신 날 밤이여든 구뷔구뷔 펴리라.
8. Is there ecstasy —Kristina Faust (2021)
f
f
Is there ecstasy in the slow laceration in the titrated poison in the clanging cymbal? of love?
I cut in two A long November night, and Place half under the coverlet, Sweet-scented as a spring breeze. And when he comes, I shall take it out, Unroll it inch by inch, to stretch the night. — Peter H. Lee, transl.
9. Kärlek [Love] — Edith Södergran (1916) Min själ var en ljusblå dräkt av himlens färg; jag lämnade den på en klippa vid havet och naken kom jag till dig och liknade en kvinna. Och som en kvinna satt jag vid ditt bord och drack en skål med vin och andades in doften av Du fann att jag var vacker och liknade något du sett jag glömde allt, jag glömde min barndom och mitt
några rosor. i drömmen, hemland,
jag visste endast att dina smekningar höllo mig fången. Och du tog leende en spegel och bad mig se mig själv. Jag såg att mina skuldror voro gjorda av stoft och smulade sig sönder, jag såg att min skönhet var sjuk och hade ingen vilja än - försvinna. O, håll mig sluten i dina armar så fast att jag ingenting behöver.
My soul was a light blue dress the color of the sky; I left it on a rock by the sea and naked I came to you, looking like a woman, And like a woman I sat at your table and drank a toast in wine, inhaling the scent of some roses. You found me beautiful, like something you saw in a dream. I forgot everything. I forgot my childhood and my homeland. I only knew that your caresses held me captive. And smiling you held up a mirror and asked me to look. I saw that my shoulders were made of dust and crumbled away. I saw that my beauty was sick and wished only to— disappear. Oh, hold me tight in your arms so close that I need nothing. —Stina Katchadourian (trans.)
10. One morning —Kristina Faust (2021) One morning the long-held chord dissipates, and I rise with the familiar quiet and go.
11. Любовь (Lyubov) [Love] —Vera Inber (1918) Забыла всё: глаза, походку, голос, Улыбку перед сном; Но всё ещё полна любовью точно колос Зерном. Но всё ещё клонюсь. Идущий мимо, Пройди, уйди, не возвращайся вновь: Ещё сильна во мне, ещё неодолима Любовь.
12. This is my poem —Kristina Faust (2021) This is my poem— Take it with you nesting in your ribs like a carved stone.
f
Try to recite it under a con ident moon.
I've forgotten everything: your eyes, gait, voice, smile before sleep; But I am still full of love, like an ear of wheat is full of grain. But I am still leaning. If you happen to be near pass through, go away, don’t come back. Still strong in me, still irresistible is Love.

PERFORMANCE NOTES • A 5-octave marimba is preferred. But a 4.3 instrument could be used with octave displacements if necessary. • The harmonium should be inside the percussion setup; the pianist moves to a station in the perc. setup to play the instrument. • The soprano and guitar are ampli ied. • If employed, a 2nd percussionist could also cover all harmonium parts.
