Morten Lauridsen

Cuatro Canciones sobre poesias de Federico Garcia Lorca

for High Voice and Piano

Commissioned by the Yoav Chamber Ensemble

1. Claro del Reloj (Pause of the Clock)

3. La Luna Asoma (The Moon Rising)

I sat down in a space of time. It was a backwater of silence, a white silence, a formidable ring wherein the stars collided with the twelve floating black numerals.

When the moon rises, the bells hang silent, and impenetrable footpaths appear.

translated by Stanley Read

When the moon rises, the sea covers the land, and the heart feels like an island in infinity. Nobody eats oranges under the full moon. One must eat fruit that is green and cold. When the moon rises, moon of a hundred equal faces, the silver coinage sobs in the pocket.

translated by Lysander Kemp 2. Noche (Night) Candle, lamp, lantern and firefly. The constellation of the dart. Little windows of gold trembling, and cross upon cross rocking in the dawn. Candle, lamp, lantern and firefly.

translated by Jaime De Angulo

4. Despedida (Farewell)

If I die, leave the balcony open. The little boy is eating oranges. (From my balcony I can see him.) The reaper is harvesting the wheat. (From my balcony I can hear him.) If I die, leave the balcony open.

translated by W.S. Merwin
