Prison work song, arr. Stacey Gibbs

Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (c.1525–1594)

By such a skilled hand you were made, Most graceful portrait, That I could not tell if you are alive Or if you sweetly deceive my eyes.

Why don’t you at least satisfy me with a look, If you breathe and feel?

But if art deceives me too industrious How does it happen that I am inflamed in every part?

Alas, honest loos, and [yet] silent, And by being silent undoes me, That from the cold snow of the beautiful face Arises the ardor that I have gathered in the middle of my chest.

Ah, grant me Love, if you can, As long as it remains between us, That this beautiful image may live, and speak; But let it not be cruel to me, nor ruthless to you.

The River (2021) Jayne Galloway, piano Brian Southwick, assistant conductor

Susan LaBarr (b. 1981)

Senior Spotlight Les oiseaux dans la charmille (from Les Contes d’Hoffmann, 1880 Bethany Rasmussen, soprano Jayne Galloway, piano The birds in the arbor, In the sky’s daytime star, Everything speaks to a young girl of love!

Ah! There is the kind song, The song of Olympia! Ah! Everything that sings and resonates And sighs, in turn, Moves his heart, which shudders of love Ah! There is the lovely song, The song of Olympia! Ah!

Jacques Offenbach (1819–1880)

Evocation (2024)

Hye-Young Cho (b.1969)

Unable to forget, you will miss them.

Let it be, that will be a life all its own, There will come a day when you forget.

Unable to forget, you will miss them.

So be it, just the years pass on by, You will one day forget some, it not all.

Yet, for all that, is it not also true.

With blood and bones yearning alike, how can the thought ever leave you.
