Scarlatti - Sonata C Minor

Schubert's immortal "Serenade" was written in 1826. it is so familiar that it needs no analysis, nor is one necessary from any point of view. It is simply a lovely melody from first note to last, written upon the inspiration of the moment, and yet characterized by absolute perfection of finish and a grace and beauty of which one never tires. It was originally composed as an alto solo and male chorus and was subsequently rearranged for female voices only. The circumstances of its composition as told by Schubert's biographer, Von Hellborn, are of more than ordinary interest. Von Hellborn says:

"One Sunday, during the summer of 1826, Schubert with several friends was returning from Potzleinsdorf to the city, and on strolling along through Wahring, he saw his friend Tieze sitting at a table in the garden of the 'Zum Biersack.' The whole party determined on a halt in their journey. Tieze had a book lying open before him, and Schubert soon began to turn over the leaves. Suddenly he stopped, and pointing to a poem, exclaimed, 'such a delicious melody has just come into my head, if I but had a sheet of music paper with me.' Herr Doppler drew a few music lines on the back of a bill of fare, and in the midst of a genuine Sunday hubbub, with fiddlers, skittle players, and waiters running about in different directions with orders, Schubert wrote that lovely song."

"Rain of Tears" - Sento in seno ch'in pioggia di lagrime (I feel within a rain of tears)
from: Tieteberga and Il Giustino
by Antonio Vivaldi
Rearr. by Jelia Megawati Heru & Michael Gunadi Widjaja


Standing in the rain,
standing all afraid,
who knows how to cure all my pain?

I drop these tears because I fear,
even though this rain is trying to make me clear,
for this moment is silent and now I hear,
the pain that managed to last all this year.

You were not there to see my pain.
I will never see love quite the same.
The rain drops to the ground,
like tears from my heart falling without a sound.

My eyes still shine bright,
but I still have this will to fight,
even to this great height.

My Love...
If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again
