The first song from 'Vier gebede by jaargetye in die Boland' [Four seasonal prayers] on poems by NP Van Wyk Louw
I. Vroegherfs	[Early autumn]
Die jaar word ryp in goue akkerblare, 	
[The year matures in golden oak-leaves,] 
in wingerd wat verbruin, en witter lug 	
[in vineyards turning russet, and paler air]
wat daglank van die nuwe wind en klare 	
[that all day long is washed by the new wind]
son deurspoel word; elke blom word vrug, 	
[and pellucid sun; every flower turns to fruit,]
tot selfs die traagstes; en die eerste blare val 	
[even the tardiest; and the first leaves fall]
so stilweg in die rookvaal bos en laan, 			
[so quietly in the smoke-blue wood and lane,]
dat die takke van die lang populiere al 			
[that the branches of the slender poplars]
met elke ligte môre witter staan. 	
[show paler with every luminous morning]
O Heer, laat hierdie dae heilig word: 	
[ Lord, may these day be sacred:]
laat alles val wat pronk en sieraad was 	
[let fall all that was vanity and display]
of enkel jeug, en vér was van die pyn; 			
[or merely youth, and far removed from pain;]
laat ryp word, Heer, laat U wind waai, laat stort  	
[bring ripeness, Lord, let Your wind blow, topple]
my waan, tot al die hoogheid eindelik vas 	
[my pride, ‘till all that is highest at last emerges]
en nakend uit my teerder jeug verskyn. 	
[firm and unadorned from the tenderness of youth.]

Vier gebede by jaargetye in die Boland 1. Vroegherfs - Andre Howard, Hendrik Hofmeyr

During the 2011 City of London Festival, Tenebrae joined a chamber ensemble from the LSO at St Paul’s Cathedral for a performance of Fauré’s Requiem. The Requiem was preceded by a selection of Bach’s Chorales interspersed with his Partitia in D minor, performed by Gordan Nikolitch, leader of the London Symphony Orchestra.

Fauré’s Requiem favours serenity, joy and liberation over the dread and terror employed by most composers in settings of the Mass of the Dead. By adopting a more comforting approach, he crafted music of astonishing beauty, in particular the Pie Jesu. Bach’s Partita for Violin No 2, with chorales interspersed, culminates in a reconstruction of the Ciaconna, highlighting the hidden chorale themes within this fascinating work.
