Blossom Dearie - In Your Eyes

I learned it from the only rendition I own.  It's possible i missed some details.
My try on Gnossienne 3 http://snd.sc/11VAyvl
I'm really sorry for the bad audio quality. I didn't have a proper recording process back then. So I probably re-record this at some point.

Niklas Paschburg - Dawn

Kurt Rosenwinkel Quartet gig from many moons ago - 1995 in Portland, Maine.

Kurt Rosenwinkel (guit/comp), Mark Turner (sax), Ben Street (bass), Falk Willis (dr)

This was a live concert recorded with one microphone, so the recording quality is modest.

Still, Kurt, Mark & Ben were already killing it back in the day. ;)

Enjoy!

Song Of The Caged Bird

Der Erlkönig, a poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, was originally written as part of his 1782 Singspiel 'Die Fischerin'. Misinterpreting the poem, and therefore failing my German oral exam in my final year of school, resulted in an impressive hatred of the work, but coming across it again last summer led me to re-assess my earlier, damning verdict of the poem. The poem describes the journey of a father and son on horseback, and the impending death of the young boy in his father's arms. 

This 9-minute electroacoustic piece is part of my extended studio project at Bristol, and the poem is to be read whilst listening to the piece. Below is a translation of the poem and underneath that is Goethe's original.

The piece will be 'performed' in the CMV evening concert on the 6th of June in the Victoria Rooms in Bristol, with me reading out the poem live.



The Erlking, translated by Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832)

O who rides by night thro' the woodland so wild?
It is the fond father embracing his child;
And close the boy nestles within his loved arm,
To hold himself fast, and to keep himself warm.

"O father, see yonder! see yonder!" he says;
"My boy, upon what dost thou fearfully gaze?"
"O, 'tis the Erl-King with his crown and his shroud."
"No, my son, it is but a dark wreath of the cloud."

"O come and go with me, thou loveliest child;
By many a gay sport shall thy time be beguiled;
My mother keeps for thee many a fair toy,
And many a fine flower shall she pluck for my boy."

"O father, my father, and did you not hear
The Erl-King whisper so low in my ear?"
"Be still, my heart's darling—my child, be at ease;
It was but the wild blast as it sung thro' the trees."

"O wilt thou go with me, thou loveliest boy?
My daughter shall tend thee with care and with joy;
She shall bear three so lightly thro' wet and thro' wild,
And press thee, and kiss thee, and sing to my child."

"O father, my father, and saw you not plain
The Erl-King's pale daughter glide past thro' the rain?"
"Oh, yes, my loved treasure, I knew it full soon;
It was the grey willow that danced to the moon."

"O come and go with me, no longer delay,
Or else, silly child, I will drag thee away."
"O father! O father! now, now, keep your hold,
The Erl-King has seized me—his grasp is so cold!"

Sore trembled the father; he spurr'd thro' the wild,
Clasping close to his bosom his shuddering child;
He reaches his dwelling in doubt and in dread,
But, clasp'd to his bosom, the infant was dead.



Der Erlkoenig, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's original 1782 version

Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind?
Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind;
Er hat den Knaben wohl in dem Arm,
Er faßt ihn sicher, er hält ihn warm.

"Mein Sohn, was birgst du so bang dein Gesicht?" –
"Siehst, Vater, du den Erlkönig nicht?
Den Erlenkönig mit Kron und Schweif?" –
"Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif."

"Du liebes Kind, komm, geh mit mir!
Gar schöne Spiele spiel' ich mit dir;
Manch' bunte Blumen sind an dem Strand,
Meine Mutter hat manch gülden Gewand." –

"Mein Vater, mein Vater, und hörest du nicht,
Was Erlenkönig mir leise verspricht?" –
"Sei ruhig, bleibe ruhig, mein Kind;
In dürren Blättern säuselt der Wind." –

"Willst, feiner Knabe, du mit mir gehen?
Meine Töchter sollen dich warten schön;
Meine Töchter führen den nächtlichen Reihn,
Und wiegen und tanzen und singen dich ein." –

"Mein Vater, mein Vater, und siehst du nicht dort
Erlkönigs Töchter am düstern Ort?" –
"Mein Sohn, mein Sohn, ich seh es genau:
Es scheinen die alten Weiden so grau. –"

"Ich liebe dich, mich reizt deine schöne Gestalt;
Und bist du nicht willig, so brauch ich Gewalt." –
"Mein Vater, mein Vater, jetzt faßt er mich an!
Erlkönig hat mir ein Leids getan!" –

Dem Vater grauset's, er reitet geschwind,
Er hält in Armen das ächzende Kind,
Erreicht den Hof mit Müh' und Not;
In seinen Armen das Kind war tot.
