performed April 23, 2008, Hart Recital Hall
Stella Dayrit Roden, Soprano and Amanda Arrington, Piano

Was Du mir bist?/ What are you to me?
Der Ausblick in eines schönes Land, /The sight of a beautiful country
wo fruchtbelad’ne Bäume ragen, /where fruit-laden trees soar upwards
Blumen blüh’n am Quellenrand. /and flowers bloom at the water’s edge.
Was Du mir bist? /What you are to me?
Der Stern’ Funkeln, das Gewölk durchbricht, /The twinkling star breaking through the cloud,
der ferne Lichtstrahl, /the distant ray of light
der im Dunkeln spricht: /which speaks in the darkness:
O Wand’rer, verzage nicht! /Traveller, don’t give up hope!
Und war mein Leben auch Entsagen, /And even if my life were one of renunciation,
glänzte mir kein froh Geschick /where no good luck came my way,
was Du mir bist? /what you are to me?
Kannst Du noch fragen?/ Do you need to ask?
Was Du mir bist: /What are you to me
mein Glaube an das Glück. / My belief in happiness.

Was du mir bist?

Selige Nacht by Joseph Marx

Chanson Triste
Joseph Rochaïd
​
Dans les profondes mers 
naquit la perle ambrée,
Au pied des sapins verts, 
la violette en fleur,
Dans l'air bleu du matin, 
la goutte de rosée,
Moi, dans ton cœur !
 
En un royal collier 
la perle ronde est morte,
En un vase élégant, 
la violette en fleur,
Au baiser du soleil 
la goutelette est morte,
Moi, dans ton cœur !
 
Ici-bas les choses exquises,
Et qui souvent ne parlent pas,
Sont bien mortes quand on les brise ;
Par pitié, ne les brise pas !
 
Car ces frêles et tendres choses,
Ailes fines de papillons,
Plumes d'oiseau, branches de roses,
Disparaissent dans le sillon.
 
Mon pauvre rêve de bonheur
Est bien mort, ainsi que la rose,
Le jour sombre où j'ai, dans mon cœur,
Senti qu'on brisait quelque chose!

Sad song
Thomas Whitman
​
In the deep seas
The amber pearl was born,
At the foot of the green firs,
The violet in bloom,
In the blue morning air,
The drop of dew,
Me, in your heart!
 
In a royal necklace
The round pearl dies,
In an elegant vase,
The violet in bloom,
In the kiss of the sun
The small dewdrop dies,
Me, in your heart!
 
These are exquisite things
That often do not speak,
They are dead when one breaks them;
For pity, do not break them!
 
Because these frail and tender things,
Fine wings of butterflies,
Bird feathers, rose branches
Disappear in the furrow.
 
My poor dream of happiness
Is dead, like the rose,
The somber day when I, in my heart,
felt something broken!

Chanson triste by Cécile Chaminade

Mignonne
Pierre de Ronsard
 
  Mignonn', allon voir si la rose
Qui ce matin avoit declose
Sa robe de pourpr' au soleil,
A point perdu, cette vesprée,
Le plis de sa robe pourprée,
Et son teint au vostre pareil.
 
  Las, voyés comm' en peu d'espace,
Mignonn', ell' a dessus la place,
Las, las, ses beautés laissé cheoir!
Ô vrayement maratre nature,
Puis qu'une telle fleur ne dure,
Que du matin jusques au soir!
 
  Donc, si vous me croiés, mignonne:
Tandis que vostr' age fleuronne
En sa plus verte nouveauté,
Cueillés, cueillés vostre jeunesse,
Comm' à cette fleur, la viellesse
Fera ternir vostre beauté.

Mignonne
Faith J. Cormier
 
 Sweetheart, let us see if the rose
 that only this morning unfolded
 its scarlet dress in the sun
 has lost, at vesper-time,
 the folds of its scarlet dress
 and its colour, so like yours.
 
 Alas! See how rapidly,
 Sweetheart, she has let 
 her beauty fall all over the place!
 Nature is truly a cruel stepmother
 when such a flower only lasts
 from dawn to dusk!
 
 So if you hear me, Sweetheart,
 while your age flowers 
 in its greenest newness,
 gather, gather your youth.
 Age will tarnish your beauty
 as it has faded this flower.

Mignonne by Cécile Chaminade

Schwanenlied, Op. 1 no. 1          
Heinrich Heine

Es fällt ein Stern herunter
Aus seiner funkelnden Höh;
Das ist der Stern der Liebe,
Den ich dort fallen seh.

Es fallen vom Apfelbaume,
Der weißen Blätter so viel,
Es kommen die neckenden Lüfte,
Und treiben damit ihr Spiel.

Es singt der Schwan im Weiher,
Und rudert auf und ab,
Und immer leiser singend,
Taucht er ins Flutengrab.

Es ist so still und dunkel!
Verweht ist Blatt und Blüt',
Der Stern ist knisternd zerstoben,
Verklungen das Schwanenlied.

A star is tumbling downward
Bard Suverkrop

A star falls down
from from its shimmering heights,
it is the star of love,
that I see falling there.

From the apple trees fall
so many white petals, 
the teasing breezes come
and plays with them their game.

The swan is singing in the pond,
and paddles up and down,
and the singing ever softer, 
it dives into the watery depths.

It is so still and dark,
leaf and flower have been blown away,
the star has been sputtered and scattered,
faded away the song of the swan.

Schwanenlied by Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel
