Notes on the Program
by Hilary Apfelstadt
Music in Celebration of International
Women’s Day
The compositions on this program honor
women in various ways. Guy Forbes’ Ave
Maria and Eleanor Daley’s I Sing of a Maiden
are lyrical settings of familiar texts acknowl-
edging the role of Mary as both the mother
of the Christ Child and also intercessor on
our behalf. Next, two lively South American
songs remind us of children’s play
(Travessura) and represent indigenous cele-
brations of a community in Ecuador (Cancion
de Los Tsáchilas). Both Joan Szymko and
Jocelyn Hagen have set reflective texts by
women writers that present inspiring female
perspectives about life. Always Coming
Home and In the Lavender Stillness of Dawn
both use strings in the accompaniment,
enhancing the expressive import of the
poetry. The next three pieces reflect con-
temporary settings of poetry by Barbara
Powis, Christina Rossetti, and Sara Teasdale,
women poets whose inspired writing pro-
vides unique viewpoints on the world. Nancy
Telfer (The Blue Eye of God) and Stephen
Chatman (The Half Moon) chose poetry
about nature, whereas Muehleisen’s compo-
sition (Joy) is based on two poems that
reflect the joy of human love. The program,
representing both North America and South
America, gives contemporary expression to
women’s perspectives, whether through the
poetry or the compositions themselves, and
is a fitting way to celebrate International
Women’s Day 2014.
Carmina Burana
CARL ORFF
Born July 10, 1895, in Munich
Died there March 29, 1982
Perhaps it is the physical exuberance and
freshness, coupled with a passionate and
sometimes racy text (a full translation in
programs and record liner notes used to be
expurgated) and an easily accessible musical
language that made Carmina Burana one of
the most popular twentieth-century stage
productions. Like Richard Strauss, Orff
aimed, in this and in his later stage works, at
a Gesamtkunstwerk—an artistic synthesis in
which text, music, scenery, and movement
are unified and completely coordinated.
Carmina Burana was the title given in 1847
to an edited collection of mostly secular
songs (“Carmina”) from an early thirteenth-
century manuscript discovered in 1803 in a
Benedictine abbey located in Benedikt-
beuern, Bavaria (hence the Latinized form
of the name, “burana”). The manuscript
contains approximately 250 medieval
poems and songs, including works in Latin,
Middle High German, and French, the bulk
of which do not appear in any other manu-
scripts. They were assigned to categories:
clerical poems, love songs, drinking and
gaming songs, and two religious dramas.
Since early medieval musical manuscripts
contain no specific instrumental accompani-
ment or harmony, Orff’s settings have little or
no harmonic development, and reply instead
on terse melodic motives and rhythms
derived from the meter of the poems them-
selves. All of the poetry is strophic, and Orff
creates stunning instrumental interludes and
accompaniments with variety and vivid tone
color that breaks the monotony of the simple
melodies. Orff employs a large orchestra to
give him a wide palette of timbre and tone
color, but only occasionally uses the entire
orchestra at one time for dramatic effect.
Carmina Burana opens and closes with the
choral ode “O, Fortuna,” a paean to
Fortune, Empress of the World, “change-
able as the moon.” Within this frame are
three large sections. Each part explores the
fundamental human needs—nature, wine,
and sex—which, with Fortune on their side,
men and women can enjoy to the fullest.

Ave Maria
Guy Forbes
Ave Maria, gratia plena:
Dominus tecum,
Benedicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus fructus ventris tui,
Jesu.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace:
The Lord is with you,
blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Pula daqui, cai acolá
Entra na roda e vem brincar
Pique bandeira, corrida ligeira
E pula daqui, cai acolá
Chega da escola, já vai jogar bola
Vento soprando, é pipa voando
Nunca deixe de sonhar (lindo sonho)
Tempo que logo vai passar
Criando memórias
Lembrando histórias
Feliz de quem aproveitar
(Vamos brincar de carrossel, pessoal!)
Jump over here, fall over there
Join the circle, come and play
Pique bandeira*, a fast run
And jump over here, fall over there
Back from school, on to play ball
Wind is blowing, the kite is flying
Never stop dreaming (a beautiful dream)
Time will soon pass by
Creating memories
Remembering stories
Happy is the one who enjoys it
(Let’s play the carousel, everybody!)
*Pique bandeira is a kind of child’s play, where teams run around and try to “ steal” the other team’s flag.

CARL ORFF
1. O Fortuna
O Fortuna velut luna statu variabilis,
semper crescis aut decrescis; vita detesta-
bilis nunc obdurat et tunc curat ludo
mentis aciem, egestatem, potestatem dis-
solvit ut glaciem.
Sors immanis et inanis, rota tu volubilis,
status malus, vana salus semper dissolu-
bilis, obumbrata et velata michi quoque
niteris; nunc per ludum dorsum nudum
fero tui sceleris.
Sors salutis et virtutis michi nunc con-
traria, est affectus et defectus semper in
angaria. Hac in hora sine mora corde
pulsum tangite; quod per sortem sternit
fortem, mecum omnes plangite!
2. Fortune plango vulnera
Fortune plango vulnera stillantibus ocellis
quod sua michi muner a subtrahit rebellis.
fronte capillata, sed plerumque sequitur
Occasio calvata.
FORTUNE, EMPRESS OF THE WORLD
1. O Fortune
O Fortune, like the moon you are change-
able, ever waxing and waning; hateful life
first oppresses and then soothes as fancy
takes it; poverty and power it melts them
like ice.
Fate—monstrous and empty, you whirling
wheel, you are malevolent, well-being is
vain and always fades to nothing, shad-
owed and veiled you plague me too; now
through the game I bring my bare back to
your villainy.
Fate is against me in health and virtue,
driven on and weighted down, always
enslaved. So at this hour without delay
pluck the vibrating strings; since Fate
strikes down the string man, everyone
weep with me!
2. I bemoan the wounds of Fortune
I bemoan the wounds of Fortune with
weeping eyes, for the gifts she made me
she perversely takes away. It is written in
truth, that she has a fine head of hair, but,
when it comes to seizing an opportunity
she is bald.

In Fortune solio sederam elatus, prosperi-
tatis vario flore coronatus; quicquid enim
florui felix et beatus, nunc a summo corrui
gloria privatus.
Fortune rota volvitur: descendo mino-
ratus; alter in altum tollitur; nimis exal-
tatus rex sedet in vertice caveat ruinam!
Nam sub axe legimus Hecubam reginam.

PRIMO VERE
3. Veris leta facies
Veris leta facies mundo propinatur,
hiemalis acies victa iam fugatur, in vestitu
vario Flora principatur, nemorum dul-
cisono que cantu celebratur.
Flore fusus gremio Phebus novo more
risum dat, hac vario iam stipate flore.
Zephyrus nectareo spirans in odore.
Certatim pro bravio curramus in amore.
Cytharizat cantico dulcis Philomena, flore
rident vario prata iam serena, salit cetus
avium silve per amena, chorus promit
virgin iam gaudia millena.
4. Omnia sol temperat
Omnia sol temperat purus et subtilis,
novo mundo reserat faciem Aprilis, ad
amorem properat animus herilis et
iocundis imperat deus puerilis.
Rerum tanta novitas in solemni vere et
veris auctoritas jubet nos gaudere; vias
prebet solitas, et in tuo vere fides est et
probitas tuum retinere.
Ama me fideliter, fidem meam noto: de
corde totaliter et ex mente tota sum pre-
sentialiter absens in remota, quisquis
amat taliter, volvitur in rota.
On Fortune’s throne I used to sit raised up,
crowned with the many-colored flowers of
prosperity; though I may have flourished
happy and blessed, now I fall from the
peak deprived of glory.
The wheel of Fortune turns; I go down,
demeaned; another is raised up; far too
high up sits the king at the summit—let
him fear ruin! For under the axis is written
Queen Hecuba.
I.
SPRING
3. The merry face of spring
The merry face of spring turns to the
world, sharp winter now flees, van-
quished; bedecked in various colors Flora
reigns, the harmony of the woods praises
her in song. Ah!
Lying in Flora’s lap Phoebus once more
smiles, now covered in many-colored
flowers, Zephyr breathes nectar-scented
breezes. Let us rush to compete for love’s
prize. Ah!
In harp-like tones sings the sweet nightin-
gale, with many flowers the joyous
meadows are laughing, a flock of birds rises
up through the pleasant forests, the chorus
of maidens already promises a thousand
joys. Ah!
4. The sun warms everything
The sun warms everything, pure and
gentle, once again it reveals to the world
April’s face, the soul of man is urged
towards love and joys are governed by the
boy-god.
All this rebirth in spring’s festivity and
spring’s power bids us to rejoice; it shows us
paths we know well, and in your springtime
it is true and right to keep what is yours.
Love me faithfully! See how I am faithful: with
all my heart and with all my soul, I am with
you even when I am far away. Whosoever
loves this much turns on the wheel.

5. Ecce gratum
Ecce gratum et optatum Ver reducit

enat omnia. Iamiam cedant tristia! Estas
redit, nunc recedit Hyemis sevitia.
Iam liquescit et decrescit grando, nix et
cetera; bruma fugit, et iam sugit Ver
Estatis ubera; illi mens est misera, qui nec
vivit, nec lascivit sub Estatis dextera.
Gloriantur et letantur in melle dulcedinis,

5. Behold, the pleasant spring
Behold, the pleasant and longed-for spring
brings back joyfulness, violet flowers fill the
meadows, the sun brightens everything,
sadness is now at an end! Summer returns,
now withdraw the rigors of winter. Ah!
Now melts and disappears ice, snow and the
rest, winter flees, and now spring sucks at
summer’s breast: a wretched soul is he who
does not live or lust under summer’s rule. Ah!
They glory and rejoice in honeyed sweet-
ness who strive to make use of Cupid’s
prize; at Venus’ command let us glory and
rejoice in being Paris’ equals. Ah!

The noble woods are burgeoning with

The woods are turning green all over, why
is my lover away so long? Ah! He has
ridden off, Oh woe, who will love me? Ah!

Shopkeeper, give me color to make my
cheeks red, so that I can make the young
men love me, against their will. Look at

Good men, love women worthy of love!
Love ennobles your spirit and gives you
honor. Look at me, young men! Let me

Hail, world, so rich in joys! I will be obe-
dient to you because of the pleasures you
afford. Look at me, young men! Let me

11. Estuans interius
Estuans interius ira vehement in amaritu-
dine loquor mee menti: factus de materia,
cinis elementi similis sum folio, de quo
ludunt venti.
Cum sit enim proprium viro sapienti supra
petram ponere sedem fundamenti,
stultus ego comparor fluvio labenti, sub
eodem tramite nunquam permanenti.
Feror ego veluti sine nauta navis, ut per
vias aeris vaga fertur avis; non me tenent
vincula, non me tenet clavis, quero mihi
similes et adiungor pravis.
Mihi cordis gravitas res videtur gravis;
iocis est amabilis dulciorque favis; quic-
quid Venus imperat, labor est suavis, que
nunquam in cordibus habitat ignavis.
Via lata gradior more iuventutis inplicor et
vitiis immemor virtutis, voluptatis avidus
magis quam salutis, mortuus in anima
curam gero cutis.
9. Round dance
Those who go round and round are all
maidens, they want to do without a man all
summer long. Ah! Sla!
Come, come, my love, I long for you, I long for
you, come, come, my love. Sweet rose-red
lips, come and make me better, come and
make me better, sweet rose-red lips.
Those who go round and round…

Were all the world mine from the sea to
the Rhine, I would starve myself of it so
that the queen of England might lie in my
arms.

IN THE TAVERN
11. Burning Inside
Burning inside with violent anger, bitterly I
speak to my heart: created from matter, of
the ashes of the elements, I am like a leaf
played with by the winds.
If it is the way of the wise man to build
foundations on stone, then I am a fool, like
a flowing stream, which in its course never
changes.
I am carried along like a ship without a
steersman, and in the paths of the air like
a light, hovering bird; chains cannot hold
me, keys cannot imprison me, I look for
people like me and join the wretches.
The heaviness of my heart seems like a
burden to me; it is pleasant to joke and
sweeter than honeycomb; whatever Venus
commands is a sweet duty, she never
dwells in a lazy heart.
I travel the broad path as is the way of
youth, I give myself to vice, unmindful of
virtue, I am eager for the pleasures of the
flesh more than for salvation, my soul is
dead, so I shall look after the flesh.

12. Cignus ustus cantat
Olim lacus colueram, olim pulcher extit-
eram, dum cignus ego fueram.
Miser, miser! Nodo niger et ustus fortiter!
Girat, regirat garcifer; me rogus urit for-
titer; propinat me nunc dapifer,
Miser, miser! …
Nunc in scutella iaceo, et volitare nequeo

13. Ego sum abbas
Ego sum abbas Cucaniensis et consilium
meum est cum bibulis, et in secta Decii
voluntas mea est, et qui mane me que-
sierit in taberna, post vesperam nudus
egredietur, et sic denudatus veste clam-
abit: Wafna, wafna! Quid fecisti sors tur-
passi Nostre vite gaudia abstulisti omnia!
14. In taberna quando sumus
In taberna quando sumus non curamus
quid sit humus, sed ad ludum proper-
amus, cui semper insudamus. Quid
agatur in taberna ubi nummus est pin-
cerna, hoc est opus ut queratur, si quid
loquar, audiatur.
Quidam ludunt, quidam bibunt, quidam
indiscrete vivunt. Sed in ludo qui
morantur, ex his quidam denudantur
quidam ibi vestiuntur, quidam saccis indu-
untur. Ibi nullus timet mortem sed pro
Baccho mittunt sortem.
Primo pro nummata vini, ex hac bibunt lib-
ertini; semel bibunt pro captivis, post hec
bibunt ter pro vivis, quater pro Christianis
cunctis quinquies pro fidelibus defunctis,
sexies pro sororibus vanis, septies pro mil-
itibus silvanis.
12. The Roast Swan
Once I lived on lakes, once I looked beau-
tiful when I was a swan.
Misery me! Now black and roasting
fiercely!
The servant is turning me on the spit; I am
burning fiercely on the pyre: the steward
now serves me up.
Misery me!
Now I lie on a plate, and cannot fly any-
more, I see bared teeth:
Misery me!
13. I am the abbot
I am the abbot of Cockaigne and my
assembly is one of drinkers, and in the order
of Decius I wish to be, and whoever meets
me at the tavern (over dice), afterVespers he
will leave naked, and thus denuded he will
call out: Woe! Woe! What have you done,
vilest Fate? The joys of my life you have
taken all away!
14. When we are in the tavern
When we are in the tavern, we do not think
how we will go to dust, but we hurry to
gamble, which always makes us sweat.What
happens in the tavern, where money is host,
you may well ask, and hear what I say.
Some gamble, some drink, some behave
loosely. But of those who gamble, some
are stripped bare, some win their clothes
here, some are dressed in sacks. Here no
one fears death, but they throw the dice in
the name of Bacchus.
First of all it is to the wine-merchant the lib-
ertines drink, one for the prisoners, three
for the living, four for all Christians, five for
the faithful dead, six for the loose sisters,
seven for the footpads in the wood,

COUR D’ AMOURS
15. Amor volat undique
Amor volat undique, captus est libidine.
Iuvenes, iuvencule coniunguntur merito.
Siqua sine socio, caret omni gaudio; tenet
noctis infima sub intimo cordis in cus-
todia: fit res amarissima.
16. Dies, nox et omnia
Dies, nox et omnia michi sunt contraria;
virginum colloquia me fay planszer, oy
suvenz suspirer, plu me fay temer. O
sodales, ludite, vos qui scitis dicite michi
mesto parcite, grand ey dolur, attamen
consulite per voster honur. Tua pulchra
facies me fay planszer milies, pectus
Eight for the errant brethren, nine for the
dispersed monks, ten for the seamen,
eleven for the squabblers, twelve for the
penitent, thirteen for the wayfarers. To the
Pope as to the king they all drink without
restraint.
The mistress drinks, the master drinks, the
soldier drinks, the priest drinks, the man
drinks, the woman drinks, the servant drinks
with the maid, the swift man drinks, the lazy
man drinks, the white man drinks, the black
man drinks, the settled man drinks, the wan-
derer drinks, the stupid man drinks, the wise
man drinks, The poor man drinks, the sick
man drinks, the exile drinks, and the
stranger, the boy drinks, the old man drinks,
the bishop drinks, and the deacon, the sister
drinks, the brother drinks, the old lady
drinks, the mother drinks, this man drinks,
that man drinks, a hundred drink, a thousand
drink.
Six hundred pennies would hardly suffice,
if everyone drinks immoderately and
immeasurably. However much they cheer-
fully drink we are the ones whom
everyone scolds, and thus we are desti-
tute. May those who slander us be cursed
and may their names not be written in the
book of the righteous.

IN THE COURT OF SEDUCTION
15. Cupid flies everywhere
Cupid flies everywhere seized by desire.
Young men and women are rightly coupled.
The girl without a lover misses out on all plea-
sures, she keeps the dark night hidden in the

16. Day, night and everything
Day, night and everything is against me,
the chattering of maidens makes me
weep, and often sigh, and, most of all,
scares me. O friends, you are making fun
of me, you do not know what you are
saying, spare me, sorrowful as I am, great
is my grief, advise me at least, by your

In my heart there are many sighs for your

If a boy with a girl tarries in a little room, happy
is their coupling. Love rises up, and between
them prudery is driven away, an ineffable
game begins in their limbs, arms and lips.
20. Come, come, O come
Come, come, O come, do not let me die,
hycra, hycre, nazaza, trillirivos!
Beautiful is your face, the gleam of your eye,
your braided hair, what a glorious creature!
Redder than the rose, whiter than the lily,
lovelier than all others, I shall always glory
in you!

In the wavering balance of my feelings set
against each other lascivious love and
modesty. But I choose what I see, and
submit my neck to the yoke; I yield to the
