Was it worth while to forego our wings To gain these dextrous hands ? Truly they fashion us wonderful things As the fancy of man demands.

But - to fly! to sail through the lucid air From crest to violet crest Of these great grey mountains, quartz-veined and bare, Where the white clouds gather and rest.

Even to flutter from flower to flower,— To skim the tops of the trees,— In the roseate light of a sun-setting hour To drift on a sea-going breeze.

Ay, the hands have marvellous skill To create us curious things,— Baubles, playthings, weapons to kill, - But—I would we had chosen wings!

“Dreams of a New Day”, a Landmark Recording Project from Cedille

Cedille CDR 90000 200 I have always made my admiration clear regarding Chicago based Cedille Records. They release quality recordings of unusual but intelligent choices of repertoire. This recording continues that formula but here achieves what is likely to be seen as a landmark anthology (or at least sampling) of Art Song by Black Composers. It speaks on many levels, as poetry, as music, as a…

“Often devotion to virtue arises from effin sated desire.”

[flordecacao]

Every curve of that beauty is known to me, Every tint of that delicate roseleaf skin, And these are printed on every atom of me, Burnt in on every fibre until I die.

Memory, from Laurence Hope’s “The Garden of Kama”, 1901.

"I shall go the way of the open sea,

To the lands I knew before you came,

And the cool ocean breezes shall blow from me

The memory of your name." 💙

another old piece I never properly recorded, eh well this isn’t a perfect recording anyway :/ Music by me, words are by Adela Florence Nicolson The time of our Trysting! Oh, come, unresisting, Lovely, expectant, on tentative feet. Shadow shall cover us, Roses bend over us, Making a bride chamber, sacred and sweet. We know not Life’s reason, The length of its season, Know not if they know, the great Ones above. We none of us sought it, And few could support it, Were it not gilt with the glamour of love.

I see your red-gold hair and know How white the hidden skin must be, Though sun-kissed face and fingers show The fervour of the noon-day glow, The keenness of the sea. My longing fancies ebb and flow, Still circling constant unto this; My great desire (ah, whisper low) To plant on thy forbidden snow The rosebud of a kiss. The scarlet flower would spread and grow, Your whiteness change and flush, Be still, my reckless heart, beat slow, ('T is but a dream that stirs thee so!) To one transparent blush.

There is an hour, at twilight, too heavy with memory. There is a flower that I fear, for your hair had its fragrance.
