On a poem (Les Roses) by Rainer Maria Rilke
“Abandon surrounding abandon, tenderness touching tenderness...
Your oneness endlessly caresses itself, so they say;
self-caressing through its own clear reflection.
Thus you invent the theme of Narcissus fulfilled.”
Words & music Phil Spector, Ellie Greenwich & Jeff Barry, arr. Roger Emerson
Traditional Serbian (Yugoslavian) Gypsy dance, arranged by Nick Page
Ensemble: Jan D., Virginia DeC., Donna G., Kim H., Joanne N., Amy S., Beth S., Lucy T.
“Let’s go to the baths and kiss, kiss, kiss!”
To Central Europeans this 9/8 rhythm of 2+2+2+3 is as natural as a 4/4 rock beat is in North America.
Eleanor Daley
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am the thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight-ripened grain,
I am the gentle morning rain.
And when you wake in the morning’s hush,
I am the sweet uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.
Music and text by Nathan Christensen
On the poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
