I wanted to pass by, but it had to happen
that, like in a dream, I plucked your kiss.
Joseph Marx Wie einst / As before
Charles Koechlin L’hiver / Winter
Under a grey and clear sky
all sing us the same skales
At the forest of Boulogne in the winter
the earth wears its coat of snow
Nicolai Medtner Frisch gesungen!
And some things I’ve experienced
made me silently very angry
but the next time I sang
all was well again
Charles Koechlin Le thé / The tea
Miss Ellen, pour me some tea.
Agathe Backer-Grøndahl Aftnen er stille / Evening is still
Evening is still
the hours fall
silently through eternal space
Agathe Backer-Gröndahl Selmas tankar i våren / Selma’s thoughts in springtime
What is your longing, my flowers?
Who are you waiting for?
Wolfgang Mozart Jr Entzückung / Ecstasy
What heaven! Juliane flutters
through the tree-lined garden path!
Engelbert Humperdinck Wiegenlied/Lullaby
Drum schlaf nur, mein Liebling, schlaf selig und fest,
wie’s Lämmchen im Stall, wie der Vogel im Nest!
Eduard Lassen April
I would like to compose a song
just like this evening
And can not find a sound
as dark, mild and soft.
Agathe Backer-Grøndahl Fågelns visa / The little bird’s song
And the birds still sings today
If the sweetheart came, I don’t know
And nor does the angel !
Lars-Erik Larsson Allmänna Salen / General Ward
Dont tremble, don’t cry
It’s just the way things happen when you die,
you see
Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco Am Teetisch / At the tea-table
They sat round the tea-table drinking,
And speaking of love a great deal;
The men of aesthetics were thinking,
The ladies more prone were to feel.
