    English version here • In This Sweet Summerti...
    Text by Paul Gerhardt (1653), translated to Swedish (from German) by Joachim von Düben (1708-1786)
    I denna ljuva sommartid
    gå ut, min själ, och gläd dig vid
    den store Gudens gåvor.
    Se, hur i prydning jorden står,
    se, hur för dig och mig hon får
    så underbara håvor.
    Av rika löv är grenen full,
    och jorden täckt sin svarta mull
    med sköna gröna kläder.
    De fagra blommors myckenhet
    med större prakt och härlighet
    än Salomos dig gläder.
    När jag hör trastens klara sång,
    när lärkan jublar dagen lång
    högt ovan fält och backar,
    då kan jag icke tiga still.
    Min Gud, så länge jag är till
    för livet jag dig tackar.
    English Translation (from German) by Catherine Winkworth (1827-1878) (with some adaptations by the composer)
    Go forth, my heart, and seek delight,
    While summer reigns so fair and bright,
    View Earth's abundance daily;
    The beauty of these gardens see,
    Behold how they for me and thee
    Have decked themselves so gaily.
    The trees with spreading leaves are blessed,
    The earth her dusty rind has dressed
    In green so young and tender.
    The daffodil and tulip fair
    Are clothed in raiment far more rare
    Than Solomon in splendor.
    The lark soars upward to the skies,
    And from her cote the pigeon flies,
    Her way to woodlands winging.
    The silver-throated nightingale
    Fills mountain, meadow, hill and vale
    With her delightful singing.

    beautiful piece, but i gotta ask. Why did you decide to write the score in 6/4 when the meter seems to be common time?

    • @clarkwilliamlawlor
      @clarkwilliamlawlor  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Good question. It certainly looks like it's in 4 through much of the piece, but the subdivisions should definitely be felt in 6. The dotted quarters have a subtle syncopated 2-against-3 feel. It becomes much less subtle once you get to m. 25 (1:20) when there is a clear 2-against-3. But you can see these subdivisions way back in mm. 3 (alto), 4, 6, 8 (soprano) and m. 9+ (tenor), and various other places.

      Ha ha, I'm flattered that anyone noticed! I unlisted it because I recently submitted it to a competition. I'll bring it back, but hopefully with a real recording (or at least a better MIDI one). We'll see! Stay posted.

      Hey, I thought I'd let you know, I posted a better version of Life on the Ocean Wave. th-cam.com/video/XbUGgp3F_sE/w-d-xo.html. It's still just MIDI, but with a better sound library. It's still unlisted currently because I'm thinking about just getting it recorded soon, but I haven't decided.
