Wilhelm Peterson-Berger (1867 - 1942):
STEMNING (ALLE DE VOKSENDE SKYGGER) ~
Mood (All the growing shadows)
This song is no. 8 of "8 sånger för blandad kör", opus 11 ("8 songs for mixed choir").
Peterson-Berger was a Swedish composer and music-critic. The poem was written by J. P. Jacobsen, who was a Danish novelist, poet, and scientist.
Alle de voksende Skygger
har vævet sig sammen til en,
ensom paa Himmelen lyser
en Stjærne saa straalende ren,
Skyerne have saa tunge Drømme,
Blomsternes øjne i Duggraad svømme,
underligt Aftenvinden suser i Linden.
All the growing shadows have
Woven themselves into one,
Alone in the sky shines
A star so bright and pure.
The clouds have so heavy dreams,
Dew flows from flowers eyes,
And strangely sings the evening breeze,
Sings in the linden tree.
Musica Ficta
Conducted by Bo Holten
This is my favorite arrangement of the three (WP-B, Alfven, Stenhammar).
