Susanna Phillips and Craig Terry in a live performance at Alice Tully Hall, 19 November 2009.
Auf Flügeln des Gesanges, Op. 34, No. 2
Text: Heinrich Heine (1797-1856)
Translation: Marty Lucas
On Wings of Song
On wings of song,
my love, I'll carry you away
to the fields of the Ganges
Where I know the most beautiful place.
There lies a red-flowering garden,
in the serene moonlight,
the lotus-flowers await
Their beloved sister.
The violets giggle and cherish,
and look up at the stars,
The roses tell each other secretly
Their fragant fairy-tales.
The gentle, bright gazelles,
pass and listen;
and in the distance murmurs
The waves of the holy stream.
There we will lay down,
under the palm-tree,
and drink of love and peacefulness
And dream our blessed dream
Susanna - that was just GORGEOUS! I have an advanced teen soprano singing this right now and how wonderful to show her this beautiful rendition by a fellow Alabamian! Thanks for sharing!
