Franz Schubert Ganymed

How in the morning light
you glow around me,
beloved Spring!
With love's thousand-fold bliss,
to my heart presses
the eternal warmth
of sacred feelings
and endless beauty!

Would that I could clasp
you in these arms!

Ah, at your breast
I lie and languish,
and your flowers and your grass
press themselves to my heart.
You cool the burning
thirst of my breast,
lovely morning wind!
The nightingale calls
lovingly to me from the misty vale.

I am coming, I am coming!
but whither? To where?

Upwards I strive, upwards!
The clouds float
downwards, the clouds
bow down to yearning love.
To me! To me!
In your lap
upwards!
Embracing, embraced!
Upwards to your bosom,
All-loving Father!

la voz no está adelante-

Thank you for your comment...tu es un profesor de canto?

[lacigarrados]

Así es.

[penelopeinbrazil]

Good :-)

The reason it is not 'forward' is that I was going through the transition from soprano to mezzo and also didnt have a teacher for 2 months... actually I still don't have a teacher but now things are much more stable and I have 'found my voice'... I hope to post some new material soon and that you will like it :-)

Abraços

Hello!

Im afraid I know have any details about this statue... I got the photos as a result of a Google search for Ganymed images. I have tried to find out more since then but without success!

It is very beautiful, I wish I could have seen it in real life before recording!

So let me know if you find out anything about it!

take care,

Penelope

Hello again!

Yes its me and my wonderful pianist Luiz....

[lacigarrados]

l see, well good luck. And by the way, try to discover the Latinamerican Art Song, it s much richer than the brazilian one. In Argentina you can also work with children and do some music. l guess the situation in Argentina is much "estable" than in Brazil. Bolivia has 2 ancient music festival. Some argentine componist: Ginastera, Guastavino, Piazzolla, Luzzati. Give them a try!!

Thanks anyway. Is that you singing, by the way?

I'd love to know the source of the kneeling statue at about 1 minute plus. A lovely rendition of the song - thank you.
