Missa Lorca: Dona Nobis Pacem
Dona nobis pacem.
Lluvia
La lluvia tiene un vago secreto de ternura,
algo de sonolencia resignada y amable,
una musica humilde se despierta con ella.
Es un besar azul que recibe la Tierre.
Es la aurora del fruto. La que nos trae las flores
y nos unge de espiritu santo de los mares.
Y son las gotas: ojos de infinito que miran
al infinito blanco que le sirvio de madre.
¡Oh lluvia silenciosa, sin tormentas ni vientos,
lluvia mansa y serena de esquila y luz suave,
lluvia buena y pacifica que eres la verdadera,
la que amorosa y trites sobre las cosas caes!
¡Oh lluvia fransciscana que llevas a tus gotas
almas de fuentes claras y humilde manantiales!
¡Oh lluvia silenciosa que los arboles aman
y eres sobre el piano dulzura emocionante,
das al alma las misma nieblas y resonancias
que pones en el alma dormida del paisaje!
Grant us peace.
Poets are great people who can expess their emotions well through their poetry.
Composers are even greater people who are able to bring out the original feelings expressed by the poets through music.
Music, transcends all else to touch the inner walls of all men.
Without music, how would you ever say that you truly felt?
Without music, how would you say that you have truly lived?
Music, crosses all boundaries, including that of languages, cultures and nature.
Music, allows you to paint your own image, one that may be unique and different from the rest, of what you feel and thought of the piece.
Sadness, without pessimism [the essence of Tango], should be what we should all learn to achieve.
If you had listened with your heart instead of your ears, and felt in addition to thought, you would have gained much from LLUVIA presented by SYC Ensemble Singers conducted by Ms Jennifer Tham.
