Ralph Vaughan Williams: Serenade to Music (Part 1)
Uploaded by: hirowaki2
Video Description:
(Salzburg, June 2008)
How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank!
Here will we sit and let the sounds of music
Creep in our ears: soft stillness and the night
Become the touches [IB] of sweet harmony.
[HN] Look how the floor of heaven
Is thick inlaid with patines of bright gold:
[FT] There's not the smallest orb that thou behold'st
But in his motion like an angel sings,
[WW] Still quiring to the young-eyed cherubins;
Such harmony is in immortal souls;
[PJ] But whilst this muddy vesture of decay
Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it.
[SA] Come, ho! and wake Diana with a hymn!
With sweetest touches pierce your mistress' ear,
And draw her home with music.
[ES] I am never merry when I hear sweet music.
[RE] The reason is, your spirits are attentive --
[HW] The man that hath no music in himself,
[RH] Nor is not mov'd with concord of sweet sounds,
[RE] Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils;
[NA] The motions of his spirit are dull as night
And his affections dark as Erebus:
Let no such man be trusted. [MBr] Music! hark!
It is your music of the house.
[AD] Methinks it sounds much sweeter than by day.
[MJ] Silence bestows that virtue on it
[ET] How many things by season season'd are
To their right praise and true perfection!
[MBa] Peace, ho! the moon sleeps with Endymion
And would not be awak'd. Soft stillness and the night
Become the touches [IB] of sweet harmony.

El viol

Sucked ass... I sang baritone on this song. Unfortunately I didnt get a solo because our show choir composed of 13 students got the solos which I was bummed about. Nice job tho. Dang that piano player is great. 5/5 stars. =D
