Dear Friends,

Below are links to the two clips that I presented in class today -- which you can hear at your leisure, along with the lyrics to the song. (If you didn't attend the class today, you can also check out some of the beautiful music we shared.)

Adagietto from Symphony #5 - Gustavo Dudamel and the Simon Bolivar Orchestra
(This movement begins at 47:47 -- 47 minutes and 47 seconds -- in case it doesn't sync up correctly on your computer.)

Here's a second version of the Adagietto led by Herbert Von Karajan:

Song from Kindertotenlieder sung by Matthias Goerne:

Here's the song from Kindertotenlieder (Songs on the Death of Children) sung by Thomas Hampson, with Leonard Bernstein conducting

IN THIS WEATHER, THIS RAGING STORM
English Translation © Richard Stokes
In this weather, this raging storm,
I’d never have let the children out;
But they were carried from the house,
I had no say in the matter.
In this weather, this howling gale,
I’d never have let the children out,
I feared that they would fall ill;
These are now but idle thoughts.
In this weather, this dreadful blast,
I’d never have let the children out.
I feared they might die next day,
There is no cause for such fears now.
In this weather, this raging storm,
I’d never have let the children out;
But they were carried from the house,
I had no say in the matter.
In this weather, this howling gale, this raging storm,
They rest, as if in their mother’s house.
Frightened by no storm,
Protected by God’s hand,
They rest, as if in their mother’s house!
Hope to see you next week for Duke Ellington!
