Im wunderschönen Monat Mai I. In the Wondrously Beautiful Month of May Im wunderschönen Monat Mai, In the wondrously beautiful month of May, Als alle Knospen sprangen, As all of the buds burst into bloom, Da ist in meinem Herzen It was then that in my heart Die Liebe aufgegangen. Love started to blossom. Im wunderschönen Monat Mai, In the wondrously beautiful month of May, Als alle Vögel sangen, When all the birds were singing, Da hab’ ich ihr gestanden It was then that I confessed Mein Sehnen und Verlangen My desire and longing to her. II. Aus meinen Tränen spriessen II. From My Tears Will Spring Aus meinen Tränen spriessen From my tears will spring Viel blühende Blumen hervor, Many blooming flowers. Und meine Seufzer werden And my sighs will become Ein Nachtigallenchor. A chorus of nightingales. Und wenn du mich lieb hast, Kindchen, And if you love me, child, Schenk’ ich dir die Blumen all’, I will give you all of the flowers, Und vor deinem Fenster soll klingen And outside your window shall sound Das Lied der Nachtigall. The song of the nightingale. III. Die Rose, die Lilie, die Taube, die Sonne III. The Rose, the Lily, the Dove, the Sun Die Rose, die Lilie, die Taube, die Sonne, The rose, the lily, the dove, the sun, Die liebt’ ich einst alle in Liebeswonne. I loved them all once in the spell of love. Ich lieb’ sie nicht mehr, ich liebe alleine I now longer love them, I only love Die Kleine, die Feine, die Reine, die Eine; The small, the fine, the pure, the rare; Sie selber, aller Liebe Wonne, She herself, the most life giving of all loves, Ist Rose und Lilie und Taube und Sonne. Is the rose and lily and dove and sun. IV. Wenn ich in deine Augen seh’ IV. When I Look into Your Eyes Wenn ich in deine Augen seh’, When I look into your eyes, So schwindet all’ mein Leid und Weh; All my pain and despair vanishes; Doch wenn ich küße deinen Mund, But when I kiss your lips, So werd’ ich ganz und gar gesund. then completely healed. Wenn ich mich lehn’ an deine Brust, When I place my head on your breast, Kommt’s über mich wie Himmelslust; Heavenly bliss comes over me; Doch wenn du sprichst: ich liebe dich! But when you say: I love you! So muß ich weinen bitterlich. I must weep bitterly. V. Ich will meine Seele tauchen V. I Want to Bathe My Soul Ich will meine Seele tauchen I want to bathe my soul In den Kelch der Lilie hinein; In the lily’s chalice; Die Lilie soll klingend hauchen The lily shall ring out Ein Lied von der Liebsten mein.

Das Lied soll schauern und beben The song shall tremble and pulse Wie der Kuß von ihrem Mund, Like the kiss from her lips Den sie mir einst gegeben That she once gave to me In wunderbar süßer Stund’. In a wondrous, sweet hour. VI. Im Rhein, im heiligen Strome VI. In the Rhine, in the Holy River Im Rhein, im heiligen Strome, In the Rhine, in the holy river, Da spiegelt sich in den Well’n There, reflected in the waves, Mit seinem großen Dome With its great cathedral, Das große, heil’ge Köln. The great, holy city of Cologne. Im Dom da steht ein Bildnis, In the cathedral hangs a picture, Auf goldnem Leder gemalt; Painted on gilded leather; In meines Lebens Wildnis Into my life’s wilderness Hat’s freundlich hineingestrahlt. It has cast its friendly rays. Es schweben Blumen und Eng’lein Flowers and angels hover Um unsre liebe Frau; Around our beloved Mother; Die Augen, die Lippen, die Wänglein, Her eyes, her lips, her cheeks Die gleichen der Liebsten genau. Are the same image as my love’s. VII. Ich grolle nicht VII. I Bear No Grudge Ich grolle nicht, und wenn das Herz auch bricht, I bear no grudge, even though my heart is breaking, Ewig verlor’nes Lieb!

No ray falls in the night of your heart. Das weiß ich längst. I’ve known that for a long time. 7 Ich grolle nicht, und wenn das Herz auch bricht, I bear no grudge, even though my heart is breaking, Ich sah dich ja im Traume, I saw you in my dreams, Und sah die Nacht in deines Herzens Raume, And saw the night in your heart’s cavity, Und sah die Schlang’, die dir am Herzen frißt, And saw the serpent that devours your heart, Ich sah, mein Lieb, wie sehr du elend bist. I saw, my love, how very miserable you are. Ich grolle nicht. I bear no grudge. VIII. Und wüßten’s die Blumen VIII. If the Little Flowers Knew Und wüßten’s die Blumen, die kleinen, If the little flowers knew, the little ones, Wie tief verwundet mein Herz, How deeply my heart is wounded, Sie würden mit mir weinen, They would weep with me, Zu heilen meinen Schmerz. To heal my pain. Und wüßten’s die Nachtigallen, If the nightingales knew Wie ich so traurig und krank, How sad and sick I am, Sie ließen fröhlich erschallen They would sing merrily, Erquickenden Gesang. A refreshing song. Und wüßten sie mein Wehe, And if they knew of my pain, Die goldenen Sternelein, Those little golden stars, Sie kämen aus ihrer Höhe, They would come down from on high, Und sprächen Trost mir ein. And comfort me with their words. Sie alle können’s nicht wissen, All of them cannot know, Nur eine kennt meinen Schmerz; Only one knows my pain; Sie hat ja selbst zerrissen, She is the one who tore, Zerrissen mir das Herz. Tore my heart in two. IX. Das ist ein Flöten und Geigen IX. There Is Fluting and Fiddling Das ist ein Flöten und Geigen, There is fluting and fiddling, Trompeten schmettern darein; Trumpets blare; Da tanzt wohl den Hochzeitsreigen That must be my dearest love Die Herzallerliebste mein. Dancing at her wedding feast. Das ist ein Klingen und Dröhnen, There’s ringing and roaring, Ein Pauken und ein Schalmei’n; Drumming and piping; Dazwischen schluchzen und stöhnen Interspersed with sobbing and moaning Die lieblichen Engelein.

  • Voice Types in Opera
    Voice Types in Opera In many of Central City Opera’s educational programs, we spend some time explaining the different voice types – and therefore character types – in opera. Usually in opera, a voice type (soprano, mezzo soprano, tenor, baritone, or bass) has as much to do with the SOUND as with the CHARACTER that the singer portrays. Composers will assign different voice types to characters so that there is a wide variety of vocal colors onstage to give the audience more information about the characters in the story. SOPRANO: “Sopranos get to be the heroine or the princess or the opera star.” – Eureka Street* “Sopranos always get to play the smart, sophisticated, sweet and supreme characters!” – The Great Opera Mix-up* A soprano is a woman’s voice type. There are many different kinds of sopranos within the general category: coloratura, lyric, and spinto are a few. Coloratura soprano: Diana Damrau as The Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute (Mozart): https://youtu.be/dpVV9jShEzU Lyric soprano: Mirella Freni as Mimi in La bohème (Puccini): https://youtu.be/yTagFD_pkNo Spinto soprano: Leontyne Price as Aida in Aida (Verdi): https://youtu.be/IaV6sqFUTQ4?t=1m10s MEZZO SOPRANO: “There are also mezzos with a lower, more exciting woman’s voice…We get to be magical or mythical characters and sometimes… we get to be boys.” – Eureka Street “Mezzos play magnificent, magical, mysterious, and miffed characters.” – The Great Opera Mix-up A mezzo soprano is a woman’s voice type. Just like with sopranos, there are different kinds of mezzo sopranos: coloratura, lyric, and dramatic.

A large body of published research exists regarding the physiology of breathing, the acoustics of singing, and solutions for specific vocal faults. There is similarly a growing body of research into the system of voice classification and repertoire assignment. This paper shall reexamine this research in light of baritenor voices. After establishing the general parameters of healthy vocal technique through appoggio, the various tenor, baritone, and bass Fächer will be studied to establish norms of vocal criteria such as range, timbre, tessitura, and registration for each Fach. The study of these Fächer includes examinations of the historical singers for whom the repertoire was created and how those roles are cast by opera companies in modern times. The specific examination of baritenors follows the same format by examining current and

  • Ganga As Perceived by Some Ganga Lovers Mother Ganga's Rights Are Our Rights
    Ganga as Perceived by Some Ganga Lovers Mother Ganga’s Rights Are Our Rights Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswati Nearly 500 million people depend every day on the Ganga and Her tributaries for life itself. Like the most loving of mothers, She has served us, nourished us and enabled us to grow as a people, without hesitation, without discrimination, without vacation for millennia. Regardless of what we have done to Her, the Ganga continues in Her steady fl ow, providing the waters that offer nourishment, livelihoods, faith and hope: the waters that represents the very life-blood of our nation. If one may think of the planet Earth as a body, its trees would be its lungs, its rivers would be its veins, and the Ganga would be its very soul.

For perhaps a billion people, Mother Ganga is a living goddess who can elevate the soul to blissful union with the Divine. She provides benediction for infants, hope for worshipful adults, and the promise of liberation for the dying and deceased.
