She has danced, choreographed, and taught dance (1897-1944) throughout the L.A. area, and works extensively in both concert and commercial dance. Chapman’s dance program, and all the performance and choreography Drei Jiddische Lieder Viktor Ullmann opportunities it gave me, allowed me to thrive as an artist. It was truly the “incubation period” of my career where I gained invaluable knowledge and Berjoskele (1898-1944) experience that I use every day as a choreographic professional and artistic Margaretkelekh leader in Los Angeles. — G.C.

Such drops fall so softly, so lost from the world, A long time will I stay near to you Greta (Adam Kuckhoff ) …Für Ule (Adam Kuckhoff ) And still! What a noise would resound And fearlessly await silent death. To others I have often written many verses, …For Ule If suddenly we, with God’s ears, Promise me one thing, you will give a sign, To you only here and there a small word. Ule, son, you small light, Heard the tears, which in little nights fall!! That for me, the gate of the gloomy night, opens. Does this show a less powerful love? You are far away. I can’t see you. You will lift, the pure shell of your hand Don’t I leave you as a debtor? You will soon be an adult. Der Ofen von Lublin (Theodore Kramer) From out of which fl ows the light of your soul. Oh beloved, immeasurable, You will fl y in the open air! The Oven from Lublin You will bless me when I turn myself around Was the love that bonded us. My darling son, my later happiness, There is an oven, a strange hole And painfully long, a sweet, last time. About her have I forgotten the word, I leave you fatherless behind. In a sandy fi eld near Lublin. Press my forehead in your loving hands Because everyday we found ourselves in her. An entire nation is not enough; The trains were led there day and night, Promise it soon, already arrives the morning. Do you think about the blood in your lungs? Humanity will be your father. The desiccated in cattle cars. Do you speak of the air that surrounds you? My dear son, my little light, You are far away, I can’t see you. There were many people from any country Du alter Baum (Johanna Kirchner) No, I haven’t sung you, Gassed and also yet burned alive You, Old Tree I have only loved you. In the fi ery hole of Lublin. You, old tree, you friend from earlier days, Shouldn’t I still have a lot to tell you? They let wave for three years on the mast You refuge you, my arbor, green tent, Every hour takes away from the last one The Swastika fl ag over Lublin. You old tree, you heard my questions, And yet I fi nd in these days, They were in no hurry to bury them. To you I carried worries of my world played calmly, Hardly a word.
