AUGUSTA READ THOMAS (b.1964) Alleluia: "midsummer blaze" THOMAS Amen (world premiere) BERNARD RANDS (b.1934) from Canti d'Amor THOMAS The Rub of Love Canti d'Amor James Joyce Well-a-day! Winds of May Well-a-day! Winds of May, that dance on the sea, Dancing a ring-around in glee From furrow to furrow, while overhead The foam flies up to be garlanded, In silvery arches spanning the air, Saw you my true love anywhere? Well-a-day! Well-a-day! For the winds of May! Love is unhappy when love is away! Silently she's combing her long hair Silently she's combing, Combing her long hair, Silently and graciously, With many a pretty air. The sun is in the willow leaves And on the dappled grass, And still she's combing her long hair Before the looking-glass. I pray you, cease to comb out, Comb out your long hair, For I have heard of witchery Under a pretty air, That makes as one thing to the lover Staying and going hence, All fair, with many a pretty air And many a negligence.
