    20 YEARS OF SWEET VOICES Saturday, September 7, 2013, 7:30 p.m. Holy Trinity Episcopal Church Program Surge amica mea .................................................................................................................................................. Anonymous (c. 1400) Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the covert of the cliff, show me your face, let your voice sound in my ears; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely. Rise Up My Love, My Fair One .............................................................................................................. Healey Willan (1880 - 1968) Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away; for lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear upon the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come; arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. Když jsi v štĕsti ................................................................................................................. Jan Facilis Boleslavsky (16th century) When you are happy you have many friends. This is true, believe me. However, if there is misfortune, not one friend out of one hundred will stay. Belief, anger, unfaithfulness, all cause derision, which divides a friendship.

Marco Borggreve) PROGRAMME NOTES by Sarah Maxted In this programme, Stile Antico chart a course through the music of night-time, from dusk to dawn. For poets and musicians of the sixteenth century, the themes of darkness, dreams and sleep were a rich source of inspiration. The cover of darkness was an invitation to secrecy – illicit longings, clandestine religion, political stirrings, unspeakable grief – whilst sleep brought the sweetness of repose and dreaming, but also profound danger. Sleeping bodies were vulnerable to attack and disease, just as sleeping souls were susceptible to sin and supernatural threats.
