I love my love and well he knows, I love the grass where on he goes; If he no more on earth will be, 'Twill surely be the end of me. Black is the color, etc. 2. I wonder as I wander I wonder as I wander out under the sky How Jesus our Savior did come for to die For poor orn'ry people like you and like I, I wonder as I wander out under the sky. When Mary birthed Jesus 'twas in a cow stall With wise men and farmers and shepherds and all, But high from the Heavens a star's light did fall The promise of ages it then did recall. If Jesus had wanted of any wee thing A star in the sky or a bird on the wing Or all of God's angels in Heav'n for to sing He surely could have had it 'cause he was the king. 3.

Rossignolet du bois Little nightingale Rossignolet du bois, Little nightingale of the woods, Rossignolet sauvage, little wild nightingale, Apprends-moi ton langage, teach me your secret language, Apprends-moi-z à parler, theach me how to speak like you, Apprends-moi la manière show me the way Comment il faut aimer. to love aright.

  • Konzert Mit Amber Rubarth
    PRESSEINFORMATION Natureum Niederelbe • 21730 Balje 24.01.2019 Ein musikalischer „Bernstein“ im Natureum Amerikanerin Amber Rubarth gibt Konzert im Naturkundemuseum Balje. Es gibt sie regelmäßig, die Bernsteintage im Natureum. Bernstein heißt ins Englische übersetzt „Amber“. Nun präsentiert sich am Sonnabend, 2. Februar, ein ganz besonderer Bernstein im Naturkundemuseum in Balje, denn die amerikanische Songwriterin und Folk- Sängerin Amber Rubarth gibt ein besonderes Konzert inmitten der Ausstellung „Lebensader Elbstrom“. Beginn des Konzertes ist um 19 Uhr, Einlass ab 18.30 Uhr. Der Eintritt ist frei. Es wird um Spenden für die Musikerin gebeten. Amber Rubarth ist das, was man eine „Globetrotterin“ nennt. Im vergangenen Jahr bereiste sie die halbe Welt und war nicht nur in Nordamerika und Europa auf den Musikbühnen zu finden, sondern auch ausgiebig in Asien auf Tour. Nun reist sie direkt vom „Americana Fest“ aus London an und begibt sich Ende Februar zu Konzerten auf einen Trip nach Südafrika. In Kalifornien geboren, zog es Amber Rubarth (Jahrgang 1982) als 17-Jährige nach Carson City in Nevada. Sie erlernte als Autodidaktin das Spiel auf der Gitarre. Im Jahr 2005 erblickte ihr erstes Album „Something New“ das Licht der Musikwelt. Aktuell lebt die Songwriterin und Schauspielerin in Nashville. Ende 2017 veröffentlichte die 36-Jährige schon ihr achtes Album, das den Titel „Wildflowers in the Graveyard“ trägt. Die Songs sind pure Entschleunigung, minimalistisch, aber gewaltig in ihrer Wirkung. Das Magazin „Westzeit“ des WDR urteilte dazu: „Das schönste und poetischste Folk-Album des Jahres“. Amber Rubarth ist bereits mit Emmylou Harris, Kenny Loggins, Richie Havens, Marc Cohn und Loudon Wainwright III getourt und wurde mit verschiedenen Preisen ausgezeichnet.

  • Author David Hajdu Makes Songwriter Debut with ​Waiting for the Angel
    Author David Hajdu Makes Songwriter Debut With Waiting for the Angel, ​ Culminating A 5-Year Collaboration with Esteemed Multi-Genre Composers Jill Sobule, Fred Hersch, Renee Rosnes & Michael “Mickey” Leonard Out August 28th on Miranda Music Album Features Top-Call Vocalists & Musicians Including Jo Lawry, Karen Oberlin, Michael Winther, Steve Wilson, Steven Bernstein, Charles Pillow, Peter Bernstein, Dave Eggar, Sean Smith & Carl Allen After years of writing about songs in books and essays, David Hajdu has taken up writing them. Over the past five years, Hajdu has been working with several esteemed composers of jazz, pop and theater music: the pianists Renee Rosnes and Fred Hersch, the alternative-folk singer-songwriter Jill Sobule, and the veteran Broadway composer Michael (Mickey) Leonard. The result is Waiting for the Angel, a collection of quirkily artful songs that defy easy ​ ​ categorization. The album will be released by Miranda Music as a CD and digital download, with a bonus track, on August 28. An all-star group of artists came together to record the material: singers Jo Lawry, Karen Oberlin, and Michael Winther; pianists Rosnes and Hersch, playing the songs they composed; additional pianist Tedd Firth; and a band with saxophonist Steve Wilson, trumpeter Steven Bernstein, guitarist Peter Bernstein; oboist Charles Pillow, cellist Dave Eggar, bassist Sean Smith, and drummer Carl Allen. Much like Hajdu's writing in prose, the lyrics on Waiting for the Angel tell unexpected tales ​ ​ from unconventional vantage points. "David Hajdu's lyrics tell complex and moving stories -- always from his unique point of view," says Fred Hersch. "They are so easy to work with, the songs almost write themselves." Jill Sobule adds, "I wish I wrote those lyrics myself." As Renee Rosnes says, "When David first ​ asked if I might be interest to write some songs together, I was very intrigued.

  • American Modern Ensemble Is Joined By
    American Modern Ensemble Is Joined by Duo Scorpio for the Opening of Its 2016-17 Season at Chelsea’s The Cell: Music by Robert Paterson, Andy Akiho, and Lou Harrison on Friday, November 18, 2016 Three Composers with Percussion Backgrounds Write for Harp – Paterson: “Perhaps percussionists enjoy composing for the harp because in some ways writing for harp is similar to composing for mallet instruments.” American Modern Ensemble, the critically-acclaimed new music group praised by The New York Times as “simply first-rate,” opens its 2016-17 season joined by the harp duo Duo Scorpio at The Cell in Chelsea on Friday, November 18: a concert of harp-centric music ranging from a 1949 piece by the maverick Lou Harrison to three works written in the past five years by two young leading-edge composers, Robert Paterson and Andy Akiho. The concert is AME’s annual fundraising event, featuring an open bar and hors d’oeuvres. Robert Paterson: Freya’s Tears (2011) for violin and harp Robert Paterson: Pegasus (2014) for flute and harp Andy Akiho: Two Bridges (2014) for two harps (written for Duo Scorpio) Duo Scorpio Photo by Frances Melhop Lou Harrison: Suite for Cello and Harp (1949) Praised by The New York Times for "consistently showing a knack for inventive programming," American Modern Ensemble is led by composer Robert Paterson, its artistic director. Founded in 2005 with a core of 20 performers, AME spotlights American composers via lively thematic programming, performing a wide repertoire of new works using varied combinations of instrumentalists, vocalists, and conductors. The musicians performing this program are Sato Moughalian, flute; Esther Noh, violin; and Dave Eggar, cello.
