Texts and Translations

The Star-Spangled Banner (3 minutes) JOHN STAFFORD-SMITH (1750 –1836) Text by Francis Scott Key (1779 –1843) Arranged by Eric Whitacre

O say can you see by the dawn’s early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Lux A urumque (4 minutes) ERIC WHITACRE (b. 1970) Text by Edward Esch (b. 1970) Translation by Charles Anthony Silvestri (b. 1965 )

Joshua fit the Battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho, Joshua fit the Battle of Jericho, and the walls come tumbalin’ down. Right up to the walls of Jericho, He marched with spear in hand. “Go blow that ramhorn!” Joshua cried. ‘Cause the battle am in my hand. God, almighty, Then the lamb, ram, sheep horns begin to blow and the trumpet begins to sound. Joshua commanded the children to shout! Oh Lord, yes, and the walls come a tumbalin’ down. Oh Lord, you know that Joshua fit the Battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho, Joshua fit the Battle of Jericho, and the walls come tumbalin’ down.

Hurt (7 minutes) (b. 1965) Arranged by Eric Whitacre

I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel, I focus on the pain, the only thing that’s real. The needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting, try to kill it all away, but I remember ev’ry thing.

What have I become? My sweetest friend, every one I know, goes away in the end, and you could have it all my empire of dirt, I will let you down. I will make you hurt.

I wear this crown of thorns upon my liar’s chair, full of broken thoughts, I cannot repair. Beneath the stains of time, the feelings disappear, You are someone else, I am still right here.

What have I become? My sweetest friend, every one I know, 04-08 DCINY Mat.qxp_CH Rental 3/28/18 3:09 PM Page 7

goes away in the end, and you could have it all my empire of dirt, I will let you down. I will make you hurt.

Goodnight Moon (5 minutes) ERIC WHITACRE Text by Margaret Wise Brown (1910 –52)

In the great green room there was a telephone and a red balloon and a picture of The cow jumping over the moon,

and there were three little bears sitting on chairs, and two little kittens, and a pair of mittens, and a little toyhouse, and a young mouse, and a comb and a brush, and a bowl full of mush, and a quiet old lady who was whispering “hush.”

Goodnight room, goodnight moon, goodnight cow jumping over the moon, goodnight light, and the red balloon

Goodnight bears, goodnight chairs, goodnight kittens, and goodnight mittens

Goodnight clocks, and goodnight socks, goodnight little house and goodnight mouse

Goodnight comb, and goodnight brush, goodnight nobody, goodnight mush, and goodnight to the old lady whispering “hush”.

Goodnight stars, goodnight air, goodnight noises everywhere.

i carry your heart (5 minutes) ERIC WHITACRE Text by E.E. Cummings (1894 –1962)

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart) i am never without it (anywhere 04-08 DCINY Mat.qxp_CH Rental 3/28/18 3:09 PM Page 8

i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)

i fear no fate (for you are my fate) i want no world (for beautiful you are my world) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

Home from The Sacred Veil (4 minutes) ERIC WHITACRE Text by Charles Anthony Silvestri

Dreaming, longing, finding you. Seaside, and strawberries, falling for you. For you feel like home. Kissing, touching, holding you. You, feel like home.

The City and the Sea (14 minutes) ERIC WHITACRE Text by E.E. Cummings

No. 1: i walked the boulevard i walked the boulevard i saw a dirty child skating on noisy wheels of joy pathetic dress fluttering behind her a mother monster with red grumbling face cluttered in pursuit pleasantly elephantine while nearby the father a thick cheerful man with majestic bulbous lips and forlorn piggish hands joked to a girlish whore with busy rhythmic mouth and silly purple eyelids of how she was with child.

No. 2: the moon is hiding in her hair the moon is hiding in her hair. the lily of heaven full of all dreams, draws down. cover her briefness in singing close her with intricate faint birds by daisies and twi - lights deepen her, recite upon her flesh the rain’s pearls singly-whispering

No. 3: maggie and milly and molly and may maggie and milly and molly and may went down to the beach (to play one day) and maggie discovered a shell that sang so sweetly she couldn’t remember her troubles, and milly befriended a stranded star whose rays five languid fingers were; and molly was chased by a horrible thing which raced sideways while blowing bubbles and may came home with a smooth round stone as small as a world and as large as alone. for whatever we lose (like a you or a me) it’s always ourselves we find in the sea

No. 4: as is the sea marvelous as is the sea marvelous from god’s hands which sent her forth to sleep upon the world and the earth withers the moon crumbles one by one stars flutter into dust but 04-08 DCINY Mat.qxp_CH Rental 3/28/18 3:09 PM Page 9

the sea does not change and she goes forth out of hands and she returns into hands and is with sleep…love, the breaking of your soul upon my lips

No. 5: little man in a hurry little man (in a hurry full of an important worry) halt stop forget relax wait little child who have tried who have failed who have cried lie bravely down sleep big rain big snow big sun bug moon (enter us). little man (in a hurry full of an important worry) halt stop forget relax wait stop.

Cloudburst (8 minutes) ERIC WHITACRE Text by Octavio Paz, adapted by Eric Whitacre Translation by Lysander Kemp (1920 –92)

El cántaro roto The broken water jar La IIuvia… The rain…

Ojos de aqua de sombra, Eyes of shadow-water, ojos de agua de pozo, eyes of well-water, ojos de agua de sueño. eyes of dream-water.

Soles azules, verdes remolinos, Blue suns, green whirlwinds, picos de luz que abren astros birdbeaks of light pecking open como granadas. pomegranate stars.

¿Dime, tierra quemada, no hay agua? But tell me, burnt earth, is there no water? ¿hay sólo sangre, sólo hay polvo, Only blood, only dust, sólo pisadas de pies desnudos sobre la only naked footsteps on the thorns? espina?

La IIuvia despierta… The rain awakens…

Hay que dormer con los ojos abiertos, We must sleep with open eyes, hay que soñar con les manos, we must dream with our hands, soñemos sueños activos de río buscando we must dream the dreams of a river su cauce, seeking its course, sueños de sol soñando sus mundos, of the sun dreaming its worlds, hay que sonar en voz alta, we must dream aloud, hay que cantar hasta que el canto eche we must sing till the song puts forth roots, raíces, tronco, ramas, pájaros, astros, trunk, branches, birds, stars, hay que desenterrar la palabra perdida, we must find the lost word, recordar lo que dicen la sangre y la marea, and remember what the blood, le tierra y el cuerpo, the tides, the earth, and the body say, volver al punto de partida… and return to the point of departure…

Sleep (6 minutes) ERIC WHITACRE Text by Charles Anthony Silvestri

The evening hangs beneath the moon, A silver thread on darkened dune. With closing eyes and resting head I know that sleep is coming soon. 04-08 DCINY Mat.qxp_CH Rental 3/28/18 3:09 PM Page 10

Upon my pillow, safe in bed, A thousand pictures fill my head, I cannot sleep, my mind’s a-flight; And yet my limbs seem made of lead.

If there are noises in the night, A frightening shadow, flickering light; Then I surrender unto sleep, Where clouds of dream give second sight.

What dreams may come, both dark and deep, Of flying wings and soaring leap As I surrender unto sleep, As I surrender unto sleep.
