Le tre Grazie a Venere Barbara Strozzi ‘‘Bella madre d’Amore, Fair mother of Cupid, Ancor non ti ramembra Still do you not recollect Che nuda avesti di bellezza il grido That, naked, you had the palm of beauty In sul troiano lido Upon the Trojan shore Dal giudice pastore? From the shepherd sitting in judgment? Onde se nuda piaci So, if naked you were pleasing In sin agl’occhi di bifolchi idei, E’en to the eyes of rustics upon Mount Ida, Vanarella che sei! What a vain thing you are! Perché vuoi tu con tanti addobbi e tanti Why do you wish, with so many ornaments, Ricoprirti agl’amanti? To cover yourself up to lovers? O vesti le tue Grazie e i nudi Amori Either clothe your Graces and naked Cupids, O getta ancor tu fuori Or else cast off Gl’arnesi, i manti e i veli; Your garb and cloak and veil; Di quelle care membra Let not a single one Nulla, nulla si celi. Of those dear limbs be concealed. Tu ridi e non rispondi? You laugh, and reply not? Ah, tu le copri, sì, tu le nascondi; Ah, you cover them, indeed, you hide them; Ché sai ch’invoglia più, che più s’apprezza For you know that all the more tempting is La negata bellezza. the appreciation of beauty denied. 3. Dispiegate Guancie Amate Francesca Caccini Dispiegate, Deh togliete Guancie amate, Quella rete Quella porpora acerbetta: Auree chiome, aureo tesoro: Che perdenti Ch’a toccarvi Che dolenti Ch’a spiegarvi Sian le rose in su l’erbetta. Tornerà quest’aria d’oro. Display, beloved cheeks, that pungent little crimson, Ah, remove that net, golden hair, golden treasure, so that in so that bested and saddened the roses upon the grass will be. touching you, in loosening you, this golden breeze will return. Deh partite, Apri, o labbro Deh scoprite, Di cinabro, Chiare stelle, i vostri rai: Un sorriso ancor tra ’l velo: Che scoprendo, Ch’ad aprirlo, Che partendo Ch’a scoprirlo, Già men chiaro il sol d’assai. Riderà la terra e ’l cielo Ah, come forth, ah, reveal, clear stars, your rays, so that Open, o lips of cinnabar, a smile through the veil, so that, in revealing,And coming forth, the sun will be much less by opening it, by revealing it, earth and heaven shall laugh. bright. Svela, svela Quel che cela, Dolce bocca, il desir vostro: Ch’a svelarlo, Ch’a mostrarlo Perderan le perle e l’ostro. Reveal, reveal, what your desire conceals, sweet mouth, for when it is revealed, and it is shown, the pearls and crimson shades will pale. 4.Ricercar Diego Ortiz 5. Amor dormiglione Luigi Rossi Amor, non dormir più! Cupid, enough of this sleeping! Sù, sù, svegliati omai:, Up with you, wake up right now, Ché mentre dormi tu Since while you slumber Dormon le gioie mie, vegliano i guai. So do my joys, twhile my woes stay awake. Non esser, Amor, da poco! Cupid, don’t be so inept! Strali, strali, foco, Your arrows now, your fire, Strali, strali, sù, sù, Up with your arrows, Foco, foco, sù, sù! Up with your fire! O pigro, o tardo, O you lazy dawdler, Tu non hai senso, You make no sense, Amor melenso, Doltish Cupid Amor codardo! Cowardly Cupid! Ahi, quale io resto: Alas, I’m in such a state: Ché nel mio ardore Since, in the throes of my passion, Tu dorma, Amore: You slumber, Cupid: Mancava questo! Just what I didn’t need! 6. Passacalli della vita Anonymous O, come t’inganni È un sogno la vita, Non val medicina, Se pensi che gl’anni Che par sì gradita, Non giova la china, Non debban finire: È breve il gioire: Non si può guarire: Bisogna morire. Bisogna morire. Bisogna morire. Oh, how you deceive yourself Life is a dream, Medicine is of no avail, If you think that the years Which seems so pleasing Quinine is useless, shall not come to an end But joy is brief;. There is no cure; We all must die. We all must die. We all must die. Si more cantando, I giovan, i putti Se tu non vi pensi Si more sonando E gli uomini tutti Hai persi li sensi, La cetra o sampogna: S’han a finire: Sei mort’, e puoi dire: Morire bisogna. Bisogna morire. Bisogna morire. We die singing, Youths, children, If you give this no thought, We die playing All mankind You have lost your senses; The cittern or bagpipe; Will have their end; You are dead, and can say: We all must die. We all must die. We all must die. Si more danzando, I sani, gl’infermi, Bevendo, mangiando, I bravi, gl’inermi Con quella carogna Tutt’ han a finire: Morire bisogna. Bisogna morire. We die dancing, The healthy, the sick, Drinking, eating – The swashbuckling, the defenseless, With this carrion flesh all will have their end; We all must die. We all must die. 7. Toccata Michaelangelo Rossi 8. Piangono al pianger mio Sigismondo d’India Piangono al pianger mio le fère e i sassi, Wild beasts and rocks weep at my lamentation, A’ miei caldi sospir traggon sospiri. And give vent to sighs at my ardent sighing. L’aer d’intorno nubiloso fassi, The air roundabout becomes misty, Mosso anch’egli à pietà de’ miei martiri. Likewise moved to pity by my torments. Ovunque io poso, ovunque io volgo i passi Where’er I tread, where’er I turn my steps, Par che di me si pianga e si sospiri; It seems that tears and sighs come forth for me; Par che dica ciascun, mosso al mio duolo: It seems that each creature, moved by my pain, says, Che fai tu qui meschin, doglioso e solo? What do you here, wretch, sorrowful and solitary? —Ottavio Rinuccini 9. Nube gentil Francesca Caccini 10. Fan battaglia Luigi Rossi Fan battaglia i miei pensieri My thoughts wage war Ed al cor dan fiero assalto. And cruelly assault my heart. Un mi dice: “Invan tu speri, One says, ”In vain do you hope, Perchè Fili ha il sen di smalto”. For Phyllis’s bosom is hard as enamel.” Un poi con baldanza Then another, boldly, Il colpo ribatte Strikes another blow, E il cor mi combatte, And takes aim at my heart, Gridando: “Speranza!” Crying: “Hope!” “Sì, vincerà!” “Sì, perderà!” “Fuggi timor!” “Victory!” “Defeat!” “Away with you, fear!” “Fuggi, su!” “Taci, speranza!” “Tu non più, taci!” “Away, away!” “Be silent, hope!” “You! Enough, be silent!” “Tu ferma!” “Sì, vincerà!” “You stop!” “Yes, victory!” “Pensieri non più!” “Enough of these thoughts!” Così al core, empi guerrieri, Thus against my heart, like cruel warriors, Dan battaglia, fan guerra i miei pensieri. My thoughts do battle, wage war. 11. Amor non si fugge Barbara Strozzi Cara Filli, quella tu sei ch’adoro; Dear Filli, you are indeed the one I adore Per te sola, per te languisco e moro. For you alone do I languish and die. Ben vid’ io ch’un guardo adesca Well do I see that an enticing glance, Ch’allettando il seno adugge, By its allure, oppresses my bosom, Ma pur ardo e ’l cor si strugge: But yet I burn and my heart is undone, Ché non fugge d’amor chi seco tresca. For whoever dallies with love cannot flee it. Cara Filli quella tu sei ch’adoro; Dear Filli, you are indeed the one I adore, Per te sola, per te languisco e moro. For you alone do I languish and die. S’è il languir colpo d’amore If languishing is a stroke of love, Fuggirò s’amor m’assale, I shall flee, if love assails me, Ma ’l fuggir, ohimè, che vale? But alas, to flee what avails me? Non si scioglie dal piè laccio del core. My feet cannot loosen what binds my heart. Cara Filli, quella tu sei ch’adoro; Dear Filli, you are indeed the one I adore, Per te sola, per te languisco e moro. For you alone do I languish and die. 12. L’Eraclito amoroso (Udite amanti) Barbara Strozzi Udite amanti la cagione, oh Dio! Harken, lovers, to the reason, o God! Ch’a lagrimar mi porta: That leads me to tears: Nell’adorato e bello idolo mio, In my adored and beautiful beloved, Che sì fido credei, la fede è morta.

  • Bailarina De Ballet Con Tubo
    Bailarina de ballet con tubo Por Jacqueline Castillo El dolor de los tacones, plataforma de siete pulgadas, las nubes de laca, el brillo corporal, el dinero que vuela por todas partes, los hombres gritando y el olor del licor. Esto es lo que una aspirante de ballet profesional tiene que tolerar cada noche. Hablé con Destiny, quien pidió que sólo usemos su nombre artístico, sobre cómo se convirtió en una bailarina exótica, y cómo es que la industria del entretenimiento para adultos es realmente la razón por la que la gente no considera su trabajo respetable. Ha estado trabajando en la industria por más de cinco años, pero ha estado bailando durante toda su vida. Es una bailarina exótica por la noche y una estudiante de tiempo completo durante el día. Destiny tiene veinticuatro años y había empezado a bailar exótico cuando sólo tenía diecinueve, durante su primer año de universidad. Destiny siempre ha tenido pasión por el ballet, el hip–hop y el baile contemporáneo desde sus años en la preparatoria, en ese tiempo ella estaba decidida a asistir a la universidad y perseguir su sueño de convertirse en bailarina profesional. Sin el apoyo de su familia se fue sin dinero a Nueva York y asistió a su primera universidad para cumplir sus sueños. Los primeros meses fueron los momentos más difíciles de su vida, se cuestionó a sí misma si había tomado la decisión correcta de dejar su pequeña ciudad y mudarse tan lejos. Estaba batallando para alimentarse, pagar su renta y, lo más importante, para pagar su escuela.

Finding Their Voice: Women Musicians of Baroque Italy Faith Poynor emale musicians began to achieve greater freedom and indepen- dence from men during the Baroque period, and their music and Fcreative talent consequently began to flourish. Due to the rise in popularity of female vocal ensembles that resulted after the establishment of the con- certo delle donne in 1580, women composers in early modern Italy gained greater access to musical training previously only available to men or nuns. As seen by the works of composers and singers such as Francesca Caccini and Barbara Strozzi, this led to an unprecedented increase in women’s mu- sical productivity, particularly in vocal music. The rise of female vocal ensembles in the early Baroque period was a pivotal moment in women’s music history, as women finally achieved wide- spread recognition for their talents as musicians.

  • Aragón and Valencia
    ARAGÓN AND VALÈNCIA Aragón and València “The jota is at its best with the scent of rosemary and fresh-plowed earth,” says the opening song on this CD. An infectious collection of danced and sung jotas, archaic threshing songs, May courting songs, struck zither tunes, raucous shawms and lyrical strings, travelling down from the mountains of Aragón to the fertile coast of València. The Spanish Recordings Alan Lomax made these historic recordings in 1952 while traveling for months through Spanish villages, under formidable physical and political circumstances, during the Franco regime. Covering the breadth of Spain, these songs and dance melodies constitute a portrait of rural Spain’s richly varied musical life, dispelling the common stereotypes of Spanish folk music. The Alan Lomax Collection The Alan Lomax Collection gathers together the American, European, and Caribbean field recordings, world music compilations, and ballad operas of writer, folklorist, and ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax. Recorded in 1952 by Alan Lomax. Introductions and notes by Luis Bajén García and Mario Gros Herrero (Aragón), Archivo de Tradición Oral de Aragón (ATOA); and Josemi Sánchez Velasco (València), Consellería de Cultura, Educació i Ciència, Generalitat de València.

  • Prototype: Opera/Theatre/Now 2019 Lineup
    Sarah Baird Knight | 646.907.8062 | [email protected] PROTOTYPE: OPERA/THEATRE/NOW 2019 LINEUP ~ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SEPTEMBER 7, 2018 “The best news in opera in New York these days is the PROTOTYPE Festival…” – The Washington Post “The festival is one of the great things about being in New York City in January.” – Opera News PROTOTYPE: Opera/Theatre/Now has announced full programming for the seventh annual festival of fresh opera-theatre & music-theatre, running January 5-13, 2019 and featuring ten presentations that “shift the whole paradigm of what opera is and can be” (New York Observer). Founded by co-directors Kristin Marting (of HERE), Beth Morrison (of Beth Morrison Projects) and Kim Whitener (of HERE), and led by them along with co-director Jecca Barry (of Beth Morrison Projects), the PROTOTYPE Festival emphasizes the bold and prolific work coming from today’s creative talents across the spectrum of gender, age, sexual orientation, and ethnic background.
