Work introduction
Settings of two anon. 8th century Chinese poems. Score for soprano and the instrumentation of the Debussy Sonata: flute, viola, and harp.
My lord is full of delight
In his left hand
He holds a flute
Oh what sweet joy.
My lord is full of blessings,
In his left hand
He holds dancing plumes
With his right hand he summons me
Oh what sweet joy.
The white moon is rising
O lady so lovely and bright
Why am I enchanted
Why am I so consumed with grief.
The White moon rising
Is like the splendor of my lady
Why am I caught in these chains.
The moon rising in splendor
is the light of my love
Why am I forsaken
Why am I consumed with this grief.
