SERAPHIC FIRE Led by Founder and Artistic Director Patrick Dupré Quigley, Seraphic Fire brings top ensemble singers and instrumentalists from around the country to perform repertoire ranging from Gregorian chant and Baroque masterpieces to Mahler and newly commissioned works by this country’s leading composers. Two of the ensemble’s recordings, Brahms: Ein Deutsches Requiem and A Seraphic Fire Christmas, were nominated for 2012 GRAMMY® Awards, making Seraphic Fire the only choral ensemble in North or South America to be nominated that year and the only classical ensemble in the world to be nominated for two separate projects. Seraphic Fire continues to put South Florida at the center of artistic innovation during its 2017 - 2018 Season through masterworks of cultural significance like Brahms’ timeless Liebeslieder Waltzes, as well as through high-quality under-performed music like David Lang’s the little match girl passion. Guest appearances include collaborations with Lorelei Ensemble Artistic Director Beth Willer and Boston’s Back Bay Chorale Music Director Scott Allen Jarrett. Recognized for its “spellbinding, hypnotic” sound (South Florida Classical Review), Seraphic Fire’s artistic accomplishments have also translated to orchestral collaborations with The Cleveland Orchestra and New World Symphony, and chart-topping album sales. The ensemble’s September 2014 release, Reincarnations: A Century of American Choral Music, soared to No.6 on the Billboard Traditional Classical Chart and the ensemble’s recording of Brahms: Ein Deutsches Requiem debuted at No.7 on the Billboard Traditional Classical Chart. 4 | SERAPHIC FIRE: 2017 - 2018 SEASON

Gelobt sei, der da kommt im Namen des Herrn! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosianna in der Höh’! Hosanna in the highest! Warum ist das Licht Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) Warum ist das Licht gegeben dem Mühseligen, Why has light been given to the weary of soul, und das Leben den betrübten Herzen? Warum? and life to the troubled hearts? Why? Die des Todes warten und kommt nicht They who wait for death, and it doesn’t come, und grüben ihn wohl aus dem verborgenen; they who dig for it even out of secret places; Die sich fast freuen und sind fröhlich, Those who almost rejoice and are happy, daß sie das Grab bekommen. Warum? that they achieve the grave. Why? Und dem Manne des Weg verborgen ist, And to the man whose way is hidden, und Gott vor ihm denselben bedecket? and from whom God himself has been concealed? Warum? Why? Lasset uns unser Herz samt den Händen aufheben Let us lift up our hearts, together with our hands, zu Gott im Himmel. to God in heaven. Siehe, wir preisen selig, Behold, we value them as blessed, die erduldet haben. those who have endured. Die Geduld Hiob habt ihr gehöret, You have heard of the patience of Job, Und das Ende des Herrn habt ihr gesehen; And the Lord’s conclusion you have seen; Denn der Herr ist barmherzig und ein Erbarmer!

Denn Jesus Christus, gottes Sohn, For Jesus Christ, God’s Son,
Der wird die Himmelstür auftun, Will open the gate of heaven,
Mich führen zum ewigen Leben. To lead me to eternal life.

Denn meine Augen haben deinen Heiland gesehen, For my eyes have seen your salvation,
welchen du bereitet hast which you have prepared
vor allen Völkern, before the face of all people,

In mir ist’s hell so wunderbar, Within me, it is also wonderfully bright, so voll und übervoll, so full and overflowing, und waltet drinnen frei und klar, and it prevails there free and clear, ganz ohne Leid und Groll. entirely without sorrow or complaint. Ich fass’ in meinem Herzenshaus I cannot contain within my heart Nicht all’ das reiche Licht, all of this rich light, es will hinaus, es muß hinaus, it wants to burst out, it must burst out, die letzte Schranke bricht. the last gate breaks.

In der Nacht Robert Schumann (1810-1856) Alle gingen, Herz, zur Ruh, Everyone has gone, heart, to their rest, alle schlafen, nur nicht du. everyone sleeps, but you.

In stiller Nacht Brahms
In stiller nacht, zur ersten Wacht, In the still of the night, at the first watch,
ein Stimm begunnt zu klagen, a voice began to cry,
der nächtge Wind hat süß und lind the nocturnal wind, softly and gently
zu mir den Klang getragen; brought the sound to me;
von herbem Leid und Traurigkeit through bitter sorrow and sadness
ist mir das Herz zerflossen, my heart melts away,
die Blümelein, mit Tränen rein the bluebells, my tears
hab ich sie all begossen. have watered them all.
Der schöne Mond will untergahn, The lovely moon will soon go down,
für Leid nicht mehr mag scheinen, and will not shine for grief,
die Sterne an ihr Glitzen stahn, the stars give up their light,
mit mir sie wollen weinen. and wish to cry with me.
Kein Vogelsang, noch Freudenlang Neither birdsong, nor joyous sound
man höret in den Lüften, is anywhere to be heard,
die wilden Tier traurn auch mit mir even the wild animals mourn with me,
in Steinen und in Klüften. amidst the rocks and gullies.
O schöne Nacht Brahms
O schöne Nacht! O lovely Night!
Am Himmel märchenhaft In the sky, magically,
Erglänzt der Mond in seiner ganzen Pracht; The moon shines in all its splendor;
Um ihn der kleinen Sterne liebliche Genossenschaft. Around it, the pleasant company of little stars.
Es schimmert hell der Tau am grünen Halm; The dew glistens brightly on the green stem;
Mit Macht in Fliederbusche schlägt die Nachtigall; In the lilac bush, the nightingale sings lustily;
Der Knabe schleicht zu seiner Liebsten sacht — The youth steals away quietly to his love —
O schöne Nacht! O lovely night!

And I know that I am loved. Schlimme, schlimme Reden flüstern Wicked, wicked rumor Eure Zungen schonungslos, Your tongues whisper mercilessly, Doch ich weiss es, sie sind lüstern But I know they are merely Nach unschuld’gem Blute bloss. Hungry for innocent blood. Nimmer soll es mich bekümmern, Never shall it worry me Schwatzt so viel es euch beliebt; Gossip as much as you want; Wer mich liebt, den lieb’ ich wieder, Whoever loves me, I love back, Und ich weiss, ich bin geliebt. And I know that I am loved. Zur Verleumdung sich verstehet nur, Slandering is the only thing that is understood, Wem Lieb’ und Gunst gebrach, By the one who missed out on love and affection, Weil’s ihm selber elend gehet Since he himself is so wretched Und ihn niemand minnt und mag. And no one woos and wants him. Darum denk’ ich, dass die Liebe, That’s why I think that love, Drum sie schmähn, mir Ehre giebt; Which they revile, gives me honor; Wer mich liebt, den lieb’ ich wieder, Whoever loves me, I love back, Und ich weiss, ich bin geliebt. And I know that I am loved. Wenn ich wär’ aus Stein und Eisen, If I were made of stone and iron, Möchtet ihr darauf bestehn, You might insist, Dass ich sollte von mir weisen That I should reject Liebesgruss und Liebesflehn. Lover’s greeting and lover’s plea. Doch mein Herzlein ist nun leider But my little heart is now unfortunately Weich, wie’s Gott uns Mädchen giebt, Tender, as God grants us maidens, Wer mich liebt, den lieb’ ich wieder, Whoever loves me, I love back, Und ich weiss, ich bin geliebt.

Liebeslieder Waltzer Brahms
i. Rede, Mädchen, allzu liebes
Rede, Mädchen, allzu liebes, Speak, maiden, whom I love all too much,
das mir in die Brust, die kühle, who hurled into my once aloof heart,
hat geschleudert mit dem Blicke with only one glance,
diese wilden Glutgefühle! these wild, ardent feelings!
Willst du nicht dein Herz erweichen, Will you not soften your heart?
willst du, eine Überfromme, Do you wish to be chaste,
rasten ohne traute Wonne, and remain without sweet bliss,
oder willst du, daß ich komme? or do you want me to come to you?
Rasten ohne traute Wonne, To remain without sweet bliss,
nicht so bitter will ich büßen. I would never make such a bitter penance.
Komme nur, du schwarzes Auge. So come, dark-eyes,
Komme, wenn die Sterne grüßen. come when the stars greet you.
ii. Am Gesteine rauschet die Flut
Am Gesteine rauscht die Flut, Against the stones, the stream rushes,
heftig angetrieben: powerfully driven:
wer da nicht zu seufzen weiß, those who do not know to sigh there,
lernt es unterm Lieben. will learn it when they fall in love.
iii. O die Frauen
O die Frauen, o die Frauen, O women, O women,
wie sie Wonne tauen! how they melt one with bliss!
Wäre lang ein Mönch geworden, I would have become a monk long ago,
wären nicht die Frauen! if it were not for women!
iv. Wie des Abends schöne Röte
Wie des Abends schöne Röte Like the evening’s lovely red,
möcht ich arme Dirne glühn, would I, a poor maiden, like to glow,
Einem, Einem zu gefallen, to please one boy,
sonder Ende Wonne sprühn. and to then radiate bliss forever.

Die junge, schöne Dirne, The young, fair maiden, so traurig ist ihr Sinn! so mournful are her thoughts! Du höre, grüne Ranke! You, listen, green vine! Was hebst du dich nicht himmelwärts? Why do you not raise yourself heavenwards? Du höre, schöne Dirne! You, listen, fair maiden! Was ist so schwer dein Herz? Why is your heart so heavy? Wie höbe sich die Ranke, How can the vine raise itself, der keine Stütze Kraft verleiht? when no support lends it strength? Wie wäre die Dirne fröhlich, How can the maiden be merry, wenn ihr das Liebste weit? when her sweetheart is far away? vi. Ein kleiner, hübscher Vogel Ein kleiner, hübscher Vogel A small, pretty bird nahm den Flug zum Garten hin, took flight into the garden, da gab es Obst genug. there was fruit enough there. Wenn ich ein hübscher, kleiner Vogel wär, If I were a pretty, small bird, ich säumte nicht, I would not hesitate, ich täte so wie der. I would do just as he did. Leimruten-Arglist lauert an dem Ort; Malicious lime-twigs lurked in that place; der arme Vogel konnte nicht mehr fort. the poor bird could not escape. Wenn ich ein hübscher, kleiner Vogel wär, If I were a pretty, small bird, ich säumte doch, I would have hesitated, ich täte nicht wie der. I would not have done that. Der Vogel kam in eine schöne Hand, The bird came into a pretty girl’s hand, da tat es ihm, and it caused him no pain, dem Glücklichen, nicht and. the lucky thing. Wenn ich ein hübscher, kleiner Vogel wär, If I were a pretty, small bird, ich säumte nicht, I would not hesitate, ich täte doch wie der.

durch eine Wand, ja, durch zehn Wände, through a wall, yes, through ten walls,
erkannte mich des Freundes Sehe; did my friend’s gaze recognize me;
doch jetzo, wehe, wenn ich dem Kalten, But now, oh woe, if I am with that cold boy,
auch noch so dicht vorm Auge stehe, no matter how close I stand before his eyes,
es merkt’s sein Auge, sein Herze nicht. neither his eyes nor his heart notices.
viii. Wenn so lind dein Auge mir
Wenn so lind dein Auge mir When your eyes look at me
und so lieblich schauet, so gently and lovingly,
jede letze Trübe flieht you chase away every last anxiety
welche mich umgrauet. that troubles my life.
Dieser Liebe schöne Glut, The lovely glow of this love,
laß sie nicht verstieben! do not let it disappear!
Nimmer wird, wie ich, so treu No one else will ever love you

da steht ein Haus, there stands a house,
da schaut ein rosiges and looking out of it

Das Mädchen, The maiden

Ein dunkeler Schacht ist Liebe, Love is a dark shaft,
ein gar zu gefährlicher Bronnen; a very dangerous well;
da fiel ich hinein, ich Armer, and I, poor man, fell in.
kann weder hören noch sehn, I can neither hear nor see,
nur denken an meine Wonnen, I can only think about my bliss,
nur stöhnen in meinen Wehn. I can only moan in my woe.

Nicht wandle, mein Licht, dort außen Do not wander, my light, out there
im Flurbereich! in the field!
Die Füße würden dir, die zarten, Your feet, your tender feet, would get
zu naß, zu weich. too wet, too soft.
All überströmt sind dort die Wege, All flooded are the paths there,
die Stege dir; and the bridges;
so überreichlich tränte dorten so amply there
das Auge mir. did my eyes weep.

Es bebet das Gesträuche; The bushes are trembling;
