Du bist die Ruh<\/i> was written in tribute to Bruce Carlson, the long-time Executive Director of The Schubert Club<\/a>. I\u2014along with Stephen Paulus<\/a>, Libby Larsen<\/a> and Randall Davidson<\/a>\u2014contributed a song to a little garland which was sung at Bruce\u2019s thirty-year celebration. Our \u201cassignment\u201d was to set a text set by Schubert. I chose R\u00fcckert\u2019s \u201cDu bist die Ruh<\/a>,\u201d but didn\u2019t want to set the German, so I made a loose translation, retained Schubert\u2019s key, first note, and meter, and started fresh with everything else. Maria Jette and Sonja Thompson performed the set. The song has become part of the cycle An Academy of Ancient Music<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [dflip id=\"4066\" type=\"thumb\" ]<\/span><\/p>\n[audio mp3=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/06-Du-bist-die-Ruh-mp3.mp3\"][\/audio]\n Patricia Kent, soprano You are harmony and rest.

\nRobert Koopmann, piano<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nText<\/h4>\n
\nYou are yearning and its cadence.
\nI dedicate to you, as to a sacred place,
\nfull of pain and joy, my eyes and heart.
\nTurn to me now and quietly close the doors behind you.
\nDrive other sorrows far away:
\nMay my heart fill with delight in you.
\nThis vaulted dome with your light voice alone is filled,
\nOh let it ring, let it ring.<\/p>\n
