Ode To The Muse (Senior) - PIANO backing

Lyrics:
I hear you
In the forest and the wind when it blows
Softly through the branches and
I hear you
In the water of the river that flows,
Always to ocean,
Nobody knows,
Nobody knows.

She’s whispered softly
Through the aspen leaves,
She waves her colours
In the Autumn breeze;
She’s closed-eyed listening
As she loves to do,
She’s the crystal’s quivering
In the winter’s blue.

In the evening light of summer,
And the gleaming dawn-light glow,
Such a delicate life of wonder:
In the swirl of the stream,
In the purl of the wave,
In the silvery sound of rain;
In the silence
Of the star.

I hear you
In the shiver of the leaf as it falls
Softly to the earth and
I hear you
In the flicker of the flame as it glows,
Nobody knows,
Nobody knows,
Nobody knows.

She’s whispered softly
In pastel skies,
She sings in colour;
I’m listening.

Composed by Giacomo Puccini. Arranged by Scott S. Stewart. 19th Century,A Cappella,Classical,Instructional,Opera. Octavo. 4 pages. Scott S. Stewart #847459. Published by Scott S. Stewart (A0.1253829).

“Quando me’n vo’�, or Musetta’s Waltz from Puccini’s masterpiece, La Bohème (1896) is probably one of the most recognizable operatic melodies ever written.  It is sung by Musetta at the Café Momus, who is hoping to get the attention of her occasional boyfriend Marcello.  The tune is masterfully reprised later by the entire cast.  This arrangement of the waltz is for 4-part SATB ensemble to be performed a cappella. This pièce de résistance was arranged thus to make ‘Opera’ accessible to wider audiences for various reasons (instructive, educational purposes; and performance familiarity to/for a larger population).  The original melody and harmonies are used.  It retains the original Italian text, making this arrangement an excellent tool for introducing ‘Opera’ music in the classroom, and programming diversity in the concert hall.  Performance time: 1:45+-.

This is a 21' work for a choir of 8/16 pro or undergraduate choristers, concerning an intimate dream experience that I participated in on the morning of Easter Day 2004. I found everything about how the poem itself came to me and subsequently the music absolutely fascinating. It flowed throu me as if I was merely a secretary who had been allowed to be present for some sublime dictation.

I have never believed in a work more than I do in this. When the time is right: the right people will appear to perform it.
