Instrumental Duo based on my setting of Marie Keyser's Poem La Tour de Hölderlin Elle est près du fleuve dormeur debout mais le saule incliné toucherait de sa cîme l'eau L'église vieille dit les heures de l'île où la nuit descend Je la vois encore son toit de gris dans le gris de l'eau. pressens dans la tour de bois ma demeure la folie la folie le silence clos clos vigilance Oh Ne pas altérer ce qui reste qui reste, et le doit. Was bleibt aber stiften die Dichter. (It stands by the sleepy river But the bending willow would touch the water with its very top The church - an old church - tells the hours from the island where the night descends I can still see it, its grey roof in the grey of the water I have a presentiment in the tower of wood, of my dwelling place, of madness, of silence Closed in, closed in but keeping watch Oh never change what remains and should remain Was bleibt aber stiften die Dichter.....) [What remains, however, is the stuff of poetry This quote from Hölderlin himself is reflected in the second cello at bars 43 to 45] Performed by Ölveti Mátyás and Mády-Szabó Eszter of Budapest Scoring Cellos.
