ON THE LAKE
There's a beautiful lake where the sun lies low, And the skies are warm with their summer glow; And a beautiful picture there I see Where the winds are warm and the waves are free, And the waves lie still in the sun As the flowers at night, when the day is done. You may sing of your silvery seas by night When the moon looks down with a dreamy light; And the stars shine out in the skies above Like the warm sweet gaze of the eyes of love; But the glow on the lake to-day Is a glory that never will fade away. The beautiful lake is a sea of gold And the beauty it wears will never grow old; The trees bend down in the sun's warm glow Till their branches meet in the waves below, And the clouds in the far-off skies Are mirrored anew where the sunlight lies. I love to float where the shadows lie 'Neath the matchless glow of the summer sky; And I love to dream that these waves of light Will never fade in the gloomy night: But I know that the things I love Are as far from my reach as the clouds above. Oh, the beautiful lake is a sea of gold And the beauty it wears will never grow old; The cloudlets of Heaven are mirrored there In a golden splendor so bright and fair That the soul is dazzled for aye By the beautiful light of this summer's day. Oh, I love to dream when this life is o'er We shall moor our boats near the golden shore; And our sorrows shall drift from us far away As the leaves that float in their idle play, And the waves shall smile in the sun When the night is over and life is done.

Lyrics:

Master the tempest is raging! The billows are tossing high! The sky is o'ershadowed with blackness. No shelter or help is nigh. Carest thou not that we perish? How canst thou lie asleep when each moment so madly is threat'ning a grave in the angry deep?

Master with anguish of spirit I bow in my gried today. The depths of my sad heart are troubled. Oh, waken and save, I pray! Torrents of sin and of anguish sweep o'er my sinking soul, and I perish! I perish! dear Master. Oh hasten and take control!

Master, the terror is over, the elements sweetly rest. Earth's sun in the calm lake is mirrored, and heaven's within my breast. Linger, o blessed Redeemer! Leave me alone no more, and with joy I shall make the blest harbor and rest on the blissful shore.

The winds and the waves shall obey thy will: Peace, be still. Whether the wrath of the stormtossed sea or demons or men or whatever it be, no waters can swallow the ship where lies the Master of ocean and earth and skies. They all shall sweetly obey Thy will: Peace, be still. Peace, be still. They all shall sweetly obey Thy will: Peace, peace, be still.

Composed by Melissa Dunphy. Instrument part. 17 pages. E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital #8827-E. Published by E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital (MQ.8827-E).

English.

Commissioned by the Saint Louis Chamber Chorus and premiered October 6, 2019, at Masonic Prince Hall, St. Louis, Missouri, Artistic Director Philip Barnes. The peninsula at Gallipoli in Turkey is now marked with cemeteries; particularly striking are the graves of Australian and New Zealand infantry, which are marked with epitaphs provided by the families of the fallen. Five of these epitaphs have been included in the text for “Waves of Gallipoli,� along with lines from poet Leon Gellert, a Gallipoli veteran. In the music we can hear the undulating of the Aegean Sea lapping the coastline of Gallipoli, sad melismas complement the idea of “moaning;� following the epitaphs, a single voice sounds the bugle call, “The Last Post,� which is sounded at ANZAC (Australia and New Zealand Army Corp) Day dawn services each year, memorializing the soldiers who fell at Gallipoli.

SKU: A0.1314982

Composed by William Kersten. Classical,Opera,Romantic Period. Score. 23 pages. William Kersten #903730. Published by William Kersten (A0.1314982).

Inspired by the Victorian and Romantic poetry of Christina Rossetti, Anne Bronte, Thomas Hood and Thomas Beddoes, the Five songs form a cycle of joy, sadness, love, death and exultation.   The music is scored in two versions: Normal Vocal Range and Wide Vocal Range.

1. A Birthday 
Christina Rossetti (1830-1894) 

My heart is like a singing bird 
Whose nest is in a watered shoot; 
My heart is like an apple-tree 
Whose boughs are bent with thick-set fruit; 
My heart is like a rainbow shell 
That paddles in a halcyon sea; 
My heart is gladder than all these 
Because my love is come to me. 
Raise me a dais of silk and down; 
Hang it with vair and purple dyes; 
Carve it in doves and pomegranates, 
And peacocks with a hundred eyes; 
Work it in gold and silver grapes, 
In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lys; 
Because the birthday of my life 
Is come, my love is come to me. 

2. Echo 
Christina Rossetti

Come to me in the silence of the night; 
Come in the speaking silence of a dream; 
Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright 
As sunlight on a stream; 
Come back in tears, 
Oh memory, hope, love of finished years. 
Oh dream how sweet, too sweet, too bitter sweet, 
Whose wakening should have been in Paradise, 
Where souls brimfull of love abide and meet; 
Where thirsting longing eyes 
Watch the slow door 
That opening, letting in, lets out no more. 
Yet come to me in dreams, that I may live 
My very life again though cold in death - 
Come back to me in dreams, that I may give 
Pulse for pulse, breath for breath: 
Speak low, lean low, 
As long ago, my love, how long ago. 

3. There is dew...�
Thomas Hood (1799-1845)

There is dew for the flowret 
And honey for the bee, 
And bowers for the wild bird, 
And love for you and me. 
There are tears for the many 
And pleasures for the few; 
But let the world pass on, dear, 
There's love for me and you. 


4. We do lie beneath the grass...�
Thomas Beddoes (1803-1849) 

We do lie beneath the grass 
In the moonlight, in the shade 
Of the yew-tree. 
They that pass Hear us not. 
We are afraid 
They would envy our delight, in our graves by glow-worm night. 
Come follow us, and smile as we; 
We sail to the rock in the ancient waves, 
Where the snow falls by thousands into the sea, 
And the drowned and the shipwrecked have happy graves.  

5. My soul is awakened...� 
Anne Bronte (1820-1849)

My soul is awakened, my spirit is soaring 
And carried aloft on the wings of the breeze, 
For above and around me the wild wind is roaring 
Arousing to rapture the earth and the seas. 
The long withered grass in the sunshine is glancing, 
The bare trees are tossing their branches on high, 
The dead leaves beneath them are merrily dancing 
The white clouds are scudding across the blue sky. 
I wish I could see how the ocean is lashing 
The foam of its billows to whirlwinds of spray, 
I wish I could see how its proud waves are dashing, 
And hear the wild roar of their thunder today.
