David Rain: "Good King Wenceslas" (sung by Matthew Curtis)
This brand new version of Good King Wenceslas is dedicated to my uncle Duncan Shaw of Vancouver. His "retirement project" - developing his own theory of gravity - has been a huge inspiration in my own compositional journey late in life.

Some background:
I have sung the traditional version of Good King Wenceslas since I was a kid. I fell in love with the lyrics and the story, but have always been puzzled by the way it was arranged, in particular the way that the "las" of Wenceslas lands on the downbeat. When I was young, I thought the lyrics were actually "Good King Wences last looked out!"
All to say that I got inspired to create a totally different version. I used the 19th century poem by John Mason Neale, but I wanted to create a different "feel" to the story, to take it back in time to its origins in the Middle Ages - hence the medieval feel to much of the piece.
I also felt that since the Wenceslas story is all about a journey, a setting in 3/4 time would create a better sense of that feeling, ra... less

Référence : Vittoria Aleotti. Cor mio perche pur piangi. Première édition : dans Ghirlanda de madrigali, no. 6, 1593. Adaptation pour SSAA par Agnès Blin (2019).
Cette pièce interroge l’origine de la douleur et des larmes.
Paroles :
Cor mio, perchè pur piangi,
A che ti struggi,
Se alla tua pena inusitata e nuova
Rimedio non si trova?
Io piango che il mio pianto
Non è sì duro, sì pungente e forte
Che mentre io piango tanto
Non faccia ai miei martir pietosa
morte.
Poco sarìa la doglia
Se ad ogni suo desire
L’uom potesse morire
Ma ve’l sostiene in vita e in questa spoglia
Acciò più lungo sia nostro languire. less

Text:
there will be rest, and sure stars shining
Over the roof-tops crowned with snow,
A reign of rest, serene forgetting,
the music of stillness holy and low.
I will make this world of my devising,
Out of a dream in my lonely mind,
I shall find the crystal of peace,--above me
Stars I shall find. less
