Born in Munich in 1897, Ben-Haim had a very impressive career as a pianist, conductor and composer. He moved to Tel-Aviv in 1933, and soon became a leading figure in the musical life of Palestine and the State of Israel (from 1948). Ben-Haim regarded his work as part of a wide-spread effort to synthesize Eastern and Western traditions. read more - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Ben-Haim La rosa enflorese en el mez de May, Mi alma s'escurese sufriendo del amor. Los bilbilicos cantan sospiran del amor, Y la pasión me mata muchigua mi dolor. Más presto ven Palomba más presto ven a mí, Más presto tú mi alma que yo me vo morir. The roses bloom in the month of May, But my soul's full of gloom suffering in love. The nightingales sing and are sighing in love, The passion will kill me, multiply my pain. Come faster, oh dove, come faster to me, Come faster, my soul, because I shall die. ...    less

Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree, If mankind perished utterly; And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn Would scarcely know that we were gone. Sara Teasdale (1884 - 1933)  less

Our aim was to capture a serious English Boys Choir poise while making the most of the poems playful spookiness, so we elicited help from the men of the chorus to try and 'frighten' the women singing.

From the French, Hispanic and English ships, I landed in the Americas, the unfamiliar land. This is Haiti, this is my story. I come from Africa with my strong religion, With banbous, drums, with all my soul. Right when I debarked, the villains muted me. They swore a thousand times they would convert me. They did all they could to make me lose my mind, To forget my ancestors who are still in Africa. Thus I cut the chords with words of Liberty, Words of Equality, words of Dignity. I spent three hundred years under the chains of slavery; Night and day I struggled with work, Carrying loads on my head, loads on my shoulders, For others to rejoice in the metropolitan lands.
