No 1, Sopra l’acqua indormenzada
Coi pensieri malinconici
No te star a tormentar:
Vien con mi, montemo in gondola,
Andaremo fora in mar.
Passaremo i porti e l’isole
Che circonda la cità:
El sol more senza nuvole
E la luna spuntarà.
Over the tranquil waters
Let not melancholy thoughts
distress you:
come with me, let us climb into our gondola
and make for the open sea.
We will go past harbours and islands
which surround the city,
and the sun will sink in a cloudless sky
and the moon will rise.
Oh! che festa, oh! che spetacolo,
Che presenta sta laguna,
Quando tuto xe silenzio,
Quando sluse in ciel la luna;
E spandendo i cavei morbidi
Sopra l’acqua indormenzada,
La se specie, la se cocola,
Come dona inamorada!
Oh what fun, oh what a sight
is the lagoon
when all is silent
and the moon climbs in the sky;
and spreading its soft hair
over the tranquil waters,
it admires its own reflection
like a woman in love.
Tira zo quel velo e scòndite,
Che la vedo comparir!
Se l’arriva a descoverzarte,
La se pol ingelosir!
Sta baveta, che te zogola
Fra i caveli imbovolai,
No xe turbia de la polvere
De le rode a dei cavai. Vien!
Draw your veil about you and hide,
for I see the moon appearing
and if it catches a glimpse of you
it will grow jealous!
This light breeze, playing
gently with your ruffled tresses,
bears no trace of the dust raised
by cartwheels and horses. Come!
Se in conchigli ai Greci Venere
Se sognava un altro di,
Forse visto i aveva in gondola
Una zogia come ti,
Ti xe bela, ti xe zovene,
Ti xe fresca come un fior;
Vien per tuti la so lagrime;
Ridiadesso e fa l’amor!
If in other days Venus
seemed to the Greeks to have risen from a shell,
perhaps it was because they had seen
a beauty like you in a gondola.
You are lovely, young
and fresh as a flower.
Tears will come soon enough,
so now is the time for laughter and for love.

No 2, La barcheta
La note è bela,
Fa presto, o Nineta,
Andemo in barcheta

A Toni g’ho dito
Ch’el felze el ne cave
Per goder sta bava
Che supia dal mar.
Ah!
The little boat
The night is beautiful.
Make haste, Nineta,
let us take to our boat
and enjoy the evening breeze.
I have asked Toni
to remove the canopy
so that we can feel the zephyr
blowing in from the sea;
Ah!
Che gusto contarsela
Soleti in laguna,
E al chiaro de luna
What bliss it is to exchange sweet nothings
alone on the lagoon,
and by moonlight
to be borne along in our boat!
You can lay aside
your fan, my dear,
for the breezes will vie with each other
to refresh you.
Ah!
Se gh’è tra de lori
Chi tropo indiscreto
Volesse dal pèto
EI velo strapar,
No bada a ste frotole,
Soleti za semo
E Toni el so’ remo,
Lè a tento a menar.
Ah!
If among them
there should be one so indiscreet
as to try to lift the veil
shielding your breast,
pay no heed to its nonsense,
for we are all alone
and Toni is much too intent
on plying his oar,
Ah!

Sentirse a vogar!

No corè, puti, smaniosi tanto
Drio quel incanto
Che Nana g’ha
Xe tuto amabile

La xe una stela
Cascade qua
Ma … ma … la Nana cocola
G’ha el cuor tigrà.
The warning
Do not rush so eagerly, lads,
after the charms
of the lovely Nana.
All is enchantment
in her, I grant you;
she is like a star
fallen to earth,
but … but … that lovely Nana
has the heart of a tiger!
L’ocio xe vivo
Color del cielo,
Oro el cavelo
Balsamo el fià;
Ghe sponta in viso
Do’ rose intate.
Invidia al late
Quel sen ghe fa
Ma …
Her eye is lively
and heavenly blue;
her hair is spun gold
and her breath a balm;
roses glow
in her cheeks,
her breasts are whiter
than milk,
but …
Ogni ochiadina
Che la ve daga,
Da qualche piaga
Voda no va!
Col so’ granelo
De furbaria
La cortesia
Missiar la sa …
Ma …
Every glance
she darts at you
carries its own
sweet poison!
Nor is guile
ever absent
from her
gentle manner
but …

No 4, La biondina in gondoleta
La biondina in gondoleta
L’altra sera g’ho menà:
Dal piacer la povereta,
La s’ha in bota indormenzà.
La dormiva su sto brazzo,
Mi ogni tanto la svegiava,
Ma la barca che ninava
La tornava a indormenzar.
The blonde girl in the gondola
The other night I took
my blonde out in the gondola:
her pleasure was such
that she instantly fell asleep.
She slept in my arms
and I woke her from time to time,
but the rocking of the boat
soon lulled her to sleep again.
Gera in cielo mezza sconta
Fra le nuvole la luna,
Gera in calma la laguna,
Gera il vento bonazzà.
Una sola bavesela
Sventola va i so’ caveli,
E faceva che dai veli
Sconto el sento fusse più.
The moon peeped out
from behind the clouds;
the lagoon lay becalmed.
the wind was drowsy.
Just the suspicion of a breeze
gently played with her hair
and lifted the veils
which shrouded her breast.
Contemplando fisso fisso
Le fatezze del mio ben,
Quel viseto cussi slisso.
Quela boca a quel bel sen;
Me sentiva drento in peto
Una smania, un missiamento,
Una spezie de contento
Che no so come spiegar!
As I gazed intently
at my love’s features,
her little face so smooth,
that mouth, and that lovely breast;
I felt in my heart
a longing, a desire,
a kind of bliss
which I cannot describe!
M’ho stufà po’, finalmente,
De sto tanto so’ dormir,
E g’ho fato da insolente,
No m’ho avuto da pentir;
Perchè, oh Dio, che bele cosse
Che g’ho dito, a che g’ho fato!
No, mai più tanto beato
Ai mii zorni no son stà.
But at last I had enough
of her long slumbers
and so I acted cheekily,
nor did I have to repent it;
for, God what wonderful things
I said, what lovely things I did!
Never again was I to be so happy
in all my life!

No 5, Che pecà!
Te recordistu, Nina, quei ani
Che ti geri el mio solo pensier?
Che tormento, che rabie, che afani!
Mai un’ora de vero piacer!
Per fortuna quel tempo xe andà.
Che pecà!
What a shame!
Do you remember those years, Nina,
when you were my one and only thought?
What torment, what rage, what anguish!
Never an hour of untroubled joy!
Luckily that time is gone.
But what a shame!
Ne vedeva che per i to’ oci,
No g’aveva altro ben che el to’ ben …
Che schempiezzi! che gusti batoci,
Oh, ma adesso so tor quel che vien;
No me scaldo po’ tanto el figà.
Che pecà!
I saw only through your eyes;
I knew no happiness but in you …
What foolishness, what silly behaviour;
oh, but now I take all as it comes
and no longer get agitated.
But what a shame!
Ti xe bela, me pur fi xe dona,
Qualche neo lo conosso anca in ti;
You are lovely, and yet you are woman,
no longer perfection incarnate;
when your smile is bestowed on another,
I too can find solace elsewhere.
Blessed be one’s own freedom!
But what a shame!
Te voi ben, ma no filo caligo,
Me ne indormo de tanta virtù.
Magno a bevo, so star co’ l’amigo
E me ingrasse ogni zorno de più.
Son un omo che sa quel che ’l fa …
Che pecà!
I still love you, but without all that torment,
and am weary of all that virtue.
I eat, drink, and enjoy my friends,
and grow fatter with every day.
I am a man who knows what he’s about …
But what a shame!
Care gondole de la laguna
Voghè pur, che ve lasso vogar!
Quando in cielo vien fora la luna,
Vago in leto a me meto a ronfar,
Senza gnanca pensarghe al passà!
Che pecà!
Lovely gondolas on the lagoon
row past, I’ll hold you back!
When the moon appears in the sky
I’ll take to my bed and snore
without a thought for the past!
But what a shame!

The snow has melted,

Friends, be of good cheer,
Spring is here!
I know it by that cloud …
Hark, hark to the thunder!
Oh, how the thought
delights my heart,
the dreary cold
is now forgotten!
Ancora un meseto,
E el rusignoleto,
Col canto, ne sgiozzolo,
Sul’anima el miel.
Stagion deliziosa!
Ti vien cola rosa,
Ti parti col giglio,

Just one more month
and the nightingale’s song
will pour its honey
on my soul.
Oh delightful season,
you arrive bearing roses
and depart with the lilies,
flowers worthy of heaven!

Camille Claudel: Into the Fire
No 1, Rodin
Last night, I went to sleep completely naked.
I pretended you were holding me
But I woke alone again
Everything burned away
In the cruel morning light.
Was I dreaming that you loved me
Though you left me far behind?
Someone’s there
Hidden in the shadows
You don’t want me to see
You don’t want me to find
In the clay
I search with my fingers
To uncover something true
Rodin! Rodin!
Was there ever a time
You wanted me to find you?
There’s a secret I have traced
In your eyes, your brow, your hair.
Others think they see you
But, we both know, you’re not there.
In the clay
I search with my fingers
To uncover something true
Rodin! Rodin!
Was there ever a time
You wanted me to find you?

Rodin?
Rodin?
No 2, La valse
The light of day will fade
And shadows will descend
No breath can last forever
No heartbreak truly mend
Again, again …
Console my eyes with beauty
Allow me to forget
That every dance of love
Is mingled with regret
Take me
One step closer
One step back
One step spins
One step hovers
Take me!
Take me to the place for
unrepentant lovers!
Is it in the spirit?
Is it in the flesh?
Where do I abide?
Console
Oh, console my eyes with beauty
Allow me to forget
That every dance of love
Is mingled with regret …

No 3, Shakuntala
No 4, La petite châtelaine
‘Shakuntala! Shakuntala!’
Hello, my little one,
La petite châtelaine
He called my name in a whisper
He called my name in a cry
Before I was a mother
Before I met the king
Before he made his promise
Before I wore his ring
Before I was forgotten
Abandoned and ignored
Before I was denied
All that I adored
I did not know who I was.
‘Shakuntala! Shakuntala!’
After he had learned the truth
After all his tears
Begging my forgiveness
After wasting many years
Wishing to reclaim me
Kneeling at my feet
He reaches to embrace me
Will the circle again be complete?
I lean and let him hold me
His lips familiar yet estranged
I forgive him utterly
But in doing so have I changed?
Do you know who I am?
Do you know who I am?
They say I leave at night
By the window of my tower
Hanging from a red umbrella
With which I set fire to the forest
Hello, my little one,
La petite châtelaine
Do you know who I am?
Or the land you come from?
Where the earth is stained …
I did as he said and returned you to clay.
Oh, how could I bleed such a blessing away?
Now I’m forever alone
With my children of stone.
La petite châtelaine
Can you hear my voice?
The voice of your mother?
‘Shakuntala! Shakuntala!’

I hear your whispers
Your cries
Oh, I want to take you back, my love,
But who I was has died!

So many ideas, the earth quakes!

Camille Claudel, Montdevergues Asylum, 1929
Thank you for coming. I thought
everyone had forgotten.
Thank you for remembering me.
People at a table listen to a prayer.
Three men on a high cart laugh and go to mass.
A woman crouches on a bench
and cries all alone.
What does she know?
Does she know three people sit
behind a screen and whisper?
What is the secret suspended in the air?
I know.
I know.
Four children? Beautiful … beautiful …
Off to Italy? Beautiful … beautiful …
You will have wonderful things to eat there.
Here they are trying to poison me. (I see
that they don’t. I cook for myself.)
Thank you for remembering me.
The halo rusts.
The light is dim.
Into the fire!
Is it him?
Is it him?
Is it him?
Do you remember our studio in
Paris? Everything moving.
Two young women, so many
ideas. Look at me now!
Oh, Jessie … Every dream I ever
had was of movement.
Touching. Breathing. Reaching. Hovering.
Something always about to change …
A photograph? Just me and you. Yes.
I understand. I must be very still.
Thank you for remembering me.

‘Chamber Music Society Two’ – a programme
designed for outstanding emerging artists and
chamber musicians.
Kurtág, Milton Babbitt, Chou Wen-Chung,
Charles Wuorinen, Bruce Adolphe, Steven
Mackey, Jake Heggie and Jonathan Dawe. To
commemorate its 10th anniversary, the quartet
commissioned 10 composers to write a piece
inspired by and to be interwoven with excerpts
from Bach’s The Art of Fugue.
The quartet has also worked with the
Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Mark Strand,
commissioning poetry from him to accompany
pieces by Haydn and Webern. For a project
entitled Fragments the musicians combined
incomplete works by composers such as
Mozart, Schubert, Bach and Shostakovich
with contemporary compositions by Sofia
Gubaidulina and Bruce Adolphe.
The Brentano Quartet’s recordings include
works by Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn and
Steven Mackey. The quartet also performed
