Sunlit days at Hogwarts
Tumblr media
Partly inspired by this moving choral piece, A Boy and a Girl, by Eric Whitacre.
Lyrics:
Stretched out on the grass,
A boy and a girl.
Savoring their oranges,
Giving their kisses like waves exchanging foam.
Stretched out on the beach,
A boy and a girl.
Savoring their limes,
Giving their kisses like clouds exchanging foam.
Stretched out underground,
A boy and a girl.
Saying nothing, never kissing,
Giving silence for silence.

Does Eric Whitacre still have the same chokehold on today’s high school choir that he did in the mid 2000s?

Child of Wonder
Child of wonder Child of sky Time to end your voyage Time to die. Silent slumber calls you Dark and deep Child of soft surrender Child of sleep.
—————
Child of sorrow Child of rain There is no tomorrow No more pain. Turn your silvered sail Toward the light Child of mourning Child of night.
—————
Child of iridescence Child of dream Stars and moons will guide you Down the stream. Stretched on ocean waves Of endless foam Welcome home my child Welcome home.
— Eric Whitacre, The Sacred Veil (choral masterpiece)

"Oh! hush thee, my baby, the night is behind us, And black are the waters that sparkled so green. The moon, o'er the combers, looks downward to find us At rest in the hollows that rustle between. Where billow meets billow, there soft be thy pillow; Ah, weary wee flipperling, curl at thy ease! The storm shall not wake thee, nor shark overtake thee, Asleep in the arms of the slow-swinging seas."

Invencions bastardes del Renaixement toscà: Leonardo dreams of his flying machine
Constel·lacions Bastardes 3 de 21
Tormented by visions of flight and falling, More wondrous and terrible each than the last, Master Leonardo imagines an engine To carry a man up into the sun...
And as he's dreaming the heavens call him, "Leonardo. Leonardo, vieni á volare". ("Leonardo. Leonardo, come fly".)
L'uomo colle sua congiegniate e grandi ale, Facciendo forza contro alla resistente aria.
(A man with wings large enough and duly connected Might learn to overcome the resistance of the air.)
II. Leonardo Dreams of his Flying Machine...
As the candles burn low he paces and writes, Releasing purchased pigeons one by one Into the golden Tuscan sunrise...
And as he dreams, again the calling, The very air itself gives voice: "Leonardo. Leonardo, vieni á volare". ("Leonardo. Leonardo, come fly".)
Vicina all'elemento del fuoco...
Scratching quill on crumpled paper,
Rete, canna, filo, carta.
Images of wing and frame and fabric fastened tightly.
...sulla suprema sottile aria.
III. Master Leonardo Da Vinci Dreams of his Flying Machine... As the midnight watchtower tolls, Over rooftop, street and dome, The triumph of a human being ascending In the dreaming of a mortal man.
Leonardo steels himself, Takes one last breath, And leaps...
- poesia de Charles Anthony Silvestri
youtube
Aquesta onírica poesia de Charles Anthony Silvestri va ser musicada pel compositor Eric Whitacre (Nevada, 1970). El text, en anglès i italià, ens apropa a l'obsessió de da Vinci sobre la construcció d'una màquina voladora. Com una versió moderna d'Ícar, Leonardo idea un motor meravellós per elevar l'ésser humà envers el Sol. Entre somnis, el Cel el crida "Leonardo. Leonardo vieni à volare". Ell dibuixa, escriu, prototipa ales i màquines voladores fins que, dins la nit, decideix llençar-se al buit...
