Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from St. Francis of Assisi Oratorio Soft o´er Assisi falls the twilight hue of evening. The dome of azure blue, the wide expanse of heaven Is all aglow with stars; fair sails the silent moon. And slowly, one by one, the glitt´ring lights appear. The gentle breezes waft us sweet and fragrant odors. His Highness holds high feast. See there through open portals Fair damsels stand and wait, all glowing in the light Of torches rosy red. Yet lacking is one still Amid the youthful troop that, singing, now advances, The wonder of the age, the poet idolized, ´Tis Francis! Lo! in the moonbeam´s silv´ry light, Hither comes our Francis now! He comes with his lute Like a king in his pride, To the triumphing group. Hark! they are here! (While singing the guests enter the castle.) Youths: Life is fair and life is easy Here upon our golden path, Where into the azure heaven, Lightly wings the soul its flight. Knights: Hence! hence! with all gathering trouble! And let us in innocent glee Drink deep of the river of pleasure! The longing of youth is for mirth!
