2008 Till Sjöss - Chalmers Kammarkör - 06 - April is in My Mistress Face

   Posted by: clarezoe    in Choir

Today, it comes to the English songs. The concert are coming into the LOVE part. There are three English songs, “April is in My Mistress Face”"Fair Phiyllis”"Mother I Will Have A Husband”,then was a solo song “A Bay in Anglesey”, a song by four girls “Att Angora En Brygga”, then a song written by a muscian in our choir “Serenad för Två”

This song I will post today, “April is in My Mistress Face” was written by Thomas Morley and published in the year 1594. There are 8 versions of this song already in CPDL.ORG.

Here’s a piece of news: there will be a concert to celebrate 600 years of choirs in Shanghai. You can go and listen if you are intereted. The second song of the concert is “April is in My Mistress Face”.

The lyrics are very simple please listen:

April is in my mistress’ face,
And July in her eyes hath place;
Within her bosom is September,
But in her heart a cold December.

2008 Till Sjöss - Chalmers Kammarkör - 03 - Vattendrag

   Posted by: clarezoe    in Choir, Days

Here’s the 3rd song in this concert.

vatten means water in English, and drag means stream. I can’t understand much about the lyrics, something like fish boat, water and something. Sorry for that.

All 4 singers are Tenors, there’s a girl if you can tell. Her voice is too low, so it’s better and easier for her to sing Tenor. This is first time I’ve heard about that, at least before I came to Sweden. Everyone knows girls should dress beautifully but she can’t, she has to dress as the men’s do. Anyway, we just love it, no need to care about that.

It might be so anoying of the ‘numa numa’ thing, but it’s the style of humor, it works just fine with the melody and lyrics. So it deserves the audiances’ applause.

Please enjoy…

2008 Till Sjöss - Chalmers Kammarkör - 01 - Hoist the Colors

   Posted by: clarezoe    in Choir, Days

From now on I’ll upload records of Chalmers Chamber Choir 2008 spring consert
Chalmers Chamber Choir 2008 spring consert. This concert is themed on “Let’s sail on the sea!
“,all the songs are about the sea, pirates, love and so on.

The concert started from “Hoist the Colors” which was from the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End”. That little boy started the song at the beginning of the movie. Come back to our choir version, the first base and soprano have the melody. The song starts from the first base’s solo, and then the second base and tenor came in, and then came soprano and alto, finally vanished by the solo of the first base.

Now please enjoy the song… (I sang in the second soprano.^_^)

Lyrics:
Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the colors high.
Heave ho,
thieves and beggars,
never shall we die.

The king and his men
stole the queen from her bed
and bound her in her Bones.
The seas be ours
and by the powers
where we will we’ll roam.

Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the colors high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never say we die.

Some men have died
and some are alive
and others sail on the sea
with the keys to the cage…
and the Devil to pay
we lay to Fiddler’s Green!

The bell has been raised
from it’s watery grave…
Do you hear it’s sepulchral tone?
We are a call to all,
pay head the squall
and turn your sail toward home!

Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the colors high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never say we die.
