Led by Founder and Artistic Director Patrick Dupré Quigley, Seraphic Fire brings top ensemble singers and instrumentalists from around the country to perform repertoire ranging from Gregorian chant and Baroque masterpieces to Mahler and newly commissioned works by this country’s leading composers . Two of the ensemble’s recordings, Brahms: Ein Deutsches Requiem and A Seraphic Fire Christmas, were nominated for 2012 GRAMMY® Awards, making Seraphic Fire the only choral ensemble in North or South America to be nominated that year and the only classical ensemble in the world to be nominated for two separate projects .

Seraphic Fire continues to put South Florida at the center of artistic innovation during its 2017 - 2018 Season through masterworks of cultural significance like Brahms’ timeless Liebeslieder Waltzes, as well as through high-quality under-performed music like David Lang’s the little match girl passion . Guest appearances include collaborations with Lorelei Ensemble Artistic Director Beth Willer and Boston’s Back Bay Chorale Music Director Scott Allen Jarrett .

Recognized for its “spellbinding, hypnotic” sound (South Florida Classical Review), Seraphic Fire’s artistic accomplishments have also translated to orchestral collaborations with The Cleveland Orchestra and New World Symphony, and chart-topping album sales . The ensemble’s September 2014 release, Reincarnations: A Century of American Choral Music, soared to No .6 on the Billboard Traditional Classical Chart and the ensemble’s recording of Brahms: Ein Deutsches Requiem debuted at No .7 on the Billboard Traditional Classical Chart .

Scott Allen Jarrett is Director of Music at Boston University’s Marsh Chapel, Music Director of Back Bay Chorale, and Artistic Director of the Bach Akademie of Charlotte, North Carolina . Also in Boston, Jarrett is the Resident Conductor of the Handel and Haydn Society .

Jarrett is recognized as one of our nation’s leading educators and interpreters of the vocal works of Johann Sebastian Bach . A long-time collaborator with the Oregon Bach Festival (OBF), he is Director of the Vocal Fellows Program, and in 2017, conducted the festival’s opening performances of St. Matthew Passion — the only conductor other than Helmuth Rilling to have conducted that masterpiece at the Oregon Bach Festival since its founding . He returns to OBF in 2018 as the conductor of the Discovery Series, teaching two of Bach’s early Leipzig cantatas . In his various appointments, Jarrett will conduct

performances of Cantatas 179, 137, 95, 69a, 80, 140, 54, 182, 36, 147, several motets, Mass in B Minor, St. Matthew Passion, and St. John Passion during the 2017 - 2018 Season .

A regular collaborator with Seraphic Fire, Jarrett can be heard on Seraphic Fire’s albums Brahms: Ein Deutsches Requiem and Monteverdi’s Vespers of the Blessed Virgin, 1610 .

Proclaimed “extraordinary” (Gramophone), “authoritative” (Philadelphia Inquirer), “inspirational” (Chicago Sun-Times), and displaying “transformative brilliance” (New York Lucid Culture), Patrick Dupré Quigley has established himself as an exemplary conductor, creative programmer, and lauded arts entrepreneur whose skills as a musician transcend traditional genre boundaries .

Founder and Artistic Director of Seraphic Fire, Quigley receives rave reviews for his work with the music of contemporary American composers; is celebrated for his exacting, historically informed interpretations of Classical and Baroque repertoire; and was honored with a GRAMMY® Award nomination for his recording of Brahms’ Romantic masterpiece Ein Deutsches Requiem.

This season, Quigley takes the podium at The Cleveland Orchestra with Mozart, Utah Symphony with Haydn, and Seraphic Fire with masterworks of Bach, Monteverdi, Pärt, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning David Lang . In 2016 - 2017, Quigley appeared with San Francisco Symphony, The Cleveland Orchestra, and Grand Rapids Symphony . Previous guest conducting engagements include appearances with New World Symphony, Mobile Symphony, Naples Philharmonic, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, and San Antonio Symphony .

Quigley received his master’s degree in conducting from the Yale School of Music and his undergraduate degree in musicology from the University of Notre Dame .

Heilig, heilig ist Gott, der Herr Zebaoth!

Heilig, heilig, heilig ist Gott, der Herr Zebaoth!Alle Lande sind seiner Ehre voll.Hosianna in der Höh’!Gelobt sei, der da kommt im Namen des Herrn!Hosianna in der Höh’!

Warum ist das Licht

Warum ist das Licht gegeben dem Mühseligen, und das Leben den betrübten Herzen? Warum?Die des Todes warten und kommt nicht und grüben ihn wohl aus dem verborgenen;Die sich fast freuen und sind fröhlich, daß sie das Grab bekommen. Warum?Und dem Manne des Weg verborgen ist, und Gott vor ihm denselben bedecket? Warum?

Lasset uns unser Herz samt den Händen aufhebenzu Gott im Himmel.

Siehe, wir preisen selig, die erduldet haben.Die Geduld Hiob habt ihr gehöret, Und das Ende des Herrn habt ihr gesehen;Denn der Herr ist barmherzig und ein Erbarmer!

Mit Fried und Freud ich fahr dahin, in Gottes willen,getrost ist mir mein Herz und Sinn, sanft und stille.Wie Gott mir verheißen hat,der Tod ist mir Schlaf worden.

Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847)

Holy, holy, holy is God, the Lord Sabaoth!Every nation proclaims his glorious praise .Hosanna in the highest!Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!Hosanna in the highest!

Johannes Brahms (1833-1897)

Why has light been given to the weary of soul,and life to the troubled hearts? Why?They who wait for death, and it doesn’t come,they who dig for it even out of secret places;Those who almost rejoice and are happy,that they achieve the grave . Why?And to the man whose way is hidden,and from whom God himself has been concealed?Why?

Let us lift up our hearts, together with our hands,to God in heaven .

Behold, we value them as blessed,those who have endured .You have heard of the patience of Job, And the Lord’s conclusion you have seen;For the Lord is merciful and has compassion!

With peace and joy, I depart,in God’s will,My heart and mind are comforted,calm and quiet .As God had promised me,death has become my sleep .

TEXTS & TRANSLATIONS

B R A H M S : L I E B E S L I E D E R W A L T Z E S | 1 2

So fahr ich hin zu Jesu Christ

So fahr ich hin zu Jesu Christ,Mein Arm tu ich ausstrecken,So schlaf ich ein und ruhe fein,Kein Mensch kann mich aufwecken,Denn Jesus Christus, gottes Sohn,Der wird die Himmelstür auftun,Mich führen zum ewigen Leben.

Herr, nun lässest du deinen Diener

Herr, nun lässest du deinen Diener in Frieden fahren,wie du gesagt hast.Denn meine Augen haben deinen Heiland gesehen,welchen du bereitet hast vor allen Völkern,ein Licht zu erleuchten die Heiden, und zum Preis deines Volk Israel.

Ehre sei dem Vater und dem Sohn und dem Heiligen Geist, wie im Anfang, so auch jetzt, und alle Zeit, und in Ewigkeit. Amen.

Intermezzo

(Instrumental)

Heinrich Schütz (1585-1672)

So I go to Jesus Christ,My arm stretched out,So I fall asleep and rest gently,No one can awaken me,For Jesus Christ, God’s Son,Will open the gate of heaven,To lead me to eternal life .

Mendelssohn

Lord, now let your servant depart in peace,according to your word .For my eyes have seen your salvation,which you have preparedbefore the face of all people,to be a light to lighten the Gentiles,and to be the glory of thy people Israel .

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,and to the Holy Ghost,as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever will be,world without end . Amen .

Brahms

(Instrumental)


Nachthelle

Die Nacht ist heiter und ist rein,im allerhellsten Glanz,die Häuser schau’n verwundert drein,steh’n übersilbert ganz.

In mir ist’s hell so wunderbar,so voll und übervoll,und waltet drinnen frei und klar,ganz ohne Leid und Groll.

Ich fass’ in meinem HerzenshausNicht all’ das reiche Licht,es will hinaus, es muß hinaus,die letzte Schranke bricht.

Die Nachtigall

Die Nachtigall, sie war entferntder Frühling lockt sie wieder;was neues hat sie nicht gelernt,singt alte liebe Lieder.

In der Nacht

Alle gingen, Herz, zur Ruh,alle schlafen, nur nicht du.Denn der hoffnungslose Kummerscheucht von deinem Bett den Schlummer,und dein Sinnen schweift in stummer Sorgeseiner Liebe zu.

Franz Schubert (1797-1828)

The night is calm and pure,in brightest radiance,the houses look out with astonishment,standing shimmering with silver .

Within me, it is also wonderfully bright,so full and overflowing,and it prevails there free and clear,entirely without sorrow or complaint .

I cannot contain within my heartall of this rich light,it wants to burst out, it must burst out,the last gate breaks .

Mendelssohn

The nightingale had gone afar;Spring summons her back .She has learned nothing new;she sings the old beloved songs .

Robert Schumann (1810-1856)

Everyone has gone, heart, to their rest,everyone sleeps, but you .For affliction without hopemakes slumber stay away from your bed,and your thoughts stray in silent griefto their Love .

In stiller Nacht

In stiller nacht, zur ersten Wacht,ein Stimm begunnt zu klagen,der nächtge Wind hat süß und lindzu mir den Klang getragen;von herbem Leid und Traurigkeitist mir das Herz zerflossen,die Blümelein, mit Tränen reinhab ich sie all begossen.

Der schöne Mond will untergahn,für Leid nicht mehr mag scheinen,die Sterne an ihr Glitzen stahn,mit mir sie wollen weinen.Kein Vogelsang, noch Freudenlangman höret in den Lüften,die wilden Tier traurn auch mit mirin Steinen und in Klüften.

O schöne Nacht

O schöne Nacht!Am Himmel märchenhaftErglänzt der Mond in seiner ganzen Pracht;Um ihn der kleinen Sterne liebliche Genossenschaft.Es schimmert hell der Tau am grünen Halm;Mit Macht in Fliederbusche schlägt die Nachtigall;Der Knabe schleicht zu seiner Liebsten sacht —O schöne Nacht!

Brahms

In the still of the night, at the first watch,a voice began to cry,the nocturnal wind, softly and gentlybrought the sound to me;through bitter sorrow and sadnessmy heart melts away,the bluebells, my tearshave watered them all .

The lovely moon will soon go down,and will not shine for grief,the stars give up their light,and wish to cry with me .Neither birdsong, nor joyous soundis anywhere to be heard,even the wild animals mourn with me,amidst the rocks and gullies .

Brahms

O lovely Night!In the sky, magically,The moon shines in all its splendor;Around it, the pleasant company of little stars .The dew glistens brightly on the green stem;In the lilac bush, the nightingale sings lustily;The youth steals away quietly to his love —O lovely night!


Ich bin geliebt

Mögen alle bösen ZungenImmer sprechen, was beliebt:Wer mich liebt, den lieb’ ich wieder,Und ich weiss, ich bin geliebt.

Schlimme, schlimme Reden flüsternEure Zungen schonungslos,Doch ich weiss es, sie sind lüsternNach unschuld’gem Blute bloss.Nimmer soll es mich bekümmern,Schwatzt so viel es euch beliebt;Wer mich liebt, den lieb’ ich wieder,Und ich weiss, ich bin geliebt.

Zur Verleumdung sich verstehet nur,Wem Lieb’ und Gunst gebrach,Weil’s ihm selber elend gehetUnd ihn niemand minnt und mag.Darum denk’ ich, dass die Liebe,Drum sie schmähn, mir Ehre giebt;Wer mich liebt, den lieb’ ich wieder,Und ich weiss, ich bin geliebt.

Wenn ich wär’ aus Stein und Eisen,Möchtet ihr darauf bestehn,Dass ich sollte von mir weisenLiebesgruss und Liebesflehn.Doch mein Herzlein ist nun leiderWeich, wie’s Gott uns Mädchen giebt,Wer mich liebt, den lieb’ ich wieder,Und ich weiss, ich bin geliebt.

Schumann

Let all evil tonguesAlways say what they like:Whoever loves me, I love back,And I know that I am loved .

Wicked, wicked rumorYour tongues whisper mercilessly,But I know they are merelyHungry for innocent blood .Never shall it worry meGossip as much as you want;Whoever loves me, I love back,And I know that I am loved .

Slandering is the only thing that is understood,By the one who missed out on love and affection,Since he himself is so wretchedAnd no one woos and wants him .That’s why I think that love,Which they revile, gives me honor;Whoever loves me, I love back,And I know that I am loved .

If I were made of stone and iron,You might insist,That I should rejectLover’s greeting and lover’s plea .But my little heart is now unfortunatelyTender, as God grants us maidens,Whoever loves me, I love back,And I know that I am loved .

Liebeslieder Waltzer

i. Rede, Mädchen, allzu liebes

Rede, Mädchen, allzu liebes,das mir in die Brust, die kühle,hat geschleudert mit dem Blickediese wilden Glutgefühle!

Willst du nicht dein Herz erweichen,willst du, eine Überfromme,rasten ohne traute Wonne,oder willst du, daß ich komme?

Rasten ohne traute Wonne,nicht so bitter will ich büßen.Komme nur, du schwarzes Auge.Komme, wenn die Sterne grüßen.

ii. Am Gesteine rauschet die Flut

Am Gesteine rauscht die Flut,heftig angetrieben:wer da nicht zu seufzen weiß,lernt es unterm Lieben.

iii. O die Frauen

O die Frauen, o die Frauen,wie sie Wonne tauen!Wäre lang ein Mönch geworden,wären nicht die Frauen!

iv. Wie des Abends schöne Röte

Wie des Abends schöne Rötemöcht ich arme Dirne glühn,Einem, Einem zu gefallen,sonder Ende Wonne sprühn.

Brahms

Speak, maiden, whom I love all too much,who hurled into my once aloof heart,with only one glance,these wild, ardent feelings!

Will you not soften your heart?Do you wish to be chaste,and remain without sweet bliss,or do you want me to come to you?

To remain without sweet bliss,I would never make such a bitter penance .So come, dark-eyes,come when the stars greet you .

Against the stones, the stream rushes,powerfully driven:those who do not know to sigh there,will learn it when they fall in love .

O women, O women,how they melt one with bliss!I would have become a monk long ago,if it were not for women!

Like the evening’s lovely red,would I, a poor maiden, like to glow,to please one boy,and to then radiate bliss forever .

w


v. Die grüne Hopfenranke

Die grüne Hopfenranke,sie schlängelt auf der Erde hin.Die junge, schöne Dirne,so traurig ist ihr Sinn!

Du höre, grüne Ranke!Was hebst du dich nicht himmelwärts?Du höre, schöne Dirne!Was ist so schwer dein Herz?

Wie höbe sich die Ranke,der keine Stütze Kraft verleiht?Wie wäre die Dirne fröhlich,wenn ihr das Liebste weit?

vi. Ein kleiner, hübscher Vogel

Ein kleiner, hübscher Vogelnahm den Flug zum Garten hin,da gab es Obst genug.Wenn ich ein hübscher, kleiner Vogel wär,ich säumte nicht,ich täte so wie der.

Leimruten-Arglist lauert an dem Ort;der arme Vogel konnte nicht mehr fort.Wenn ich ein hübscher, kleiner Vogel wär,ich säumte doch,ich täte nicht wie der.

Der Vogel kam in eine schöne Hand,da tat es ihm,dem Glücklichen, nicht and.Wenn ich ein hübscher, kleiner Vogel wär,ich säumte nicht,ich täte doch wie der.

The green hops vine,it winds along the ground .The young, fair maiden,so mournful are her thoughts!

You, listen, green vine!Why do you not raise yourself heavenwards?You, listen, fair maiden!Why is your heart so heavy?

How can the vine raise itself,when no support lends it strength?How can the maiden be merry,when her sweetheart is far away?

A small, pretty birdtook flight into the garden,there was fruit enough there .If I were a pretty, small bird,I would not hesitate,I would do just as he did .

Malicious lime-twigs lurked in that place;the poor bird could not escape .If I were a pretty, small bird,I would have hesitated,I would not have done that .

The bird came into a pretty girl’s hand,and it caused him no pain,the lucky thing .If I were a pretty, small bird,I would not hesitate,I would do just as he did .



vii. Wohl schön bewandt

Wohl schön bewandt war es vorehemit meinem Leben, mit meiner Liebe;durch eine Wand, ja, durch zehn Wände,erkannte mich des Freundes Sehe;doch jetzo, wehe, wenn ich dem Kalten,auch noch so dicht vorm Auge stehe,es merkt’s sein Auge, sein Herze nicht.

viii. Wenn so lind dein Auge mir

Wenn so lind dein Auge mirund so lieblich schauet,jede letze Trübe fliehtwelche mich umgrauet.

Dieser Liebe schöne Glut,laß sie nicht verstieben!Nimmer wird, wie ich, so treudich ein Andrer lieben.

ix. Am Donaustrande

Am Donaustrande,da steht ein Haus,da schaut ein rosigesMädchen aus.

Das Mädchen,es ist wohl gut gehegt,zehn eiserne Riegelsind vor die Türe gelegt.

Zehn eiserne Riegeldas ist ein Spaß;die spreng ichals wären sie nur von Glas.

Quite fair and contented I previously waswith my life and with my sweetheart;through a wall, yes, through ten walls,did my friend’s gaze recognize me;But now, oh woe, if I am with that cold boy,no matter how close I stand before his eyes,neither his eyes nor his heart notices .

When your eyes look at meso gently and lovingly,you chase away every last anxietythat troubles my life .

The lovely glow of this love,do not let it disappear!No one else will ever love youas faithfully as I .

On the banks of the Danube,there stands a house,and looking out of it is a pink-cheeked maiden .

The maidenis very well-protected,ten iron boltshave been placed on the door .

But ten iron boltsare but a joke;I will snap themas if they were only glass .

w


x. O wie sanft die Quelle sich

O wie sanft die Quelle sichdurch die Wiese windet!O wie schön, wenn Liebe sichzu der Liebe findet!

xi. Nein, es ist nicht auszukommen

Nein, es ist nicht auszukommenmit den Leuten;Alles wissen sie so giftigauszudeuten.

Bin ich heiter,hegen soll ich lose Triebe;bin ich still, so heißts,ich wäre irr aus Liebe.

xii. Schlosser auf, und mache Schlösser

Schlosser auf, und mache Schlösser,Schlösser ohne Zahl;Denn die bösen Mäuler will ichschließen allzumal.

xiii. Vögelein durchrauscht die Luft

Vögelein durchrauscht die Luft,sucht nach einem Aste;und das Herz,ein Herz begehrts, wo es selig raste.

xiv. Sieh, wie ist die Welle klar

Sieh, wie ist die Welle klar,blickt der Mond hernieder!Die du meine Liebe bist,liebe du mich wieder!

O how gently the streamwinds through the meadow!O how lovely it is when Lovefinds Love!

No, there’s just no getting alongwith people;they always make such poisonousinterpretations of everything .

If I’m merry,they say I cherish loose urges;if I’m quiet,they say I am crazed with love .

Locksmith, get up and make your locks,locks without number;for I want to lock upall the evil mouths .

The little bird rushes through the air,searching for a branch;and my heart desires a heart,a heart, on which it can blessedly rest .

See how clear the waves arewhen the moon gazes down!You who are my love,you love me back!



xv. Nachtigall, sie singt so schön

Nachtigall, sie singt so schön,wenn die Sterne funkeln.Liebe mich, geliebtes Herz,küsse mich im Dunkeln!

xvi. Ein dunkeler Schacht ist Liebe

Ein dunkeler Schacht ist Liebe,ein gar zu gefährlicher Bronnen;da fiel ich hinein, ich Armer,kann weder hören noch sehn,nur denken an meine Wonnen,nur stöhnen in meinen Wehn.

xvii. Nicht wandle, mein Licht

Nicht wandle, mein Licht, dort außenim Flurbereich!Die Füße würden dir, die zarten,zu naß, zu weich.

All überströmt sind dort die Wege,die Stege dir;so überreichlich tränte dortendas Auge mir.

xviii. Es bebet das Gesträuche

Es bebet das Gesträuche;gestreift hat es im Flugeein Vögelein.In gleicher Art erbebetdie Seele mir, erschüttertvon Liebe, Lust und Leide,gedenkt sie dein.

The nightingale, it sings so beautifully,when the stars are twinkling .Love me, my beloved heart,kiss me in the dark!

Love is a dark shaft,a very dangerous well;and I, poor man, fell in .I can neither hear nor see,I can only think about my bliss,I can only moan in my woe .

Do not wander, my light, out therein the field!Your feet, your tender feet, would gettoo wet, too soft . All flooded are the paths there,and the bridges;so amply theredid my eyes weep .

The bushes are trembling;they were brushed bya little bird in flight .In the same waymy soul trembles, overcome by love, pleasure and sorrow,as it thinks of you .
