WORK JR. (Weedun)A small brown ragged shadowy boy,A silhouette of fun!And a shadow as ragged and slim as himselfA dancing in the sunIt is hard to tell the shadows apartSo into each other they runAs dark and elusive they melt, and they mix and whirlAs they dance in the sunNo matter what falls to the rest of the worldNo matter what’s done or undone So the day be but idle and long enoughFor dancing in the sunFor dancing in the sunSeligkeitFRANZ SCHUBERT (Hölty)Freuden sonder ZahlBlühn im Himmelssaal[Engeln]1 und Verklärten,Wie die Väter lehrten.O da möcht ich sein,Und mich [freun, mich freun]2!Jedem lächelt trautEine Himmelsbraut;Harf und Psalter klinget,Und man tanzt und singet.O da möcht' ich sein,Und mich ewig freun!Lieber bleib' ich hier,Lächelt Laura mirEinen Blick, der saget,Daß ich [angeklaget]3.Selig dann mit ihr,Bleib' ich ewig hier!Joys without numberbloom in heaven's hallof angels and transfigured beings,just as our fathers taught us.O, there I would like to beand rejoice forever! Upon everyone dearly smilesa heavenly bride;harp and psalter resound,and everyone dances and sings.O, there I would like to beand rejoice forever!  But I'd rather remain here if Laura would smile at me with one glance that said I should end my lamenting. Blissfully then with her, I would stay here forever!Malurous qu’o uno fennoJOSEPH CANTELOUBE (Folksong)from Chants d’AuvergneMalurous qu'o uno fenno,Malurous qué n'o cat!Qué n'o cat n'en bou uno,Qué n'o uno n'en bou pas!Tradèra, ladèri dèrèroladèra, ladèri dèra.Urouzo lo fennoQu'o l'omé qué li cau!Urouz' inquèro maitoO quèlo qué n'o cat!Tradèra, ladèri dèrèroladèra, ladèri dèra.Unhappy he who has a wife,Unhappy he who has none!He who has none wants one,He who has one wants none!Happy is the womanWho has the man she needs!But she is still more happy,The one who hasn't any!L’amour est un oiseau rebelle (Habanera)GEORGES BIZET (Meilhac and Halévy)from Carmen L’amour est un oiseau rebelleQue nul ne peut apprivoiser,Et c’est bien en vain qu’on l’appelleS’il lui convient de refuser.Rien n’y fait, menace ou prièrel’un parle bien, l’autre se tait;et c’est l’autre que je préfère.Il n’a rien dit mais il me plait.L’amour! L’amour! L’amour! L’amour!L’amour est enfant de Bohême,Il n’a jamais jamais connu de loi.Si tu ne m’aimes pas, je t’aime.Si je t’aime, prends garde à toi!Si tu ne m’aimes pas, si tu ne m’aimes pas, je t’aime,Mais si je t’aime, si je t’aime, prends garde à toi!L'oiseau que tu croyais surprendrebattit de l'aile et s'envola.L'amour est loin, tu peux l'attendre;tu ne l'attends plus, il est là.Tout autour de toi, vite, vite,Il vient, s'en va, puis il revient.Tu crois le tenir, il t'évite,Tu crois l'éviter, il te tient!L’amour! L’amour! L’amour! L’amour!L’amour est enfant de Bohême,Il n’a jamais jamais connu de loi.Si tu ne m’aimes pas, je t’aime.Si je t’aime, prends garde à toi!Si tu ne m’aimes pas, si tu ne m’aimes pas, je t’aime,Mais si je t’aime, si je t’aime, prends garde à toi!Love is a rebellious birdthat nobody can tame,and you call him quite in vainif it suits him not to come.Nothing helps, neither threat nor prayer.One man talks well, the other's mum;it's the other one that I prefer.He's silent but I like his looks.Love! Love! Love! Love!Love is a gypsy's child,it has never, ever, known a law;love me not, then I love you;if I love you, you'd best beware! The bird you thought you had caughtbeat its wings and flew away ...love stays away, you wait and wait;when least expected, there it is!All around you, swift, so swift,it comes, it goes, and then returns ...you think you hold it fast, it fleesyou think you're free, it holds you fast.Love! Love! Love! Love!Love is a gypsy's child,it has never, ever, known a law;love me not, then I love you;if I love you, you'd best beware!Interim DirectorMichael AlexanderWoodwindsCecilia Price, FluteTodd Skitch, Flute Christina Smith, Flute Elizabeth Koch Tiscione, Oboe Dane Philipsen, Oboe John Warren, Clarinet Laura Najarian, Bassoon Sam Skelton, SaxophoneBrass and PercussionDoug Lindsey, TrumpetLester Walker, Jazz TrumpetJason Eklund, HornThomas Witte, HornTom Gibson, TromboneBrian Hecht, Bass Trombone Bernard Flythe, Tuba/EuphoniumMichael Moore, TubaJustin Chesarek, Jazz PercussionJohn Lawless, PercussionStringsHelen Kim, Violin Kenn Wagner, ViolinCatherine Lynn, Viola Allyson Fleck, Viola Charae Krueger, Cello Douglas Sommer, Double Bass Joseph McFadden, Double BassElisabeth Remy Johnson, Harp Mary Akerman, Classical GuitarTrey Wright, Jazz GuitarMarc Miller, Jazz BassEnsembles & ConductorsLeslie J.
