Those forgotten on the Banks of the Euphrates (aus: Songs of Love) - Valer Sabadus, Dima Orsho

“Songs of Love“ – Herny Purcell und Musik aus Arabien – ist ein Projekt von Danya Segal und ihrer Echo-preisgekrönten Barockformation Musica Alta Ripa. Bei “Songs of Love“ musizieren die Barockspezialisten mit dem Countertenor Valer Sabadus und der syrischen Sopranistin Dima Orsho. Those Forgotten on the Banks of the Euphrates The heart is haggard and discomforted by fatigue; Its secret shall remain burrowed deep within the conscience; never to be divulged. How appaling are these times! Yet we presevere their wickedness; And plead thaat God may bestow His benedictions upon us. O heart, you were louched by dreadful injustice, Neither as large as a city, nor as artful as a wizard, are you! Your brotherly friend has departed; He abandoned me to the night, and to the howling of the hyenas. Ancient orally transmitted poem from the Jazeera region in Syria
