The Times They Are A-Changin’
Staff 1 is the solo line. Staff 2 is women—because of the 3-part split, you can only isolate it so far. Staff 3 is men. 4 & 5 are piano. The way this is scored, there are a few glitches with ties and unison notes. Pay attention.

It's possible to over-process a performance.
It's possible to over-enunciate.

Songbird -there are a few glitches, mostly with playing tied notes
S1
--Because of the way this is written out, I had to get creative to in order to get all the parts. There might be volume jumps. Be aware that at m.57 you are crossing both of the other parts, ending up lower than everyone. At 69 something sounds weird, but I think it's in the lower parts. There are also a few gaps through out where there's no sound.

Three Madrigals

O Mistress Mine is an Elizabethan song which appears in Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night. It is sung by the character Feste, who is asked to sing a love song by Sir Andrew Aguecheek and Sir Toby Belch. The words of the song are addressed to the singer/poet's lover.
The lyric is often assumed to be by Shakespeare, although he could have been referencing an existing song.

‘Take, Oh Take Those Lips Away’ is a song from Shakespeare’s ‘problem play’, Measure for Measure, the only one of Shakespeare’s plays to be set in Vienna, and is sung by a boy to Mariana, the woman whom Angelo promised to marry before abandoning her, reneging on his promise. The singer asks a false beloved to go away from them and leave off trying to kiss them with their lips – because the lips with which they would kiss are also the ones they used to perjure themselves. The tone, therefore, is bittersweet, and slightly more on the melancholy side.

"Sigh No More, Ladies, Sigh No More" is a song sung by Balthasar in Shakespeare's play Much Ado About Nothing. A playful yet poignant song that functions as a pivotal moment in Much Ado About Nothing, revealing the societal expectations and double standards of the time while adding a layer of complexity to the play's themes of love, betrayal, and reputation.

Mundi Renovatio

S

Ignis volat mobilis,
et aer volubilis,
fluit aqua labilis,
terra manet stabilis
alta petunt levia,
centrum tenent gravia,
renovantur omnia!
Caelum fit serenius,
et mare tranquilius,
et spirat aura mitius
revirescunt valis nostra floruit
post quam verintepuit
renovantur omnia!

Mundi renovatio nova paret
resurgenti Domino,
conresurgent omnia
elementa serviunt
et auctoris sentiunt,
quanta sit potentia.
(Hymnus paschalis in domenica resurrectionis -
Adae de Sancto Victore)


The fire glows and flickers,
the air rises softly,
the water rises and collects in the valley,
the earth waits for rain.
What s light forces upwards
while heavy things sink,
everything in the world reforms itself anew.
No cloud shows in the heavens,
the sea is calm,
the wind blows soft and quietly.
the slopes are blooming again,
the barren countryside is green again,
the sun shines warmly,
spring is here.
The whole world is born again,
new joys are calling.
Just as the Lord rose again,
everything is filling with life,
everything feels the power of its creator,
the elements serve the Lord.
