- Program Notes
- “Lors que souef plus il me baiseroit, Et mon esprit sur ses lèvres fuiroit, bien je mourrois, plus que vivante, eureuse.” [Tr: “If he thirsted to kiss me instead, so that on his lips my spirit fled, I’d rather die, more than alive, joyful.”] The idea for the song cycle aligns with my musical exploration of human emotions, emphasizing my return to the concept of music moving “the passions,” or more commonly known as the Doctrine of the Affections, which emerged in the Baroque era. However, instead of focusing on how music moves the emotion, I explore how femininity and the power of the erotic, as explained by Audre Lorde, is the underlying authority when it comes to embodying our emotions fully and acting with passion in a romantic and non-romantic context. In Mors Osculi, music is as much given as it is received, with passion and eroticism. *** Sonnets (English translation by A. S. Kline with modifications by the composer).
