Description
SKU: A0.912861
Composed by Richard Arnest. Contemporary. Octavo. 10 pages. MUC #2924307. Published by MUC (A0.912861).This mystical poem by the Cuban poet José Martí, depicts the Christ Child riding on a desert lion.
I set this for three women's voices and obbligato flute, one of a series of works with similar textures. Some have piano, some only two voices.
It can be performed with solo voices or a women's chorus. It may be used as a concert piece, as music in a church service, or as part of an Advent or Christmas presentation.
Yo sueño con los ojos
Abiertos, y de día
Y noche siempre sueño.
Y sobre las espumas
Del ancho mar revuelto,
Y por entre las crespas
Arenas del desierto,
Y del león pujante,
Monarca de mi pecho,
Montado alegremente
Sobre el sumiso cuello.
Un niño que me llama
Flotando siempre veo!
– José Martí (1853-1895)
I dream with eyes
Open, and by day
And night always dream.
And above the waves
Of the broad, restless sea,
And among the cresting
Sands of the desert
And the powerful lion,
Ruler of my heart
Riding joyfully
On whose submissive neck
A child who calls to me,
Floating, always, I see
