PERSEVERE! As we put 2020 behind us, we reflect on the timeless optimism of poet Helmina von Chézy:
"Part, ah, part,
But not from hope!"
Her inspiring words rang out Cantori's final subscription concert before the pandemic, and were fondly revived during our quarantine period. Enjoy this virtual rendition of BEHARRE ("Persevere") as set by Hermann Goetz, in the original German (with English subtitles).
----
"For decades, Cantori New York has been in the vanguard of re-presenting outstanding voices who have found themselves pushed to the margins of history; and we embrace with wide-open arms the exceptional talents of today.
Helmina von Chézy was a political journalist, librettist, poet and military hospital nurse; during her extraordinary life she advocated fiercely for democracy, humane treatment of those wounded in battle, fairness for workers. Hermann Goetz was a pianist, conductor and critic before turning to composition in the last three years of his brief life, cut short prematurely by illness. Who better than they to help us speak all that is in our hearts?"
-Mark Shapiro, Artistic Director

PERSEVERE
Part, ah, part,
But not from love!
Even if love blooms instantly into suffering,
It is still the light of life!
Part, ah, part,
But not from hope!
It is a star in suffering,
A God-forget-me-not!
Part, ah, part,
But not from faith!
It says to you: Love, suffer,
And trust in my light!
-------------
BEHARRE
Scheide, ach scheide
doch nur von Liebe nicht;
blüht Liebe gleich im Leide,
ist sie doch Lebenslicht!
Scheide, ach scheide
doch nur von Hoffnung nicht.
Ein Stern ist sie im Leide,
ein Gottvergissmeinnicht!
Scheide, ach scheide
doch nur vom Glauben nicht.
Der sagt dir: liebe, leide,
und hoff' in meinem Licht!
