Sure on this Shining Night 在這閃亮的夜晚 美國作家艾吉(James Agee, 1909-1955)是美國四O年代重要的小說家、編劇、電影評論與詩人，在他去世後才出版的傳記小說《A Death in the Family》使他榮獲1958年的普立茲獎。此曲歌詞節錄自〈描述天堂〉(Description of Elysium)一詩，收錄在1934年出版的「允許我遠航」(Permit Me Voyage)詩集中。 勞律森將此詩譜寫成為混聲四部合唱曲，配合詩作藉著景物抒懷，在歌詞shining（閃亮）一字，運用花腔式（一字對多音）的...    less

Hur själen än har tröttnat, du ständigt dock, o hav, i härlighet är nytt.\ Hur månget hjärta glömt vid denna djupa syn, hur mången själ har stillnat! O mänsklighetens ädle, tankens och sångens väldige, ha mättat sina själar; O heliga, av dina brus som sjunga i morgonbrus ur Tebes Pindaros, och mörkna med Psaltaren till väldigt aftonbrus! ~Vilhelm Ekelund Translation: O refuge, safe and calm! How my soul is already tired, yet you are constant, o sea, in your glory anew. How many hearts have forgotten in the presence of your depths, how many souls have quieted! O humankind's most noble one, mightiest one of thought and song, who has filled our souls, O holy one, they sing of your swells from the morning waves of Pindar's Thebes, and grow darker through the Psalms to the mighty surges of evening...    less
