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

When love first tasted the lips of being human, it started singing. Texts by Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks © 1995 Coleman Barks. Used by permission. Performed by the Millennium Consort, Martin Neary, conductor, and the Pomona College Choir, Donna Di Grazia, director. Water Ruminations is a setting of six poems by the thirteenth-century poet Rumi, in English translations from the Persian by Coleman Barks, for double Choir and organ. The poetry sings of literal and spiritual connections between water and sky, a drop of water and human life, flowing water and love, drinking water and its container, the giddiness of spring and rolling seas, and the ocean's gifts and singing. Its images, from 800 years ago, speak to us with both vivid immediacy and transcendence. The idea for the piece originated with the Mellon Elemental Arts Initiative, which proposed funding activities that would involve students in a...    less
