00:50 Chanson Triste (Henry Duparc) -- Grace Fitzpatrick 25:40 The Vagabond (Ralph Vaughan Williams) -- Aidan Callahan 50:44 Poor Wand’ring One from The Pirates of Penzance (Arthur Sullivan) -- Cassidy Bailey 1:12:50 Lonely House from Street Scene (Kurt Weill) -- Aiden Johnson 1:34:52 O du mein holder Abendstern from Tannhäuser (Richard Wagner) -- Aidan Schmidt Chanson triste ("Sad Song"): Moonlight slumbers in your heart, A gentle summer moonlight, And to escape the cares of life I shall drown myself in your light. I shall forget past sorrows, My sweet, when you cradle My sad heart and my thoughts In the loving calm of your arms. You will rest my poor head, Ah! sometimes on your lap, And recite to it a ballad That will seem to speak of us; And from your eyes full of sorrow, From your eyes I shall then drink So many kisses and so much love That perhaps I shall be healed. O du, mein holder Abendstern ("O You, My Gentle Evening Star"): Dusk covers the land like a premonition of death, Wraps the valley in her dark mantle; The soul that longs for those heights Dreads to take its dark and awful flight. Then you appear, O loveliest of stars, And shed your gentle light from afar; Your sweet glow cleaves the twilight gloom, And as a friend you show the way out of the valley. O you, my fair evening star, Gladly have I always greeted you: Greet her, from the depths of this heart, Which has never betrayed her, Greet her, when she passes, When she soars above this mortal vale To become a holy angel there!
