미 작곡가, Charles Tomlinson Griffes (1884-1920), died at the age of 35 1. The Lament of Ian the Proud Music: Charles T. Griffes, from Song cycle, Three Poems of Fiona Macleod, Op. 11 Text: William Sharp, under the pseudonym Fiona Macleod What is this crying that I hear in the wind? Is it the old sorrow and the old grief? Or is it a new thing coming, a whirling leaf About the gray hair of me who am weary and blind? I know not what it is, but on the moor above the shore There is a stone which the purple nets of heather bind, And thereon is writ: She will return no more. O blown, whirling leaf, and the old grief, And wind crying to me who am old and blind! moor = 황야, 황무지 writ = 글, 문서 The Lament of Ian the Proud, Op. 11 No. 1 Phyllis Bryn-Julson, Sop Charles Griffes의 "finest" 로 알려진 "The Lament of Ian the Proud" - 평론가들은 영미가곡 중 가장 위대한 곡의 하나로 손꼽는다. The song tells of an old man's grief and sorrow, which he hears as cries blowing in the wind. As he recalls his memories - the stone on the moor that marks the grave of his beloved ("she will return no more") - Griffes builds intensity toward the final emotional climax. It is a mournful song, almost chilling in its sadness. 아래는 song cycle 중 나머지 2곡이다.
