Irish film music 작곡가, Brian Byrne의 2017년 앨범 "Goldenhair"에 실린 곡이다.
Text로 사용한 James Joyce의 "Chamber Music" 중 두개의 쏘네트,
#30, "Love came to us"와 #34, "Sleep Now"의 절묘한 조합이 돋보인다.
이곳의 장르와는 많이 다르지만 Samuel Barber의 같은 Joyce의 text에 의한 곡,
"Sleep Now"와 비교해 보도록 같이 올려둔다.
From James Joyce, "Chamber Music"
XXX
Love came to us in time gone by
When one at twilight shyly played
And one in fear was standing nigh —
For Love at first is all afraid.
We were grave lovers. Love is past
That had his sweet hours many a one;
Welcome to us now at the last
The ways that we shall go upon.
XXXIV
Sleep now, O sleep now,
O you unquiet heart!
A voice crying "Sleep now"
Is heard in my heart.
The voice of the winter
Is heard at the door.
O sleep, for the winter
Is crying "Sleep no more."
My kiss will give peace now
And quiet to your heart —
Sleep on in peace now,
O you unquiet heart!
Sleep Now
Music: Brian Byrne
Text: Based on poems of James Joyce's "Chamber Music"
Love came to us in time gone by
When one at twilight shyly played
And one in fear was standing high
For Love at first is all afraid.
Sleep now, O sleep now,
O you unquiet heart!
A voice crying "Sleep now"
Is heard in my heart.
My kiss will give peace now
And quiet to your heart —
Sleep on in peace now,
O you unquiet heart!
We were grave lovers. Love is past
That had his sweet hours many a one;
Welcome to us now at the last
The ways that we shall go upon.
Sleep now, O sleep now,
O you unquiet heart!
A voice crying "Sleep now"
Is heard in my heart.
My kiss will give peace now
And quiet to your heart —
Sleep on in peace now,
O you unquiet heart!
The voice of the winter
Is heard at the door.
O sleep, for the winter
Is crying "Sleep no more."
Sleep now, O sleep now,
O you unquiet heart!
Sleep on, in peace now,
O you unquiet heart!
Sleep on, in peace now,
O you unquiet heart!
