Camerata sings Bo Holten's "Skiønneste Blomster sin Taerende Gift"

Описание: As part of the New Danish Church Music festival in Aarhus, May 17-20, 2012, all participating choirs sang this new composition by Bo Holten (visit his choir at www.ficta.dk). Camerata Kammerkor is conducted by Martin Nagashima-Toft. Performance was recorded at the Aarhus Domkirke using a Zoom H4 in front of the choir, a Zoom H2 behind the choir (the two audio files were then mixed together), and a Flip Video camera (sorry the image is off-center). Acoustic is naturally from the church - no effects. Text is by Kingo:

Vaelde og Viissdom og timelig AEre,
Styrke og Ungdom i blomstrende aar.
Høyt over andre kan Hovedet baere,
Falder dog af og i tiden forgaar!
Alle ting maa E den opnaa Himmelens Salighed,
Deyligste Roser har stindeste torne,
Skiønneste Blomster sin taerende Gift.
Under en Rosenkind Hjertet kan forne
for dog at Skaebnen saa saelsom er skift!
I vaadevand flyder vort Land,
Himlen har ene Lyksaligheds stand.
Nu vel da! Saa vil jeg mig aldrig bemøye
om ikke verden gaar efter min Agt!
Ingen bekymring skal kunne mig bøye,
Intet skal gøre mig hjerte forsagt!
Sorrig skal dø, Lystigheds Frø
Blomstres paa HimleLyksaligheds ø!
Angest skal avle en varende Glaede,
Qvide skal vinde sin Tott udaf Teen!
Armod skal prydes i rigeste Klaede,
Svaghed skal reyses paa sundeste Been!
Avind skal staa faengslet i Vraa
Himlen kan ene alt dette formaa.
