TEXTS + TRANSLATIONS Nevitt: “Hope Is the Thing with Feathers” (Text: Emily Dickinson) Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all. And sweetest in the gale is heard; And sore must be the storm That could abash the little bird That kept so many warm. I’ve heard it in the chillest land, And on the strangest sea; Yet, never, in extremity, It asked a crumb of me. Traditional Seneca: “Neesa, Neesa” Seneca words: Neesa: Grandmother Moon, or Winter Moon Gayweeyo: The Creator who is in Everything Horne: “I Am” I am the water, I am the wind in your hair. I am the bird in the tree. I am the starry sky, I am the mountain so high. I am the scent on the breeze. I am nature, I am beauty. I am the earth and the sea. I am the moonlight, I am the canyon so wide. I am the storm rolling by. I am the sun so bright, I am the sweet butterfly. I am thee field and the sky. Ogura: “Hotaru Koi” Ho, ho, hotaru koi, Hey, hey, come, firefly Atchi no mizu wa nigai zo, The water over there is bitter Kotchi no mizu wa amai zo, The water over here is sweet Ho, ho, hotaru koi. Come, firefly. 4 YOUTH CHORUSES SEASON FINALE CONCERT

For the sake of you my lassie, I’m bound away. Morley: “Sweet Nymphe come to thy Lover” Sweet Nymph come to thy lover, Lo, here alone our loves we may discover, Where the sweet Nightingale with wanton gloses, Hark her love to discloses Beck: “The Moon” O moon, Shining in the night, O moon, are you listening? O moon, silvery and brith, Come again tomorrow night, Come again tomorrow night. Nighttime will soon be done, Bringing the morning sun. Where will you go? What will you do? While you are gone, I’ll wait for you. O moon, Shining in the night, O moon, are you listening? O moon, silvery and bright, Come again tomorrow night, Come again tomorrow night. Daylight is coming soon. Where will you go, O moon? Over a cloud? Under a hill? See you tomorrow night, I will. O moon, O moon. O moon, O moon. Moon. 6 YOUTH CHORUSES SEASON FINALE CONCERT
Schumann: “Der Mond kommt still gegangen”
Der Mond kommt still gegangen The moon rises silently
Mit seinem gold’nen Schein. With its golden glow.
Da schläft in holdem Prangen The weary earth then falls asleep
Die müde Erde ein. In beauty and splendour.
Und auf den Lüften schwanken Many thousand loving thoughts
Aus manchem treuen Sinn From many faithful minds
Viel tausend Liebesgedanken Sway on the breezes
Über die Schläfer hin. Over those who slumber.
Und drunten im Tale, da funkeln And down in the valley, the windows
Die Fenster von Liebchens Haus; Sparkle of my beloved’s house;
Ich aber blicke im Dunkeln But I in the darkness gaze
Still in die Welt hinaus. Silently out into the world.
Translation by Richard Stokes, author of “The Book of Lieder”
Betinis: “Love is Love is Love is Love”
Ubi caritas et amor: Where there is charity and love
Love is love is love is love,
Love is love is love is love,
Oh, love is love is love is love,
Oh, love is love is love is love.
Oh, love, love, love.
All we need is love, love, love.
Ubi caritas et amor,
Where there’s love,
Love is love.
Papoulis: “Cambiar El Mundo”
Cambiar: Change If we could all see
Cambiar el mundo: Change the world What we all could be,
Hablar a todos: Talk to everyone Then we all learn to believe.
Esperanza: Hope
We all have the hope
Cambiar! Living in our hearts.
Trying to find a way Look into my eyes, you will see

1863, H+H performed at the Grand Jubilee
Concert celebrating the enactment of the
Emancipation Proclamation. Two years later,
H+H performed at the memorial service for
Abraham Lincoln.
Today, H+H’s Orchestra and Chorus delight more than 50,000 listeners
annually with a nine-week subscription series at Symphony Hall and
other leading venues. Through the Karen S. and George D. Levy
Education Program, H+H supports seven youth choirs of singers in
grades 2–12, and provides thousands of complimentary tickets to
students and communities throughout Boston, ensuring the joy of music
is accessible to all.
H+H’s numerous free community concerts include an annual
commemoration of the original 1863 Emancipation Proclamation concert
on December 31 of every year, in collaboration with the Museum of
African American History.
The artistic director of the Handel and Haydn Society is Harry
Christophers, who is also founding artistic director of The Sixteen in
London. Under Christophers’s leadership, H+H has released 15 CDs on
the Coro label and has toured nationally and internationally.
In all these ways, H+H fulfills its mission to inspire the intellect, touch the
heart, elevate the soul, and connect all of us with our shared humanity
through transformative experiences with Baroque and Classical music.
