TEXT & TRANSLATIONS

Nach dem Abschied

Die Sonne senkt sich in des Meeres Schooß,Allein das Licht, der Himmel läßt’s nicht los.Es blüht und glüht und macht die Nacht zum Tage,Zum Jubellied der Nachtigallen Klage. So gingst du zwar; doch deines Wesens LichtVerläßt den Himmel meiner Seele nicht.Wo ich denn wandern mag und ruhn auf Erden,Kann nimmer Nacht und Trauer in mir werden.

Ob ich manchmal Dein gedenke

Ob ich manchmal Dein gedenke?Wüßtest Du, wie sehr ich’s thu’,Dir auch noch die Schatten lenkeTräumender Gedanken zu!

Tag und Nacht, und alle Stunden,—O dies Alles sagt es nicht;Du, seitdem wir uns gefunden,Bist’s allein, was aus mir spricht.

Alles Andre seh’ ich schwankenUm mich her wie Traum und Schein.Dein zu denken ist mein Leben,Dich zu lieben ist mein Sein.

Nella fantasia – lyrics by Chiara FerraùNella fantasia io vedo un mondo giusto, Lì tutti vivono in pace e in onestà. Io sogno d’anime che sono sempre libere, Come le nuvole che volano, Pien’ d’umanità in fondo all’anima.Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo chiaro Lì anche la notte è meno oscura. Io sogno d’anime che sono sempre libere, Come le nuvole che volano, Pien’ d’umanità.Nella fantasia esiste un vento caldo, Che soffia sulle città, come amico. Io sogno d’anime che sono sempre libere, Come le nuvole che volano, Pien’ d’umanità in fondo all’anima.

After Leave-Taking

The sun sinks into the lap of the sea,But the light – the sky does not release it.It blossoms and glows and turns night into day,The lament of the nightingale into a paean of joy.

Thus you departed, but the light of your beingDoes not depart from the sky of my soul.Wherever I may wander and rest on earth,Night and sadness can never arise within me.

Translation © Harald & Sharon Krebs

Do I sometimes think of you

Do I sometimes think of you?If you only knew how much!Draw unto yourself even the shadowsOf my dreaming thoughts!

Day and night, and at all hours,Oh all those words do not express it;You alone, since we found each other,Are the substance of my utterances. I see everything else totteringAbout me like dreams and illusions!To think of you is my very life!To love you is my existence.

Translation © Harald & Sharon Krebs

Nella fantasia

In my fantasy I see a just worldWhere all live in peace and honestyI dream of souls that are always freeLike clouds that soarFull of humanity in the depths of the soul.In my fantasy I see a bright worldWhere even night there is less darknessI dream of souls that are always freeLike clouds that soarFull of humanity.In my fantasy exists a warming windThat breathes into the city, like a friendI dream of souls that are always freeLike clouds that soarFull of humanity in the depths of the soul.

Die Taubenpost – Johann Gabriel SeidlIch hab’ eine Brieftaub’ in meinem Sold,Die ist gar ergeben und treu,Sie nimmt mir nie das Ziel zu kurzUnd fliegt auch nie vorbei.

Ich sende sie viel tausendmalAuf Kundschaft täglich hinaus,Vorbei an manchem lieben Ort,Bis zu der Liebsten Haus.

Dort schaut sie zum Fenster heimlich hinein,Belauscht ihren Blick und Schritt,Gibt meine Grüße scherzend abUnd nimmt die ihren mit.

Kein Briefchen brauch ich zu schreiben mehr,Die Träne selbst geb ich ihr,Oh, sie verträgt sie sicher nicht,Gar eifrig dient sie mir.

Bei Tag, bei Nacht, im Wachen, im Traum,Ihr gilt das alles gleich,Wenn sie nur wandern, wandern kann,Dann ist sie überreich!

Sie wird nicht müd, sie wird nicht matt,Der Weg ist stets ihr neu;Sie braucht nicht Lockung, braucht nicht Lohn,Die Taub’ ist so mir treu!

Drum heg ich sie auch so treu an der Brust,Versichert des schönsten Gewinns;Sie heißt - die Sehnsucht! Kennt ihr sie? -Die Botin treuen Sinns.

The pigeon post

In my pay I have a carrier-pigeonWho is utterly loyal and true.She never stops too short of her goal,Nor ever flies too far.

A thousand times I send her outEvery day to gather information,Past many of my favourite placesAll the way to my beloved’s house.

There she peeps in secretly at the window,Eavesdropping on her every look and step;Banteringly she conveys my greetingsAnd brings my beloved’s back to me.

I don’t even need to write a note any longer;I give her my tears themselves.Oh, she hardly tolerates those,So fervently does she serve me.

By day, by night, awake or in a dream,It is all the same to her:Only when she can be underway,Then she is happy!

She never grows tired, she never feels dull,The way always feels new to her;She needs no enticement, needs no reward,So true to me is this pigeon!

And so I cherish her so truly in my heart,Assured of the fairest prize;Her name is -- Longing! Do you know her? --The messenger of a devoted heart.

About our nameLes Barricades Mystérieuses (The Mysterious Barricades) was composed in 1717 for the harpsichord by François Couperin. It is the fifth piece in his “Ordre 6ème

de clavecin” in B-flat major from his second book of collected harpsichord pieces (Pièces de Clavecin). With this concert project we hope to raise the

level of discussion and awareness surrounding the mysterious barricades between mental health and illness, between the darkness of depression and a

flicker of hope, between life and death.

Message from our PresidentRobert Schumann said: “ "To send light into the darkness of men's hearts - such is

the duty of the artist."It is my desire that through this concert event, those struggling with mental illness

and those at risk for suicide may know how much their lives truly matter, and that we - as a country and a community - we SEE them. We wish for the stigma

of mental illness to become a thing of the past, like every other prejudice against any other unasked for human condition or illness should be a thing of the past. To become more open and accepting, a substantial conversation

must take place. I want to herald that conversation with music - loud, glorious, positive and far-reaching, deeply reverberating and connective music - which

speaks to our universal human nature.- Elizabeth Turnbull

The FactsAbout 4,000 Canadians die by suicide every year. Suicide is the second-most common cause of death among young people, but men in their 40s and 50s have the highest rate of suicide. While women are three to four times more likely to attempt suicide than men, men are three times more likely to die by suicide than women. (Source: CMHA)

The MissionTo bring the gift of music to Canada on World Suicide Prevention Day, to raise awareness surrounding the mysterious barricades between mental illness and health, between the darkness of depression and a flicker of hope, between life and death. To encourage public discourse about the prevalence of suicide and measures for suicide prevention. To encourage the formation of community by those impacted by suicide, and to raise funds for education and support for those at risk and those impacted by suicide.
