Quand Nos Bourgeons Se Rouvriront
”Quand nos bourgeons se rouvriront” ''("When the spring comes round")'' is a song for solo soprano, part of a staged recitation with orchestra ''Une voix dans le désert'' written by the English composer Edward Elgar in 1915. The words are by the Belgian poet Émile Cammaerts. It was first performed in a performance of ''Une voix dans le désert'' at the Shaftesbury Theatre, London, on 29 January 1916, sung by the soprano Olga Lynn, with the recitation by the Belgian dramatic performer Carlo Liten, and the orchestra conducted by the composer. The French title ''"Quand nos bourgeons se rouvriront"'' literally translates into ''"When our buds shall re-open"'', but in the English version of the lyrics, by Cammaerts' wife Tita Brand, it became ''"When the spring comes round"''. The song was published separately by Elkin & Co. in 1916, inscribed "English version by R. H. Elkin". The words are the same as in the vocal score of ''Une voix dans le désert'', so it is not clear wh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
