En Kör: I Seraillets Have (Wilhelm Stenhammar)

En Kör performs I Seraillets Have by Wilhelm Stenhammmar from the suite "Tre Körvisor". The recording is from En Körs EP Laughter and Tears, available on Spotify and Apple Music

I Seraillets Have, the second piece of Stenhammar's "Tre Körvisor" (Three Choral Songs), is perhaps the most beloved gem of the Swedish choral repertoire. The music is composed to the text by the Danish lyricist Jens Peter Jacobsen, describing a Turkish garden on a warm summer night. With pride and a touch of nervousness, we now present our rendition (and attempt at Danish pronunciation).

Lyrics:

Rosen sænker sit Hoved, tungt
Af Dug og Duft
Og Pinjerne svaje saa tyst og mat
I lumre Luft
Kilderne vælte det tunge Sølv
I døsig Ro
Minareterne pege mod Himlen op
I Tyrketro
Og Halvmaanen driver saa jævnt afsted
Over det jævne Blaa
Og den kysser Rosers og Liljers Flok
Alle de Blomster smaa
I Seraillets Have
I Seraillets Have

English translation:

The rose lowers its head, heavy
with dew and scent,
and the pines sway gently and feebly
in the sultry air.
The spings roll their heavy silver
in drowsy calm,
Minarets point towards the Heaven
of the Turkish faith,
and the halfmoon steadily drifts
through the evening-blue,
and kisses the flocks of roses and lilies,
all those little flowers
in Seraglio's Garden,
in Seraglio's Garden.
