'Neath Thy Lattice | MIDI | salon CD2 | |
This is from a collection, Roses and Rue, consisting of
Four Sketches for Piano.
'Neath Thy Lattice is the first and best of the four.
Roses and Rue is a poem by Oscar Wilde;
'Neath thy Lattice is an 1895 song by Agnes S. Buck.
The piece is headed by a quatrain:
`Sleep on, and dream of heaven awhile --//
Tho' shut so close thy laughing eyes,//
Thy rosy lips still wear a smile//
And move, and breathe delicious sighs.'
which is taken from a poem Sleeping Beauty by Samuel Rogers.
All a bit racy for the period! My copy of the piece is Copyright MCMXV, by Reeder and Walsh, 14 Castle St., London W. I've scored this for the Roland `Magical Piano', kept the notated rocking rhythm instead of sharpening it up to a [slow] tango, and added quite a lot of the pedal `at discretion'. I hope this keeps the dreamy quality of a "Sleeping Beauty". Somewhat naughtily, the LH pedalling is different from the RH. No-one will notice. |
