“Ev’ry valley shall be exalted” from Messiah – G.F. Handel, HWV.56

Ian BostridgeさんのEvery Valley は聴くのが大好きでいつも聴いているが、まさか自分で歌うとは思ってもみなかった。でも。そもそも歌をソロで歌うなんて思ってなかったのだから、歌ってみよう!!

なんとメロディーが歌詞の内容とぴったり一致している!谷と山のところはメロディーが上下し、Crocked のところは急な上下がある。そしてRough Places plainでは長音が続く!!

Air (Tenor)
Ev’ry valley shall be exalted,
and every mountain
and hill made low;
the crooked straight,
and the rough places plain.
(Isaiah 40:4)

アリア (テノール)
すべての谷は高められ、
すべての山や丘は低くされ、
歪んだ地は整えられ、
険しい地は平らにされる。

And the rough places plain
And the rough places plain
And the rough places plain

The crooked straight
And the rough places plain

Lyrics from Isaiah 40
Bach Collegium San Diego | I know that my redeemer liveth (G.F. Handel: Messiah)
  1. Air (Soprano)
    Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
    shout, o daughter of Jerusalem:
    behold, thy king cometh unto thee;
    He is the righteous Saviour,
    and He shall speak peace unto the heathen.
    (Zechariah 9:9~10
Then Shall The Eyes Of The Blind Be Opened/He Shall Feed His Flock – Handel’s Messiah
  1. Air (Alto & Soprano)
    He shall feed His flock like a shepherd,
  2. and He shall gather the lambs with His arm,
    and carry them in His bosom,
    and gently lead those that are with young.
    (sop) Come unto Him, all ye that labour,
    ye that are heavy laden, and He will give you rest.
    Take His yoke upon you, and learn of Him,
    for He is meek and lowly of heart,
    and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
    (Isaiah 40:11)(St. Mathew 11:28~29)
Hana Blažíková – How beautiful are the feet of them
  1. Air (Soprano)
    How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel
    of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things.
Lynne Dawson sings “I know that my redeemer liveth”
  1. ◎Air (Soprano)
    I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand
    at the latter day upon the earth, And though worms
    destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God.
    For now is Christ risen from the dead, the first fruits of
    them that sleep.
Messiah: Part 3, If God be for us, who can be against us? (Air, soprano)

46a. Air (Soprano)
If God be for us, who can be against us? Who shall lay
anything to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that
justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ died,
yea rather, that is risen again, who is at the right hand of
God, who makes intercession for us?
