Versa est in luctum
Alonso Lobo
(1555 – 1617)
My harp is tuned for lamentation, and my flute to the voice of those who weep. Spare me, O Lord, for my
days are as nothing.
My skin is become black upon me, and my bones are dried up.
Versa est in luctum
Garth Molyneux
(b. 1958)
Epitaph on John Jayberd of Diss (Burlesca)
No. III from Five Tudor Portraits
Ralph Vaughan Williams
(1872 - 1958)
Here follows a trental, more or less reasonable, hardly fitting for the Church, but formal enough, for John the
Clerk, a certain man of many names who was called John Jayberd. He was called clerk by the clergy. This
holy father died in the year of our Lord 1506. In the parish of Diss there was not his like; a man renowned
for malice, double-hearted and double-tongued, worn out by old age, suspected of all, loved by none. He is
buried...
Sing we songs in our cups to celebrate John. The clerk truly is dead and was given the name of Jayberd. He
was born among the people of Diss and was called clerk by the clergy.
Never was he wont truly to bewail his sins. His evil tongue was loquacious and lying. Such morals as his
were never before in anyone. When he breathed the vital air he disturbed his companions and his fellow
citizens as if he were an ass, a mule, or a bull. Do you ask who this is? John Jayberd, inhabitant of Diss
with whom while he lived were associated quarrels, violence and strife. Now here he lies...
Pray, brethren...
Drink your fill. See he is buried under your feet, a fool, an ass, and a mule...
Forever and ever.
Auto-da-Fé
Leonard Bernstein (1918 - 1990)
arr. D. Huff
from Candide
Nachthelle, D 892
Franz Schubert
(1797 - 1828)
R. Jacoby Isley, tenor
The night is clear and pure, in the brightest of all radiance. The houses look wondrous, silvered-over
completely.
Within me it is so wonderfully bright, so full and overflowing, and prevails therein free and clear,
completely without sorrow and resentment.
I cannot contain within my heart all that rich light; it wants to get out, and it must get out, the last barrier
breaks.
The night is clear.. etc.
