Description
This is my version for viola and piano of his “Legend” or “The garden of the young child Jesus” from the “16 Children’s Songs” op. 54, written originaly for voice and piano.
Words by Alexey Plesheev, from his poem “Legend” (1877). This was itself a translation of a poem by Richard Henry Stoddard, entitled “Roses and Thorns” (1857).
Anna Serova - viola, Filippo Faes - piano, Roberto Molinelli - recording, editing, mastering.
Stoddard (1857):
The young child Jesus had a garden,
Full of roses, rare and red:
And thrice a day he watered them,
To make a garland for his head.
When they were full-blown in the garden,
He called the Jewish children there,
And eachdid pluck himself a rose,
Until they stripped the garden bare.
“And now how will you make your garland?
For not a rose your path adorns!”
“But you forget”, he answered them,
That you have left me still the thorns.”
They took the thorns, and made a garland,
And placed it on his shining head;
And where the roses should have shone
Were little drops of blood instead.
Plesheev (1877):
Был у Христа-младенца сад,
И много роз взрастил он в нем;
Он трижды в день их поливал,
Чтоб сплесть венок себе потом.
Когда же розы расцвели,
Детей еврейский созвал он;
Они сорвали по цветку,
И сад весь был опустошен.
«Как ты сплетешь теперь венок?
В твоем саду нет больше роз!»
— «Вы позабыли, что шипы
Остались мне»,- сказал Христос.
И из шипов они сплели
Венок колючий для него.
И капли крови вместо роз
Чело украсили его.
