September (Four Last Songs by Strauss, piano version) - sung by Catherine Laidler-Lau
The garden is mourning,
the rain sinks coolly into the flowers.
Summer shudders
as it meets its end.
Leaf upon leaf drops golden
down from the lofty acacia.
Summer smiles, astonished and weak,
in the dying garden dream.
For a while still by the roses
it remains standing, yearning for peace.
Slowly it closes its large
eyes grown weary.

Frūhling (Four Last Songs - piano version) by Strauss, sung by Catherine-Laidler Lau
Просмотров 172 месяца назад
In dusky vaults I have long dreamt of your trees and blue skies, of your scents and the songs of birds. Now you lie revealed in glistening splendour, flushed with light, like a wonder before me. You know me again, you beckon tenderly to me; all of my limbs quiver from your blissful presence!
Im Abendrot (Richard Strauss - piano version) sung by Catherine Laidler Lau

We have gone hand in hand Through joys and distress, Now we rest from our wanderings High above the quiet land. Around us the valleys slope down, The skies have begun to darken, Only two larks, recalling a dream, Soar up into the haze. Come, and leave them to fly, Soon it will be time to sleep, We must not lose our way In this solitude. O vast and silent peace! So deep in sunset glow, How weary...
Beim Schlaffengehen by Richard Strauss (piano version) sung by Catherine Laidler-Lau

GOING TO SLEEP Now this day has fatigued me and my most arduous desire shall receive kindly the starry night like a tired child Hands, rest after so much action Forehead, cease all thinking Now all my senses wish to sink into this light slumber And unattendedly the soul wants to take wings freely to live on deep down and thousandfold in the magic circle of the night
By Chance (1977) composed by John S Lau

For Valentine's Day, I am offering the most original song (1977) I have ever composed, for all of my “fellow-travelers” in life from Hong Kong to America (via 40 countries): I am sorry that I couldn't hang onto most of you, but at 65, I think of you often under various circumstances and pray for your well-being still. God bless, wherever you are! ❤️🙏 Thanks go to my lovely wife #CatherineLaidle...

Togetherness - Wedding Song (1983) by John-Szicheng Lau Op 7
Просмотров 63711 лет назад
One week before our wedding, 30 years ago, I was summoned to L.A. for a citizenship interview. Ensconced inside my friend Keith's family home, I spent the days writing this song for our wedding, to take place on Aug 7th, 1983. As it turned out, we even managed to give its world premier on that literally scorching day, during our wedding ceremony at St. Paul the Apostle Church near Lincoln Cente...

    Lydia sur tes roses joues, Et sur ton col frais et si blanc, Roule étincelant L'or fluide que tu dénoues. Le jour qui luit est le meilleur: Oublions l'éternelle tombe. Laisse tes baisers de colombe Chanter sur ta lèvre en fleur. Un lys caché répand sans cesse Une odeur divine en ton sein: Les délices, comme un essaim, Sortent de toi, jeune Déesse! Je t'aime et meurs, ô mes amours! Mon âme en baisers m'est ravie. O Lydia, rends-moi la vie, Que je puisse mourir toujours!

    I have a baritone voice (NOT PROFESSIONAL) and I have been at the lowest point possible and found great comfort in bellowing this impassioned plea to God. The sheer emotion and desperation of humanity in their valley of the shadow of death. God bless you Mark.

    Impassioned, yes, and, clearly, deeply felt. However, some quieter tonal injection would have been welcome here and there but I didn't get any...

      You must’ve missed the multiple diminuendi. A shame, as they were beautiful and imbued with tremendous pathos.

    Gorgeous, huge voice. A lot of yams in this performance though. A lot of singers are guilty of this habit.

    • @TrueConnoisseur
      @TrueConnoisseur 2 года назад

      You could consider it a bad habit, or you could consider it what naturally happens when a fully resonant voice tracks vowels without regard for pedantic choir rules.

    • @DavidHughes-op6zl
      @DavidHughes-op6zl 2 года назад

      What in the worid is a yam in this context? I know it to be a potato-like root vegetable but I've never come across one in the musical sense... Pray explain.
