about

A setting of Stéphane Mallarmé for soprano & guitar

lyrics

Sainte - Stéphane Mallarmé

A la fenêtre recélant
Le santal vieux qui se dédore
De sa viole étincelant
Jadis avec flûte ou mandore,

Est la sainte pâle, étalant
Le livre vieux qui se déplie
Du Magnificat ruisselant
Jadis selon vêpre et complie:

A ce vitrage d'ostensoir
Que frôle une harpe par l'Ange
Formée avec son vol du soir
Pour la délicate phalange

Du doigt que, sans le vieux santal
Ni le vieux livre, elle balance
Sur le plumage instrumental,
Musicienne du silence.

----------

At the window concealing
The old sandalwood that
Is losing its gilt
Of her viol once sparking
With flute or mandola,

Is the pale saint; She displays the old
unfolding book of the Magnificat
flowing in ages past according to
vespers and compline:

Within this monstrance glass brushed
by a harp formed by the Angel
with his evening flight for the delicate tip

Of the finger which, without the old sandalwood
or the old book, she holds poised on the
instrumental plumage, musician of silence
