No "Waltz of the Flowers" this morning, but lots of musical
blossoms from classical masters, the "Kings" of Ragtime, and a
Peruvian Zamacueca that will leave you blushing. Read on for programming
details, and stay tuned for spoken introductions.
Centering Music: Adam Kent, piano
Bruyères (Heather) from Préludes II
Claude Debussy
Opening Music: Kim Force, vocals
La rosa y el clavel (The Rose and the Carnation)*
Rosa Mercedes Ayarza
*Translation:
"The Rose and the Carnation"
The rose and the carnation came out to dance. (2X)
The rose was crimson and the carnation was deep red. (2X)
And as the two danced---ah, such temptation!
The rose lost her petals,
but not the carnation!
They came out to dance, to see who danced better. (2X)
And the trapped rose showed her splendor more. (2X)
And as the two danced---ah, such temptation!
The rose lost her petals, but not the carnation!
