베토벤/웨일즈 노래(26) WoO 155 / 9 '에올리안 하프' To the Aeolian harp - 존 마크 에인슬리(테너) & 말콤 마르티누(피아노)

 

Beethoven (1770-1827) 26 Welsh Songs, WoO 155 No.9 To the Aeolian harp 에올리안 하프 Anne Hunter (1742-1821) text To the Aeolian Harp Language: English Harp of the winds! In airy measure Thy strings when viewless fingers move, Unfolding all thy tuneful treasure, Thy cadence wild I dearly love. Refrain: The sounds, all earthly sounds excelling, Our wand'ring thoughts to heav'n recall; Now softly sighing, loudly swelling, Lost in many a dying fall. Harp of the winds! While, pensive musing, I mark thy deep impassion'd strain, When trees their summer beauty losing, With yellow leaves bestrew the plain. (Refrain) Harp of the winds! While, faintly beaming, Yon moon hangs o'er the ruined tower, And flitting shadows dimly gleaming, Seem subject to thy magic power. 에올리안 하프 (Aeolian harp) 는 가는 허리에 여섯 개 이상의 현을 맨 악기로 그리스의 바람의 신(風神) 아이올로스에서 유래 한 것인데, 줄에 바람이 와서 닿으면 저절로 소리가 난다.
