SCORE Kabeljau Kartoffelsuppe Klösse Rote-Grütze An odd little piece with titles provided by the composer Detlev Glanert when we were composition fellows together at Tanglewood; they are the names of some of his favorite childhood food and drink. He was also kind enough to translate the texts into German. |
TEXT Hier bin ich, Kleine Spring Katrein, Wenn keiner bei mir ist, Bin ich immer allein. Iss deinen Fisch, Iss diese köstliche Rote-Beete Suppe, Iss deine Feigen. Rudere mich den Fluss Hinunter auf deinem Regemantel. |
Here am I Little Jumping Joan When no one's with me I'm always alone Eat your fish |
