The Bright Sun During a Choral Performance at a Planetarium
The Verdigris Ensemble performed a concert at the University of Texas at Arlington Planetarium yesterday. Here is a picture of one of the Sun projections while we sang the following text:
While the bright sun
Metres of Boethius, VI
While the bright sun most clear is beaming,
Gleaming in heaven, gloom enwrappeth
Over the world all other bodies;
For their light is nought, nothing at all,
When set against the sun’s great brightness.
When softly bloweth from south and west
The wind ’neath heav’n, then soon wax
The flowers of the field, fain to be able.
But the stiff storm-wind, when it strongly bloweth
From out of the north-east, how soon it nippeth
The rose’s beauty! By the northern blast
The spacious ocean is helpless spurned
Till strongly heaving it striketh the beach.
Alas, that in the world nothing weareth
Firm and lasting long on this earth!
