Garrett Sholdice / Prologue from 'Recueillement' / 2011
A short film by Krishan Hukam.
The prologue from Garrett Sholdice’s chamber opera ‘Recueillement’, based on poetry by Charles Baudelaire, performed by Irish vocalist Michelle O'Rourke.
Recueillement
Sois sage, ô ma Douleur, et tiens-toi plus tranquille.
Tu réclamais le Soir; il descend; le voici:
Une atmosphère obscure enveloppe la ville,
Aux uns portant la paix, aux autres le souci.
(from 'The Flowers of Evil' by Charles Baudelaire, 1857)
Meditation
Be good, my Sorrow, hush now, settle down.
You sighed for dusk, and now it comes: look there!
A denser atmosphere obscures the town,
To some restoring peace, to others concern.
