La grande artiste Pumeza Matshikiza nous donne une version très émouvante de cette mélodie, pleine de mystère et de rêverie. Je suis très touché par la finesse de cette interprétation. Merci Madame et bravo. Voici le texte de ce poème envoûtant : Dans un sommeil que charmait ton image Je rêvais le bonheur, ardent mirage Tes yeux étaient plus doux, ta voix pure et sonore Tu rayonnais comme un ciel éclairé par l'aurore; Tu m'appelais et je quittais la terre Pour m'enfuir avec toi vers la lumière Les cieux pour nous entr'ouvraient leurs nues Splendeurs inconnues, lueurs divines entrevues Hélas! Hélas, triste réveil des songes Je t'appelle, ô nuit, rends moi tes mensonges Reviens, reviens radieuse Reviens, ô nuit mystérieuse! Mélodie sur un poème italien anonyme adapté en français par Romain Bussine. - Dédicace à Marguerite Baugnies. - Date de composition : 1877. - 1re exécution : Paris, Société nationale de musique, 11 janvier 1879. Tonalité : do mineur
She has always been one of my favourite voices under the sun since the days of our riverly in high schools competitions. Not even a single day passes without listening to both her albums, in my car, house and mobile phones. Gracie Pumeza.
The texture of a rose petal, this is how I see your voice when I listen to you. What a privilege to accompany you on the piano! From a fellow musician (pianist) whom you just brought to tears... of joy. 😊
Pumeza, you make me proud to be South African! Bravississimo girl, you are an enigma. Absolute bliss to listen and watch you sing. God bless your soul.
I like how the video was shot and the lighting captures the ideas behind the lyrics. Well done *Edit:* and even when she sings "reviens. Reviens !" that's when the camera starts to pull away from her. That's just beautiful watching it for the second time
MARAVILLOSO Y ATERCIOPELADO TIMBRE. UNA VOZ LIMPIA. UN TEMPO TRANQUILO Y EXACTO. Y UNA MUSICALIDAD LLENA DE MATICES Y SUTILEZAS MUY FINAS. BRAVISIMO !!!!
New metric match ENGLISH singing translation by Gloria Merle Huffman: "Apres un Reve, D min., p/voc, *new English* w/ French, Tuscan" www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/20446804 Samples: "There, as I slept, you appeared in a vision;" "Brightly you shone, like a sky in the first light of morning." "Heav'n broke its vaulted dome and granted us passage ..." [Th8-6-20-2320E]
In a slumber which held your image spellbound I dreamt of happiness, passionate mirage, Your eyes were softer, your voice pure and sonorous, You shone like a sky lit up by the dawn; You called me and I left the earth To run away with you towards the light, The skies opened their clouds for us, Unknown splendours, divine flashes glimpsed, Alas! Alas! sad awakening from dreams I call you, O night, give me back your lies, Return, return radiant, Return, O mysterious night.
It is quite difficult to sing French pieces without nasality; it is the nature of the language. If one listens to the French singing their own music it is quite apparent. I never had an issue with nasality until I sang this song; I was just listening to an old tape and thought 'my gawd! where did that come from?' That being said, this is a beautiful rendition and pronunciation does not affect the gorgeous sounds issuing from her mouth.
