  • My wife @laurence_servaes rehearsing Poulenc this morning. Below is the translation and her thoughts.Francis Poulenc..Mon cadavre est doux comme un gantDoux comme un gant de peau glaçéeEt mes prunelles effacéesFont de mes #yeux des cailloux blancs..Deux cailloux blancs dans mon #visage,Dans le silence deux muetsOmbrés encore d'un secretEt lourds du poids mort des #images..Mes #doigts tant de fois égarésSont joints en attitude #saint Appuyées au creux de mes plaintesAu nœud de mon #cœur arrêté..Et mes deux pieds sont les #montagnes,Les deux derniers monts que j'ai vusA la minute où j'ai perduLa course que les années gagnent..Mon #souvenir est ressemblant,#Enfants emportez-le bien vite,Allez, allez ma #vie est dite.Mon cadavre est doux comme un gant....My corpse is as soft as a glove..My corpse is as soft as a glovesoft as a glove of glacé kidand my hidden pupilsmake white pebbles of my #eyes..Two white pebbles in my #face,in the silence two mutesstill shaded by a secretand burdened by dead weight of images..My fingers, so often gone astray,are joined in a devout postureleaning on the hollow of my lamentson the tangle of my still #heart..And my two feet are the #mountains,the two last hills that I sawat the moment when I lostthe race that the years win..My #memory resembles this,#children, bear it quickly away,go, go, my #life is done.My corpse is as soft as a glove......#Poème #gedicht #poetry #poem by Louise de Vilmorin (1902-1969)translated by Christopher Goldsack.Mon Cadavre Est Doux Comme Un Gant from the #song cycle Fiançailles Pour Rire by Francis Poulenc (1939).The last lines of this song are one of my favorite lines in #music ever. It’s so simple and pure, very emotional. The #words and the music really compliment each other. ...I’m practicing, here in my living room for my song recital, hence the shorts;). .En fair om te zeggen “ziet da broekske!”. ;)......#piano #yamaha #classicalmusic #opera #soprano

  • Got to hang out with the @thecavaliers and @wayne_bergeron tonight in Los Angeles. Breathtaking, heart-stopping musicianship, and easily the loudest acoustic music I have ever heard.

  • With @laurence_servaes, the love of my life. #altijdsamenspelen
