de Sir Thomas Wyatt the Elder:
00:28
"I find no peace, and all my war is done;

5000
"Nu găsesc pace, şi războiul meu s-a sfârşit;
00:33
I fear and hope, I burn and freeze like ice;
5
21000
7000
Mă tem şi sper, ard şi îngheţ ca gheaţa;
00:40
I fly above the wind,

28000
3000
Zbor deasupra vântului,
00:43
and yet I cannot arise;
7
31000
3000
şi totuşi nu mă pot ridica;
00:46
And naught I have,
8
34000
3000
Şi nimic nu am,
00:49
and all the world I seize upon."

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Nora York - Singer, performance artist"Philosopher diva" Nora York is an adventurous singer-songwriter with a drive to explore the human condition.
Why you should listen
Nora York is an adventurous jazz singer and performance artist whose genre-crossing work defies easy categorization. With a sultry, soulful voice and hypnotic stage presence, York has carved out a territory all her own — call her a "singer-songwriter-truthteller" (the Village Voice did). She brings a witty and literate twist to her performances, recombining songs and merging genres in thought-provoking ways.
Voice is at the center of York’s expression and creative invention, which emcompasses composition, live performance, and visual and multimedia arts. She's released four CDs: To Dream The World, Alchemy, What I Want (representing the outcome of the ‘02 NYSCA commission) and Power/Play. She has performed at universities and music festivals; most notably the Newport Jazz Festival, New Sounds Live series at Merkin Hall NYC, and Lincoln Center Out of Doors. York teaches musicianship and performance as member of the faculty at the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, New York University. For her latest project, York received a Robert Rauschenberg Foundation grant to write and present the multimedia concert Water Water Everywhere.
