Canticum Canticorum
Bob Worth
Picture
Barry Moser from "The Song of Songs"
(1990)
Let us see if the vines have budded,
​if the pomegranates are in bloom.
Picture
Barry Moser "The Lovers"
(1999)
Behold, you are fair, my love. Behold, beautiful one, your eyes are doves.
Picture
Barry Moser from "The Song of Songs"
(1990)
Like a mare among stallions.
You lure, I am held
Bob Worth plays motets based upon the Old Testament 'Song of Songs' (sometimes called the 'Song of Solomon'). Selections in three languages from three centuries will be woven together with commentary on the music and on the text and its various translations.
