Let us see if the vines have budded,
if the pomegranates are in bloom. |
Behold, you are fair, my love. Behold, beautiful one, your eyes are doves.

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.
