First line of Text
Like beautiful bodies of the dead who had not grown old
,
He must be scarcely twenty-two years old
,
I was bored looking at the stage
,
He finished the painting
,
They were both deeply grieved
,
Return often and take me

Years ago, I read a review of a recording of Schumann songs by mezzo-soprano Brigitte Fassbaender. Several songs had texts in a "male voice", and the reviewer discussed at length the double standard that allows women to sing songs intended for male singers, while disapproving of the reverse. Furthermore, while men and women can sing about each other, and women can sing about women, there are few works in which men sing about men. Of Passion's Tide is my contribution to this scant repertoire. The poems were written in the 1910s and '20s by C. P. Cavafy, used here in Rae Dalven's English translation from the original Greek. I selected these particular poems from Cavafy's collected works because they fell nicely into an umbrella storyline of an older man reflecting on a relationship from his youth. The first song, Desires, expresses the importance of acting on one's feelings while one has the chance. In the second song, The Next Table, he sees a young man at a café who reminds him of his past love. The next three songs chronicle that relationship from its rapturous beginning to its unavoidable ending. Finally, Return expresses his yearning to rediscover those sensations of his youth.
