Nola Richardson and John Armato perform "Go, lovely Rose"

[@joaohenriquegrossisadjunio9039]

I wonder if the lady knows Ezra Pound's lines about another beautiful singer, who sang him "once that song of Lawes", and who went "with song upon her lips [...] some other mouth, maybe as fair as hers, might, in new ages, gain her worshippers..." "Tell her that sheds Such treasure in the air, Recking naught else but that her graces give Life to the moment [...]"

Thank you for sharing this- how beautiful!

Also, Nola is a terrific singer!

Recking naught else but that her graces give life to the moment I would bid them live as roses might, in magic amber laid, Red overwrought with orange and all made' One substance, and one color Braving time.... there's more, and it's one of the most beautiful, exquisite poems in the English language, called "Envoi," from Hugh Selwyn Mauberley.

Really beautiful performance! I'm an early music soprano at IU for my masters right now and am wondering what manuscript this lovely piece was in! Thanks!

This information may no longer be relevant to you (or you may have learned it elsewhere, or I may simply have misunderstood your question), but I think it's from Lawes' Second Book of Ayres and Dialogues for One, Two, and Three Voyces.
