RHAPSODY FOR ALTO AND MALE CHORUS Music: Johannes Brahms Words: Johann von Goethe, from "Harzreise im Winter" English translation: Nick Jones Aber abseits, wer ist's? But who is this, alone? Ins Gebüsch verliert sich sein Pfad, Among the bushes he loses his path, Hinter ihm schlagen Behind him the shrubs die Sträuche zusammen, spring back together, Das Gras steht wieder auf, The grass stands up again, Die Öde verschlingt ihn. The wilderness swallows him. Ach, wer heilet die Schmerzen Ah, who can heal the sorrows Des, dem Balsam zu Gift ward? Of him for whom balm turns to poison? Der sich Menschenhass Who drank hatred of men Aus der Fülle der Liebe trank? From the fullness of love?

In unsatisfying self-absorption. Ist auf deinem Psalter, If there is upon thy psaltery, Vater der Liebe, Father of Love, Ein Ton seinem Ohre vernehmlich, One sound that can reach his ear, So erquicke sein Herz! then refresh his heart! Öffne den umwölkten Blick Open his clouded sight Über die tausend Quellen Upon the thousand springs Neben dem Durstenden in der Wüste. Near to him who thirsts in the desert.
When a composer wrote a piece of music for a certain occasionwhat was that called?
Generally this would be called a commission, for which the composer is paid an agreed-upon amount. It could also be called an "occasional" piece. An example of the latter would be Vaughan Williams's "Serenade to Music," which was written for a celebration of the career of British conductor Sir Henry Wood, and was set to a text from Shakespeare, to be sung by sixteen singers with whom the conductor had been associated. Very often, occasional pieces are less than memorable and don't outlive the occasion for which they're written. In the case of Vaughan Williams's "Serenade," the musical worth has outlived that first performance.

The great classical composer, Joseph-Maurice (Maurice) Ravel, was born in France, in the Basque; his mother was Basque, his father Swiss.
The family moved to Paris, where Ravel later entered the Paris Conservatory. He lived mostly in Paris, retiring to the French countryside in 1921.
He continued composing, and spent four months touring the US. In 1932 he was injured in a motor accident, and suffered recurring problems thought to be from his head injury, though this is not certain, as he'd shown symptoms prior to his accident.
In 1937 he agreed to experimental brain surgery, which he did not survive. He died on December 28, 1937, at the age of 62.
Ravel was buried with his parents in northwest Paris, in Levallois-Perret cemetery.
