--------------------------------------------

* From Das Stunden-Buch (The Book of Hours) by Rainer Maria Rilke, published 1905.

I am, you anxious one

I am, you anxious one. Do you not hear me with all my senses rush to claim you? My feelings, which have found wings, spin whitely about your countenance. See you not my soul, how close it stands in front of you in a garment of stillness? Does not my Maytime prayer ripen in your glance as upon a tree?

When you the dreamer be, I am your dream. If only you would wake, I’d be your will, and become master of all splendor and I grow to a sphere, I am like still stars, over the singular City of Time.

- literal trans. compiled by the composer

Ich bin, du Ängstlicher

Ich bin, du Ängstlicher. Hörst du mich nicht mit allen meinen Sinnen an dir branden? Meine Gefühle, welche Flügel fanden, umkreisen weiss dein Angesicht. Siehst du nicht meine Seele, wie sie dicht vor dir in einem Kleid aus Stille steht? Reift nicht mein mailiches Gebet an deinem Blicke wie an einem Baum?

Wenn du der Träumer bist, bin ich dein Traum. Doch wenn du wachen willst, bin ich dein Wille und werde mächtig aller Herrlichkeit und ründe mich wie eine Sternenstille über der wunderlichen Stadt der Zeit.

- Rainer Maria Rilke (1899, pub. 1905)*

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Reviewed as “audacious… edgy and thrilling,” the music of Abbie Betinis (b. 1980) is being performed increasingly in the United States and abroad, and has won awards from the American Composers Forum, ASCAP, the Jerome Foundation, and the Minnesota Music Educators Association, among others. A 2009 McKnight Artist Fellow, Abbie has fulfilled more than 40 commissions for new music from organizations including the Dale Warland Singers, Cantus, The Rose Ensemble, and The Schubert Club. Abbie studied composition at St. Olaf College, the University of Minnesota, and the European American Musical Alliance in Paris, France. Her music is published by Graphite Publishing, Kjos, Fred Bock Music, Santa Barbara Music Publishing, and in G. Schirmer’s Dale Warland Series, but she primarily publishes through her own venture, Abbie Betinis Music Co. Since 2005, Abbie has been Composer-in-Residence for The Schubert Club, the first arts organization in Minnesota. She has also held residencies with The Rose Ensemble and The Singers—Minnesota Choral Artists, and teaches composition at Concordia University-St. Paul. A three-time cancer survivor, she lives in St. Paul, MN.
