Iosif Andriasov: "To The Mother-Earth," Op. 25 for Baritone, 4 Trombones, 2 (or more) Harps, and Mixed Choir Music Score.
Iosif Andriasov wrote the Cantata “To the Mother-Earth” for Baritone solo, Four Trombones, Two (or more) Harps, and Mixed Choir in 1970, poetry by Vladimir Lazarev. “To the Mother-Earth” (Lento Maestoso, A Major, 6/4 time, 37 measures) is a majestic hymn to our planet, the Earth.
Я тебе благодарен за то, что рождён, I am grateful to you for being born,
И твоей правотою и болью крещён. And am christened by your righteousness and pain.
Припев. Refrain.
Я отдам тебе жизнь, I will lay down my life for you
Будет воля твоя, If it will be your will,
Родина! Mother-Earth!
А живая вода – это щедрость твоя, But a water of life is your generosity,
Родина. Mother-Earth.
Чистой радости свет в родниках затаён, The light of pure joy is hidden in the springs, Родина… Mother-Earth…
Да святится высокое имя твоё, Let your name be holy,
Родина! Mother-Earth!
Ты меня одарила и силу дала You endowed me and gave me strength
Быть солдатом добра, не прощающим зла. To be a soldier of goodness, not forgiving evil.
Припев. Refrain.
Не дают мне покоя страданья Земли, I have no peace while there is suffering on earth,
Сбереги всё живое вблизи и вдали. Cherish every living thing near and far away.
Припев. Refrain.
From the book: “Essays on the Music of Iosif Andriasov.”
