Tchaikovsky Meek Modest Tchaikovsky Usatov 1847 1883 1884 1885 1913 1940
Tchaikovsky: Six Romances, Op. 57 (1884) V. Death (Смерть) Moderato (F major) Tchaikovsky's Six Romances (Шесть романсов), Op. 57 (TH 105 ; ČW 275-280), were mostly written between September and November 1884, except for No. 1 which is from an earlier date. Instrumentation: Scored for high voice (Nos. 1, 5), medium voice (Nos. 3, 4), baritone (No. 2) or low voice (No. 6), with piano accompaniment. Tchaikovsky made minor changes to the texts of the poems used in On the Golden Cornfields (No. 2), Do Not Ask! (No. 3), Sleep! (No. 4), and more significant changes in Only You Alone (No. 6). Movements: V. Death (Смерть) Moderato (F major) If the roses fall silently If the stars fade in the sky The waves crash on the rocks, The ray of dawn on the clouds goes out, It's death, death. This is death, but without a painful struggle; This is death, captivating beauty, Promises a delightful rest, The best gift of all-good nature. She, the teacher of the divine, Learn, people, to die, So that with a meek and solemn smile, So that with a meek and solemn smile, Meekly meet your end. Dmitry Merezhkovsky, from an untitled poem (by 1883). Composition: The earliest of the romances to be written was Tell Me, What in the Shade of the Branches? (No. 1). In a letter to Pyotr Jurgenson of 1/13 December 1884 (see below). the composer expressed his surprise at this discovery of this romance, which it seems he had forgotten about. The exact time and place of its composition are uncertain. On the Golden Cornfields (No. 2) and Do Not Ask (No. 3) were composed at Pleshcheyevo in late September 1884. Before the rough draft of No. 2 in the composer's notebook is the date "Pleshcheyevo, 26 Sept 1884". Do Not Ask (No. 3) was composed next, and its text was probably chosen by Tchaikovsky after he read Goethe's novel The Apprenticeship of Wilhelm Meister("God, how marvellous this is..."), which he found in Nadezhda von Meck's library at Pleshcheyevo [4]. The remaining three romances were written in Paris between 19 November/1 December (the date of his arrival) and 1/13 December 1884, when Tchaikovsky wrote to Pyotr Jurgenson: "I was very surprised to learn that Komissarzhevsky has my romance. Incidentally, I already have another five. Congratulations to you on my new opus". Writing to Modest Tchaikovsky from Paris on 3/15 December 1884, the composer reported: "I cannot say that I am bored from idleness. I managed here to devise the main revisions to Vakula, and to write three new romances, and one church number". Publication: The romances were published by Jurgenson in April 1885, and in 1940 they were included in volume 45 of Tchaikovsky's Complete Collected Works, edited by Ivan Shishov and Nikolay Shemanin. Autographs: Tchaikovsky's manuscript scores of Nos. 2 to 6 are now preserved in the Russian National Museum of Music in Moscow (ф. 88, No. 143). The autograph of No. 1 is lost. Dedication: Each romance is dedicated to a different person: V. Dmitry Usatov (1847–1913), tenor who premiered the role of Andrey in Mazepa.

Charles Hackett sings 'Dans la foret,' recorded in New York on 22 October 1925. The harp is played by Sepp Murscher. From Wikipedia: Charles Hackett (November 4, 1889 – January 1, 1942) sometimes referred to as Carlo Hackett, was an American tenor. He was born on November 4, 1889 in Worcester, Massachusetts. Hackett studied first at the New England Conservatory in Boston with Arthur J. Hubbard, and later with Vincenzo Lombardi in Florence. He made his stage debut in Genova, as Wilhelm Meister in Mignon, in 1914. He sang in Italy and South America, before making his debut at the Metropolitan Opera on January 31, 1919, as Almaviva. He appeared there for three seasons, also as Lindoro, Roméo, Il duca di Mantova, Alfredo, Rodolfo, Pinkerton, Wilhelm Meister, Cavaradossi, Don Ottavio, Vincent and Des Grieux. He also sang at the Lyric Opera of Chicago from 1923 until 1934. He returned to the Metropolitan on February 3, 1934 as Roméo, and performed there for another five years. Hackett made a number of recordings for Edison and Columbia, notably duets with Maria Barrientos and Rosa Ponselle, in which one can appreciate a singer with a fine technique and a certain elegance. He died on New Year's Day, January 1, 1942 in Manhattan, New York City. I transferred this side from my copy of Australian Columbia 03542.

Recorded by Pierre Gouin on the organ. 'Di rigori armato il seno' is from Act I of 'Der Rosenkavalier' by Richard Strauss. Set in the boudoir of the Marschallin, Princess Werdenburg of Vienna, an Italian tenor demonstrates his talent for the Marschallin. Considered a leading composer of the late Romantic and early modern eras, Strauss (1864 – 1949) has been described as a successor of Richard Wagner and Franz Liszt.
