Timothy Valentine

De Lamentations de Jérémie.

[Tim]

(1959 – )

Guitariste et compositeur américain, il écrit et arrange avec son frère Peter Valentine, une pièce intitulée Lamentation pour chœur mixte SATB, solo et assemblée, accompagnement piano, ou guitare, fl. et vlc, qui s'inspire des Lamentations de Jérémie (2004), v. 2:2, 10-14, 18-19.

I've always loved the Lamentations. I especially like the reference to them in Evelyn Waugh's novel, "Brideshead Revisited."

Le texte en est le suivant :

Jerusalem, turn back to your God!
1. Come all you who pass by the way; come and look and see
Whether there is ana agony like the pain that was given to me,
For my eyes, affliction have seen on that great and terrible day.
O Lord, turn to look an behold how degraded I stay.
Jerusalem, turn back to your God!
2. Look upon my anguish, O Lord; all within me fails
For my heart is grieved at the thought of this sin, when I think of the evil it caused.
And behold, outside has the sword been used to vanquish my young,
As inside the gates of my home the famine destroys.
But I will call one thing to mind, as it is my reason to hope:
Gods favors are not exhausted; his mercy will never end!
(Intermède guitare)
3. Cry out from your heart to the Lord; daughter, Zion, cry!
Let your tears become like a torrent that flows day and night; never wipe them dry.
Let there be no respite for you as you pour your heart out to God
And lift up your hands to the Lord, that your young be restored.
Jerusalem, turn back to your God!
