Published by David Warin Solomons (A0.1059809). Scorehttps://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/20166613?aff_id=175705Performed by Ágnes Jakab (cor anglais) and András Csáki (guitar)Instrumental duo which speaks for itself and can be interpreted in a personal way by any who had a child (or who wished they could have had one). The melody wanders from nostalgic thoughts to brief smiling moments of remembrance and back to regret.For those who recognise traditional liturgical melodies, you may note that the guitar quotes the "Gloria in excelsis Deo" for time to time, as a sign of hope.The original song, for alto and guitar, was based on a poem by Carol Rumens:The girl in the CathedralDaring to watch over Martyrs and Archbishopsstretched in their full length slumberSharp-nosed Deans Princes and Knights still dressed for wars,as dim as bronzeslim feet at rest upon the flanks of long unwhistled houndsDaring the chills and dusts that cling to stiffly soaring branchesThis small eloquence is a stone so plainit cannot go unreada chiselled spray of drooping budsa name a date an ageSusannah Starr died at ten years oldand nobody knows why her timid presenceshould be commended herewhile history filled the logbooks of these livesshe sat aparta wellbred child perhapspatient with tutors and needlepointperhaps a foundling saved by some lean churchmanwarming to his dutyQuietly during eighteen o fourthe blind was drawnthe halfstitched sampler foldedWhoever mourned her must have carried weightand bought her this pale spaceto ease his grief,as if such sainted company could speed her journeying soulor because he guessed the power of one short nameand "ten years old"to strip all the clothesfrom all these emperorsand rouse her simple ghostour pointless tears.
