Tu, paz mia… (2018) for choir. (Poem by Dulce Maria Loynaz) Commissioned by Seraphic Fire. Recording of Life performance by Seraphic Fire choir, conductor Patrick Dupre.

Tu, paz mia...

Aceite sobre mi mar en remolino,

Gusto, sal de mi vida

Tu, espejo milagroso

que no reflejas mis tinieblas

y reflejas la luz que ya no es mia.

Tu, jazmin dormido

Estrella descolgada

para mi cielo tan vacio....

Dulce Maria Loynaz

Translation to English

You, my peace

Like oil on a swirling ocean surface

I savor this, salt of my life

You, miraculous mirror

That doesn’t reflect my darkness

but reflects the light that is no longer mine

You, sleeping jasmine

Fallen star

In my sky so empty
