Dejte klec jestřábu (Give the hawk a cage), Op. 55 No. 7 from Gypsy Songs (1880)
The melody featured in the middle of Pablo de Sarasate’s Zigeunerweisen is an important
part of Roma cultural heritage worldwide and has been sung in all recognisable Roma
languages.
“I was born a Roma child,
now I wander free and wild.
Nature’s child, what woes have I
while I roam beneath the sky?
‘Why d’you wander?’ people say,
I don’t know the answer anyway.
Let the migrant bird reply,
or the wandering star on high.”
Miritza Lundberg and Anna Kuvaja will introduce Sarasate’s piece by sharing the
background of both the composition and the original song. Lundberg will also perform the
theme, singing in various Roma dialects.
Pablo de Sarasate (1844—1908):
