Скачать или смотреть Madrigals @ KHS || DAEMON IRREPIT CALLIDUS

Performed October 3, 2019 in the main auditorium at Kingwood High School in Kingwood, Texas by the Madrigals of the Kingwood High School Choir, conducted by J. Watt. By way of introduction by the conductor: "So this next one is just fun and fleeting ... this is 'Daemon.'"

The text of this piece, composed by György Orbán, is as follows (according to a Trinity College Singers website):

Daemon irrepit calidus,
Allicit cor honoribus.
Quid amabile Daemon dat
Cor jesu minus aestimat
Daemon point frauds inter cantus,
Saltus, Daemon!
Caro venaratur sensibus;
Sen sus adhaeret dapibus;
In aescatur, impinguatur dilatatur.
Cordis Aestum non explebunt, non arcebunt, Daemon! Daemon!

Translation:

The Demon sneaks expertly
Tempting the honorable heart:
He sets forth trickery amidst praise, song and dance.
However amiably the Demon acts,
It is still worth less than the heart of Jesus.
The Flesh is tempted by sensuality;
Gluttony clings to our senses;
It overgrows, it encroaches, it stretches.
However appealing the Flesh is,
It is still worth less than the heart of Jesus.
Though the Universe may confer
Thousands upon thousands of praises,
They neither fulfill nor put out the desire of the heart.
However appealing the whole Universe is,
It is still worth less than the heart of Jesus.
