Oorspronklik

All the songs in The Voice of Desire are conversations between humans and birds. In each case, the birds seem to have a more sophisticated viewpoint that their human hearers. One of the highlights is Written On Terrestrial Things , set in a dead landscape at the dead of winter. Suddenly a joyus thrush melody breaks out, it's ecstatic expression is completely at odds with human perceptions of such a dismal evening, has nature something to remind us, if only we'd listen. The song cycle was commissioned by the BBC for Alice Coote, and first performed by her and Julius Drake. piano. in a BBC Proms Chamber Music concert in London on 11 August 2003.

Vertaling

Al die liedjies in The Voice of Desire is gesprekke tussen mense en voëls. In elk geval, die voëls lyk na 'n meer gesofistikeerde siening te hê dat hulle menslike hoorders. Een van die hoogtepunte is geskryf op Terrestrial Things, wat in 'n dooie landskap by die dood van die winter. Skielik het 'n joyus sproei melodie uitbreek, dit is in ekstase uitdrukking is heeltemal in stryd met menslike persepsies van so 'n somber aand, het die natuur iets om ons te herinner, as ons net wil luister. Die lied siklus is in opdrag van die BBC vir Alice Coote, en vir die eerste keer deur haar en Julius Drake. plan. in 'n BBC Proms Kamermusiek konsert in Londen op 11 Augustus 2003.
