La moche pâtisserie (The tacky cake shop) for cor anglais and guitar by David Warin Solomons English Horn - Digital Sheet Music

Song originally written for voice and ostinato guitar in memory of the final meeting with my lover in a Strasbourg patisserie back in 1977:Voilà plus de trente jours, mon amour,Que nous nous sommes quittésOn ne se faisait plus la courNos coeurs n'ont même pas luttéDans cette moche pâtisserieUn autre t'a tapé dans l'oeilCe qui ne me touchait plusCar j'étais sur le seuil d'une autre vieToute inconnue, loin de cette moche pâtisserieMa vie nouvelle aux amis nouveauxNe te touche pas, loin du RhinOn s'oubliera, âmes et peaux,Mais rappelons la joie, le bon et le bienD'avant cette moche pâtisserie....[It's been over 30 days, my love,that we left each otherWe no longer courtedOur hearts did not even struggleIn that tacky cake shopAnother took your fancyAnd it didn't bother meBecause I was on the threshhold of another life Quite unknown, far from that tacky cake shopMy new life with new friendsDoes not affect you, far from the RhineWe'll forget each other, souls and skins,But let's recall the joy and good timesFrom before that tacky cake shop]The sound sample is an electronic previewThe pdf file contains score and parts.
