about

Norwegian artist Susanna, the woman behind Susanna and the Magical Orchestra and a creator of bold, original and enrapturing music since 2004, is releasing a new EP, “The Harmony of Evening”, from her collaboration with The Norwegian Radio Orchestra. The EP is a follow-up to her highly acclaimed album called “Baudelaire & Orchestra’’ from 2023.

lyrics

Have patience, O my Sorrow, settle down.
You longed for Evening, Evening now is here:
A dusky air falls and enfolds the town,
To some men bringing peace, to others care.

While the dull mortal crowd, sweating beneath
The whip of Pleasure and his pitiless sway,
Reaps the remorse born of some servile feast,
Give me your hand, my Sorrow, come this way,

Far from them all. See the dead Years lean out
From Heaven’s balconies in faded robes;
See, rising from the deep, smiling Regret;

The dying Sun asleep beneath an arch;
And, like a long shroud trailing from the East,
Hear, love, that footfall... hear Night’s soft approach.
