L’oeuvre

Avant Aristote (384-322 av. J.C.) et Platon (c.428-c.348 av. J.C.), avant Bouddha (VI ou V s. av. J.C.) ou Confucius (551-479 av. J.C.), à une époque où le calendrier comptait dix mois, l’année 354 jours et où les gens mesuraient le temps d’après le soleil, l’écrivain grec Ésope (fin VII et début VIe s. av. J.C.) racontait ses fables. Il est né esclave dans l’ancien pays de Phrygie (aujourd’hui Turquie) et en fut libéré grâce à ses fameuses fables racontant les faiblesses et défaillances du genre humain en camouflant ses personnages en animaux.En l’an 560 av. J.C., âgé de 60 ans et en mission à l’Oracle de Delphes ses récits lui valurent également la mort. Les Delphiens, profondé-ment offensés par les sarcasmes mordants qu’il leur adressa dans l’une de ses fables, le jetèrent d’une falaise à proximité de la cité.Inspiré par le fond de cinq de ces fables, Anthony Plog a conçu ses propres textes, adaptés à sa musique.

The work

Before Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) and Plato (c.428-c.348 B.C.), before Bud-dha (VI or V c. B.C.) and Confucius (551-479 B.C.), in an age when the calendar had ten months, the year had 354 days, and people told time with a sun dial, Aesop (end of VII, beginning VI c. B.C.) told his fables. He was born into slavery in the ancient country of Phrygia (now Turkey) and earned freedom by exposing the foibles and fail-ings of human character through the telling of “beast tales”.In the year 560 B.C., when Aesop was 60 years old, the telling also earned him his death while on a mission to the Oracle at Delphi. The Delphians, deeply offended by the critical sarcasm directed at them in one of his fables, hurled him to his death from a cliff out-side the city.Inspired by five of these fables, Anthony Plog has written a text based on these fables that he has then set to music.

Das Werk

Vor Aristoteles (384-322 v. Chr.) und Plato (c. 428-c. 348 v. Chr.), vor Buddha (VI oder V s. v.Chr.) und Konfuzius (551-479 v. Chr.), in einer Zeit wo der Kalender zehn Mona-te zählte, das Jahr 354 Tage und die Zeit nach der Sonne ermessen wurde, erzählte der griechische Dichter Aesop (Ende VII. – Anfang VI. Jh. v. Chr.) seine Fabeln. Er war als Sklave im alten Land Phrygien (heute Türkei) geboren und wur-de befreit Dank seiner Tierfabeln, die die Schwächen und Fehler der Menschheit darstellten.Anno 560 v. Chr., als der 60jähri-ge Aesop beim Orakel von Delphi sprach, wurden ihm seine Erzäh-lungen zum tödlichen Verhäng-nis. Die Anwesenden, tiefstens gekränkt vom bissigen Sarkasmus seiner Fabeln, stiessen ihn unweit der Stadt von einem Felsen.Anthony Plog hat sich von fünf Fabeln inspiriert, seine eigenen Texte gestaltet und seiner Musik angepasst.

I. The Mule

It's me. It's me, the mule.[Spoken] But before you laugh, you should know this: I'm royalty … … I'm not just a mule - can't you see?I hate to gloat, but when I run I float. I am a thing of beauty, can't you see? It's me, the mule, and I'm so very cool. Perhaps you'd like to know how I became so vain. Just ask and I will tell you how I turned out to be fast.My destiny comes from the family tree, so can't you see I'm born of royalty, because my mother is a horse that loves to race, and that explains my style and grace. She was the best and better than the rest, she was a jewel and not an ordinary mule, and so I like to dance and prance. I'll demonstrate why I'm so great right now.Don't I just glide when I hit my stride?Nobility, it is the key that let's me be what I can be, of course my mother was a horse, and that explains the very source that let's me be so free, now can't you see my pride is in my stride. See how I dance, see how I prance. I am so very beautiful, I am so capable. Now see me run, isn't this fun, I'll show you why I'm second to none. I have such style and grace. No one can run at my pace. And when I run it is like I have wind in my sail. There is no way I can fail, but I'm feeling so beat. It must be just the heat that makes me slow. Where's the flow? Can't go. I can't move. Lost the groove. What is wrong?I should have remembered that even though my mother was a race horse, my father was a donkey. I guess there are two sides to every truth.

II. The Hare and the Tortoise

Hare: Such a lovely day, if I have my way I'll stay in town, find a place safe and sound where I won't be found. And I'll have a jolly time, it will be fine, but what is this I see that plods … in … front of me?Tortoise: I am the tortoise.Hare: You are so ugly. And so slow.Tortoise: I may be slow, but I can beat you in a race.Hare: Beat me in a race? Have you lost your mind? Look me in the face because I'm one of a kind.Tortoise: Kindly Sir, I think you might have guessed I may not be the best, I may be small, not tall, but I can win this race.Hare: Have you gone crazy or is your mind a little hazy? I'm so much better, I'm so great from head to toe and paw to paw.Tortoise: I'm sort of slow, but as you know I will not quit.Hare: So let's begin the race, pick up the pace, can you get moving? Now could you do your part, I'd like to start, 'cause I am grooving, and they say that haste makes waste, but that's a lie, I'll show you why, I'm such a show and you're so slow, I am the best, you're such a pest, get ready, steady, one, two, three, let's go. I'm so fast, see me run and I'm having so much fun, what a joke, what a foe, my opponent is so slow. So you see it is me who will win the race, not he.Tortoise: I may be slow, I'm the Tortoise but I'll win this race.Hare: [spoken:] Whew, I'm fast! I can't even see the tortoise now, so ... why not take a break? I think I'll eat

some grass ... And why not drink some water? I still don't see him. Boy, is he slow! No rush now, so I think I'll stretch out a little. [lies down falls asleep]Tortoise: I know I'm slow, he's fast, so my task is just to be consistent and always be persistent, don't stop.Hare: [begins to wake up] What happened? I fell asleep so deep, what do I see? Can it be he? [spoken:] The tortoise has passed me!Hare: I'm slow but steady.Hare: Step on the gas, I'll make a dash. How can this be? What do I see? Can it be him? How did he win?[Tortoise crosses the finish line.]Violin 1: [spoken:] Slow but steady wins the race.

III. The Fox and The (Billy) Goat

Violin 1 [spoken:] One day a very thirsty fox came upon a well in the forest.Fox: [smells the ground, searching] Where can I find some water? I'm so thirsty, I can smell it near me. [follows his nose into a well]. Cool, cool water tastes so good, it's so fresh, it's the best in these woods. Now it's time to find myself some food [climbs up, falls down]. One foot above the other and here we go ... [slips while climbing out] … [and falls into the well] … down. [pause] Oh, oh. [he tries again.....slips again........and again] I'm trapped, so what can I do? [sits down to think - then he hears, from a distance, and getting closer ...]Billy Goat: As I make my way along the forest path today I see it's time that I begin another rhyme.Fox: [spoken:] What was that?Billy Goat: What is that just here in front of me, which is beside that old oak tree? It is a well, I clearly see. What is that I hear from far below, and could it be a friend or foe, in any case I can't say no. [stops, looks down into the well in puzzlement and says:] Hey, what are you doing down in that well, Mister Fox?Violin 1 [spoken:] Being a Billy Goat, that was the most intelligent thing he could think to say.Fox: Hey, join me for a drink. Climb on down, it's not as deep as you would really think. You'd be out of here and on your way in just a wink.Billy Goat: [The Billy Goat can't resist, climbs into the well, and begins to drink]. This is so good. But I fear I'm late. So where is the gate?Fox: So where is the gate?Billy Goat: Yes, where is the gate?Fox: Gate? There is no gate.Billy Goat: What? So we're stuck in here, that much is quite clear.Fox: Clearly you have no imagination.Billy Goat: What?Fox: All you need is some determination.Billy Goat: What?Fox: [thinks to himself, comes up with an idea] First you put your feet up here. Put them up against the wall. This will work, please have no fear, I promise that I will not fail. Then you point your head up high. Up on your horns I will then climb. To the top I then will try to go, so please give me a big heave-ho, now hurry up, it's getting late, let's go, we shouldn't wait.Billy Goat: [the Billy Goat ponders this, then ... …] Do you think we really can escape?Fox: Yes, I do because I know that freedom is our fate.Billy Goat: It's our fate?Fox: [nods yes]Billy Goat: Then let's escape!Fox: Step right here, up we go, have no fear, and we are going to find a way out. Up and up shows that we're not stuck , this is tough, huff and puff, what a fight. We'll succeed in this deed, but I need your help, so please move your hands just like a cup, and now lift me up, so don't you see you're the key, one more push and I am free.Fox and Billy Goat: Whew!Fox: [pause, then:] Hey!Billy Goat: We made it, we made it, we made it! We did it, we did it, we did it!Fox: I made it, I made it, I made it!

Billy Goat: What?Fox: I made it, I made it, I made it! [begins to walk away]Billy Goat: Wait! Wait! Mister Fox, please come back here to me, I beg that you will set me free.Fox: [the Fox comes back, looks down the well, and sings …] Ha! You old Billy Goat, you are such a joke because you cannot think ahead, and here you're stuck in all this muck, so now this well will be your bed.Violin 1 [spoken:] And after the Fox left, the Billy Goat finally realized his mistake ... Never begin anything without thinking of the end result.

IV. The Wind and The Sun

Wind: I am the Wind.Sun: I am the Sun and before we begin we should tell of our fight. I think that I am right, he/she is wrong. That is our plight.Wind: And this much is true ... that my friend has no clue what to do with his/her strength. Here is what I suggest, that we have some sort of contest to see who's the best.Sun: What is it we should do? Cause I haven't a clue. Could you please explain your little game?Wind: See that man way down there?Sun: Not a thought, not a care.Wind: Who can remove his coatSun: surely should get the vote.Wind: And when we're finally doneSun: then we will know who's won.Wind and Sun: This test will show who's the best.Sun: Please be my guest.Wind: I'm dying to show just how strong I can blow. [spoken:] I'll go first. [blows:] whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh.Sun: [spoken:] But he shivers and he quivers.Wind: [spoken:] Well, if he's colder, I must be bolder [blows:] whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh [spoken:] But he's pulling his coat tighter.Sun: [spoken:] My turn! [sung:] Dear mister cloud, I won't be loud, but you cannot stay. Please fly away. I am the Sun and when I'm done you will see I've won, 'cause I don't use force, that is my source. So I'll shine down on him. I'll make him warm, I'll do no harm, so please take note, off goes his coat. [spoken:] So now you know: gentle persuasion is always better than force.

V. The Mouse and The Lion

Lion: I am the King and when I sing the countryside tries to hide because I am a terrifying beast. I know that I bring tales of woe, I'll say at least I know who is a friend and who is a foe. Now to sleep so deep that I won't hear a peep but what is that, I think I smell a rat .You're not a rat, you're just a little mouse.Mouse: Please, Mister Lion, if you please, please don't eat me.Lion: Why not?Mouse: Because I might help you some day. I could surely find a way.Lion: Do explain, if you please.Mouse: Please, Mister Lion, I don't want to die, and I promise that I'll do my best to try. You have my vow.Lion: But how can you know whom you're talking to? I am the King of everything, so I can sense your fear. It's so clear. But I know at least you're not my foe, so you can go.Mouse: You mean I'm free - can that really be?Lion: [nods yes]Mouse: Please have no doubt I'll help you out, just call on me and you will see.Lion: But I am tired and you are wired like a bunch of bees, so please not one more peep, because I want to

go to sleep.Viola [spoken]: And with that, the Lion fell soundly asleep and slept through the night.Violin 1 [spoken]: The next day came bright and clear, and the Lion decided to take his morning walk.Lion: Was that a dream? Why did it seem so real that I would give up a meal on a deal with a mouse? Was I too fair? What do I care, so now she's free and I'm so hungry. I'll just eat the food that's in that net. [spoken:] Net? Net? What net? What is this? - I've just stepped into a hunter's net! [shouts:] Help, help, I'm caught, please help me! [etc., the Lion improvises] … [sings:] Who is this?Mouse: Please, Mister Lion in your net, it is me and I will repay my debt, just for you I will bite, I will chew with all my might, you can count on me to set you free, you should know, I'll be fast, here I go with my task. I'll succeed, you'll be free in a minute.Lion: You have set me free! Well, Mister Mouse, you sure kept your vow. Won't you please tell me how after you take a bow.Mouse: As you know, I'm not so very tall, I'm small but I can fight and I can bite right through that net and so repay my debt to you.Lion: It is a riddle how someone so little and so manic could save someone so gigantic, I don't see.Mouse: See, it's me and it's a fact that any act of kindness is never mindless.Mouse & Lion: Any act of kindness is never mindless.
