NICHTFÜRVERTRIEBAUFFÜHRUNGEN DURCH MUSIKUNDBÜHNE www.musikundbuehne.de

People are evil when they kill each other. Today the Germans are roaring like animals towards their Führer.

Later on... Later on... yet another Goethe will ascend among them.

Hear what Goethe says:

”Thus mine eyes were opened for the holy and almighty nature, and I embraced it all in my throbbing heart.” My friends, listen: The world is beautiful! Look at Norway! Fjords, the sea, mountains, snow, waterfalls, sky... Sometimes it is really wonderful to be alive.

(The WOMAN who didn´t want to sing ”Beauty around us” is now starting to sing, and one after the other, PEOPLE are joining her.)

ENSEMBLE:

“BEAUTY AROUND US. GLORY ABOVE US.

LOVELY IS EARTH AND THE SMILING SKIES…”

(GUNVOR and RUTH see each other for the first time. RUTH is very aware of GUNVOR. Over ”Beauty around us”, GUNVOR and RUTH sing Ruth´s poem “To a girlfriend”.)

GUNVOR: WHEN I STEPPED BACK FOR THE FIRST TIME, BLINDED BY YOUR EYES... IT WASN´T OUR FIRST TIME.

RUTH: WHEN I STEPPED BACK FOR THE FIRST TIME, BLINDED BY YOUR EYEs... IT WASN´T OUR FIRST TIME. IT WAS OUR REUNION.

GUNVOR & RUTH:

LOVELY AS ONCE WHEN TIME WAS YOUNGER. TO ME IT FELT LIKE WE HAD FOR AGES WALKED TOGETHER. YOU AND ME TOGETHER ON SUNNY PATHWAYS.
