Hebrew Melodies is both a book of songs with lyrics written by Lord Byron set to Jewish tunes by Isaac Nathan as well as a book of poetry containing Byron's lyrics alone. The version with musical settings was published in April 1815 by John Murray; though expensive at a cost of one guinea, over 10,000 copies sold. In the summer of the same year Byron's lyrics were published as a book of poems. The ''melodies'' include the famous poems "She Walks in Beauty", "The Destruction of Sennacherib" and "Vision of Belshazzar". A full list is: * She Walks in Beauty * The Harp the Monarch Minstrel swept * If that high world * The Wild Gazelle * Oh! weep for those * On Jordan's banks * Jephtha's Daughter * Oh! snatch'd away in beauty's bloom * My soul is dark * I saw thee weep * Thy days are done * It is the hour * Warriors and Chiefs * We sate down and wept by the waters of Babel * Vision of Belshazzar * Herod's Lament for Mariamne * Were my bosom as false as thou deem'st it to be * The Destruction of Sennacherib * Thou whose spell can raise the dead * When coldness wraps this suffering clay * Fame, wisdom, love, and power were mine * From the last hill that looks on thy once holy dome * Francisca * Sun of the sleepless * Bright be the place of thy soul * I speak not – I trace not – I breathe not * In the valley of waters * A spirit pass'd before me * They say that Hope is happiness 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hebrew Melodies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
