LYRICS

48/40

48 hours of no sleep
40 days turning inside me
Lit inside of me
48 hours of all need
40 days frozen inside me

Sentimental to the core
Take it all and then some more
Always more
All these imitated dreams
Never know just what they mean

Demimonde

Hey baby
Let’s go out tonight
I don’t wanna feel this way
Hey baby
Let’s go feel all right
Wear that smile on your face

Forget all your troubles
Forget them tonight

Gloria

In gloria Dei Patris
In gloria Dei Patris
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Deus Dominus, et illuxit nobis
Omnes
Omnes
Deus
Hosanna in excelsis
Miserere nobis
Sempiternam
Sempiternam

Late August

When the sky falls down
We’ll be turning every shadow on the ground
Close your eyes and feel the strain
Let me hold you
While we’re waiting for the rain

Falling
Falling inside me
A feeling that’s fading
A feeling in gold

Hiding
Deep inside me
A summer that’s turning
It’s turning away

Cry like a yearning
That’s burning
Far away
Cool the pressure
Inside us
From the day

Info

Martin Hall’s soundtrack to Gladsaxe Teater’s major 2002 launch The Lady of the Camellias was met by overwhelming reviews. All newspapers and magazines unanimously gave the album top ratings and called it Martin Hall’s perhaps best album ever! With the words of leading Danish lifestyle magazine Nat & Dag: “Hall hasn’t got his equal in Denmark, and when he then, close to his 25-year jubilee as an active musician and composer, at a time when most others seem satisfied to rest on their laurels, produces some of his finest works, well, then there are plenty of good reasons to take off one’s hat, dip the flag or however else you want to show your respect”.

The record – which is the closest MH has ever been to a regular classical recording – also received high scores on different international websites such as Grenzwellen who made it “Album des Monats” (Album of the month).

The album has taken its title from the film version from 1936 in which Greta Garbo stars in the leading role as Marguerite Gautier, and among the soloists on the album is Danish-Italian mezzo-soprano Andrea Pellegrini who performs three arias out of the record’s all in all 14 compositions. The cd was recorded in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Hamburg, Germany, with the orchestra The Vista Dome Ensemble and the choir Konsort, featuring MH himself as both director and producer of the album. The end title “Late August” is performed by Saccharin vocalist Katja Andersson.

The leading parts of the theatre performance was played by Danish film star Stine Stengade and intending upcomer Thure Lindhardt. The play itself was (re-)written and directed by Flemming Enevold, based upon Alexandre Dumas’ original manuscript. The set design was made by Louise Beck of Operanord and all costumes were designed by the internationally acclaimed Danish designer Joergen Simonsen. The play premiered at January 20, 2002 and ran until April 21.
