Douglas Moore (1893-1969) Silver Aria (Gold is a Fine Thing) Act 1, Scene 6 ║ The Ballad of Baby Doe (1956) Libretto by John Latouche

Brenna Loya, soprano John Hillebrandt, piano

Gold is a fine thing for those who admire it! Gold is like the sun, But I am a child of the moon and silver, Silver is the metal of the moon!

Secret smiler, wrapped in wonder, Floating in her cloudy magic, 'Tis the moon that mints her silver In the deeps of darkened earth.

All that's flowing, cool and tender Has the thrill of silver in it! Silver in an infant's laughter, Silver on the sage's brow, Silver in a moonlit river Echoes the silver orb above.

I am a child of the moon, And always will adore her element! Dreaming as I watch it gleam, I am mining heavenly ore.

Gold is the sun, but silver, Silver lies hidden in the core of dreams!

Please, gentlemen, please. Gold is a fine thing For those who admire it. Gold is like the sun, But I am a child Of the moon, and silver Is the metal of the moon. Secret-smiler, wrapped in wonder, Floating in her cloudy magic, 'Tis the moon that mints her silver In the deeps of darkened earth. All that's glowing, cool and tender Has the feel of silver in it-- Silver is an infant's laughter, Silver on the sage's brow, Silver on a moonlit river Echoes the silver orb above. I am a child of the moon And always Will adore her element, Dreaming as I watch it gleam, I am mining heavenly ore. Gold is the sun, But silver, silver lies hidden in the core of dreams.

"Gold is a fine thing", also known as The Silver Aria, from The Ballad of Baby Doe. Composed by Douglas Moore. Libretto by John Latouche.
