SONG CYCLE FOR TENOR AND PIANO
Program Notes:
Amy Lowell’s verses for children brought back many flashbacks from my childhood – a period of exploration, discovery, and achieving little victories that we as adults often take for granted. My approach while composing the songs was to constantly shift between the perspectives of a child and an adult in interpreting the given situations.
A Dome of Many-Coloured Glass was commissioned by Joe Dan Harper and Anne Kissel Harper and was made possible by a grant from the St. Botolph Club Foundation.
