Shadow Songs

By Kevin March

$40.00 Sale

Three songs for mezzo-soprano and piano, c.7'00
Words by Carl Sandburg

Innocence. Passion. Possession. Revulsion. These are the spices that flavor the love found in Shadow Songs. Chosen from a collection of unpublished poems by American poet Carl Sandburg, the cycle provides three glimpses into
a consuming love affair. Through the use of evocative, sensual imagery the listener is drawn through different phases of the relationship, while the performer, singing about the relationship in the third person, creates a sense of distance, as if singing about someone else.
Composed 1997

    Six Animal Songs (Isherwood)

    By Stephen Yates

    $30.00 Sale

    Med to low voice and piano. Each between 1 to 2 mins.

    These six songs are taken from a volume of nonsense poems entitled People one ought to know by Christopher Isherwood, written in 1922 to amuse himself and a young friend, the manuscript lay forgotten until the early 1980's when it was finally published.
    Though each of the poems bears the name of a member of the Animal Kingdom (Ferret, Elephant, Bat, Hippo, Cormorant, Giraffe), Isherwood clearly wishes the reader to identify a certain type of human animal, sometimes unpleasant, often perplexing or indeed just plain stupid. Sometimes though, the poet does ask us to view some poor hapless creature with a degree of compassion which is quite moving.
    Composed 1988
