Published by David Warin Solomons (A0.576885). Setting of a poem by David Dunning extolling the virtues of idleness and its effects in each season. The sound sample was performed by the composer (alto and guitar) These are the words of the original poem: When autumn harvests are full grown and luscious fruits to me are shown, piled plump and rich till stomachs groan when autumn harvests are full grown ripe juices puddle on the tongue, and winter I forget in gurgling song. once when the fresh new spring was here I lavished though to sow the year oh dreaming seasons never interfere with worldly bounty, scorned the prudent song and prayed March winds to buffet time along Soon in the heat of summer haze I floundered on through deep green maize, where heavy herds lowed as they grazed, I saw that I would reap in thought among the rich; and time moved on with busy song, now in the heat of summer Now winter creeps between the sashes and rain upon the window lashes while wild wind moans round rafters dashes and I to annual poverty belong, yet know that spring flows richly on in song When autumn harvests are full grown and luscious fruits to me are shown, piled plump and rich till stomachs groan when autumn harvests are full grown ripe juices puddle on the tongue, and winter I forget in gurgling song.

Isaac Watts's tender Christmas poem Cradle Hymn (Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber) deserves a better tune than it has in many hymnals. I have employed the Welsh folk lullaby Suo Gan and arranged it for high-voice duet (either soprano and mezzo-soprano or tenor and baritone). The main vocal challenge is showing restraint and singing softly in the upper range, but singers and their audiences will be rewarded for the effort. .

Voice Duet Voice - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.578441 Composed by David Warin Solomons. 20th Century,Contemporary. 10 pages. David Warin Solomons #4804947. Published by David Warin Solomons (A0.578441). Mysterious duet based on this poem, with much use of harmonics on the guitar:(Technical note: the unusual chord in bars 7, 10, 11 etc is produced by placing fingers 1 and 2 of the left hand on the 6th and 7th fret of the G and D strings respectively and sweeping down as harmonics over the 19th fret with the right hand (index finger lightly touching the strings over the 19th fret and annular finger plucking the strings a little higher up). The result is unclear harmonics on the G and D strings, which is intentional, and clear octave-and-a-fifth harmonics on the other strings).
