The texts for these songs span many centuries—from Richard Barnfields In Praise of Music and Poetry (published in 1598) to the uplifting Everyone Sang, written by Siegfried Sassoon at the end of World War I. There is even a reference to Merlin, of King Arthur’s court, in Emerson’s opening poem Merlin’s Song.

English. Song of Solomon 8:6-7.

Part of the collection Love Shall Live Forever. She Walks in Beauty begins with a piano introduction allowing time to enter the poetic world of Lord Byron. A simple melody is accompanied by steady, walking rhythms. Although the original poem speaks only of the woman (beloved)- reverently, objectively- this new interpretation inserts a verse to include the man (lover), thus creating a love song for a couple. He walks in courage...they walk in beauty, O love! The piece concludes with a quote from the Song of Solomon (Set Me As A Seal). Duration: 3:00.

Composed by Kirke F. Mechem. Christmas. 4 pages. E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital #8734-E. Published by E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital (MQ.8734-E).

Kirke Mechem composed the Seven Joys of Christmas for the Chamber Singers of the San Francisco College for Women. He set out with the goal of setting lesser-known, but none the less attractive, carols from different countries in order to paint different aspects of joy for the Christmastide. He employed the number Seven because it is considered a magical number (as it is applies to mystery in the liturgy). The final carol, God bless the master of this house, is an amusing combination of all the carols in the composition, in addition to other well-known Christmastide melodies. In certain passages, two, three, even four different carols are being performed at the same time!

The texts for this set of three songs are mostly from the 19th century, but the sentiments are ageless. The special imagery in each of the poems finds its way into the musical setting. Evening Song features moonlight sparkling on glimmering waves. The Cloths of Heaven has the lover yearning to give his beloved beautiful gifts. She Walks in Beauty provides a strong close to the set, with a quote from the Song of Solomon (Set Me As A Seal) as a coda.
