Music and song composed by me

THE LAST MY FLOWER (the wolf and the witch)

 

I look at my last flower

It loses its scentand I do not know what to do

I protect you with warmthof this other story I have to tell

 

creatures alone and desperate

many scars heal

a witch and a wolf

do not know yet

that their destinies are to merge

 

and starts this magical storysweet

as ancient fable

in a forest with no place and no age

out of touch

 

and the time is stopped and does not move a breath

and the heart, explodes and skip a beat

and look you recognize

like not having never lost

 

and the wolf that is injured

a white rose in red has turned

He is bleeding along with drops of pain

his red eyes burning with love

 

and the witch instead hides

because she isn't beautiful and it is not important

nobody in the world has never belonged

and a caress he never touched

 

she care and caresses the soul

he looks at her and his anger dominates

and one year only lasts a moment

lost in eternity

 

and the wolf tells tales

and the witch makes magic potions

and exchange promises useless

that the night  guard

 

and she will dance

will dance naked

and the wolf with his heart on his

sleevelying by the fire that lights up,

so free

unobstructed

and are reflected in the magic lake

and do not feel that cold shiver...

not last, do not you feel it too?cold around  us

 

Abracadabra !! from caterpillar to butterfly

Alakazam !! and I too am beautiful

do not you wonder how and why

I started to talk to me

snow fallsbut we are in August

and there is nothing

that you find a place

this my music speaks for it self

this is the strangest tale that is

 

I stop here

It will end well

I can not tell

the end of a love

that is not written yet

 

I stop here

It will end well

in a vacuum and the absence

these days my

silence and inconstancy in your feeling

sthe flower dies already

 

go wolf go

stop thinking about her

from your pack you will need to return

and then runs away

 

witch will

if you want to transform

changes role

an actress who artand

you will have new flowers

 

day step into the dark caverns of regret

Mix them with potions and transform everything into tears

like a cat in the night

I try the food

in the trashno sun,

no light

no god here that help me

 

body and spirit dentedas

a glass stuckinside

my poor heart

the memory of a love

He never really lived

so alive in the mind

is my animal instinct

that makes me ache

while another dream diesthe

witch in the lake you slidethe

water lapping against the planin

his eyes the wolf that is now already far

 

a fairy tale real or invented

in between  my  hidden  truth

all my stories strange and weird

over this skin are now tattooed

 

I watc.

Then Nature Breathed 

(For Flo)

During the international pandemic lockdown of 2020, I was living in Perthshire, Scotland. I am a keen road and hill runner, and I often find solitude, fitness, and mental rejuvenation in the foothills of the Ochils. Perthshire is a beautiful place to run.

Due to the lack of planes and cars, I was amazed at the sudden abundance of animals and plant growth which appeared quite suddenly during that spring and summer. I felt that nature was thanking us for a brief pause in our frantic lifestyles, where we belch emissions and pollute our souls, minds and the planet in a frantic rush to feed our lust for materialism. I feel that many people (myself included) were able to stop, reflect and re-evaluate our roles in our lives.

Pause

Mere waves on this ocean

navigating currents of precious space

Do less or more

 

Home

a sacred place for some

Breathe

Breathe the light of this divine time

 

Nature revisits

Clear air

Silent paths

Moments

 

Time

for less, for more

Movement

Space

Open creative pause.

(Kirsty Jones)

I hope you enjoy playing ‘Then Nature Breathed’.

Composed by Carson Cooman. 20th Century,Concert,Contemporary,Sacred,Standards. Score. 17 pages. Musik Fabrik Music Publishing #3038635. Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.533692).

Biblicals: Concerto for Solo Piano in Five Movements (1998) was commissioned from the
composer by an anonymous benefactor for pianist Kathleen Supové in tribute of her tireless
support of new music.
The work is in five movements, each inspired by a different biblical quotation which is
quoted in the score before each movement. If possible, these passages should be printed in
the program or read aloud before the performance of the work. Each movement is
programmatic only in an internal sense. While the movements do not attempt to directly
portray the action of the passage in a storybook sense, they do attempt to capture the overall
affect of the verse. The form of the work is as a concerto for solo piano drawing on a title
that has been used in the past by numerous composers. Likewise, although the work does not
involve an orchestra, I have titled it concerto because it contains elements of a concerto solo
part and because of the virtuosity required to perform the work. The work explores a widerange
of styles from quasi-lyrical to highly chromatic. Throughout, the work has a rhythmic
intensity which should be observed by the performer.
The first movement, Hovering Over the Waters, makes use of an irregular rhythmic pattern
introduced in the opening measure and used throughout the work. Irregular and nervous
rhythms using chromatic intervals pervade the entire movement.
The second movement, Baldhead, is a forceful and loud movement making use of the clash
between diatonic and pentatonic clusters. It is relentless in its pounding energy, irregular
rhythms, and volume. This movement is dedicated to American composer Daniel Pinkham
on the occasion his 75th birthday in 1998. The connection of this movement to Pinkham
comes in the superimposition of pentatonic and diatonic clusters, a technique used so well in
one of my favorite Pinkham works, Blessings for Organ (1978).
The third movement, Forgiven and Free, presents a tranquil scene involving the building of
chords, standard and otherwise, through the adding of tones one at a time. Brief chromatic
melodies appear and then disappear quickly.
The fourth movement, Under the Sun, makes use of a motive involving four chords over a left
hand bass consisting of a major-tenth chord. This motive appears throughout the movement,
constantly breaking in and interrupting the action. A variety of irregular rhythmic motives
appear throughout as a contrast to the main motive with its strict rhythm. Quotes of nursery
rhyme tunes are hidden throughout the movement as well in various forms.
The fifth movement, The Seventh Angel, is a fast and furious tarantella. As the movement
flies by a variety of musical ideas emerge and then disappear into the main motive again.
The music continues to get faster and faster and finally the movement ends with a furious
progression from the bottom to top of the piano and then a thunderous unison chord in the
lower register.

Composed by Carson Cooman. Concert,Contemporary,Standards. Score. 10 pages. Musik Fabrik Music Publishing #3018597. Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.533553).

Summer Solstice (2007) for piano was written for and is dedicated to pianist and composer Jeffrey Jacob.
Though there were a number of interconnected inspirations behind the work’s conception, one of these
intentions is as a tribute to American composer Vincent Persichetti (1915–1987). Though there are no
specific quotations from Persichetti’s music, some of the textural and developmental ideas (particularly in
the fast, middle section) owe themselves to his work.
The work opens in a free, declamatory manner – announcing its basic pitch material. Spasmodic gestures
intercut the resonant declamation. Amidst the bright ringing, a lyric melody tries to assert itself again and
again. A whirling and dry fast section, however, emerges; the material is put through a series of spinning
transformations, building to a ringing and clangorous climax – bathed in the white heat of the summer sun.
The final section is marked “memorial candles� – distant and near candles set out on a field flicker in the
summer heat and ebbing sunlight while low, distant chimes sound the passing of time. The candles slowly
burn out – one by one – in the heat of the dry summer air.

Composed by Carson Cooman. 20th Century,Concert,Contemporary,Standards. Score. 13 pages. Musik Fabrik Music Publishing #3038633. Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.533691).

This work, Kayser Variations, was written as a tribute to Margaret Kayser, long-time
chemistry teacher (for 16 years) at Allendale Columbia School in Rochester, New York on
the event of her retirement from teaching.
This work takes a variations on a theme form but uses the concept of placing the chorale
theme itself in the middle of the work (instead of its customary place at the beginning),
surrounded on both sides by variations. The theme is God Save the King/Queen, the
national anthem of the United Kingdom.
The pitch material of the variation accompaniment is derived, at some points, from subscripts
and coefficients from chemical formulae and balanced chemical equations.
Each of the variations also pokes fun at a different element, style, or method of 20th century
music competition. So this work is also a parody of sorts.
This work should be performed with a slight break (almost a breath) between each variation.
Dynamic markings are provided as a guide but performers should use their own judgment.
Pedal should be used by the performer where appropriate. This work should always be
performed in its entirety. The variations should never be played on their own.

I. Mourning at Sunset
II. Beyond Distant Echoes
III. Whispers of Mortality

Fourth Piano Sonata (2005) was commissioned by and is dedicated to pianist Donna Amato.
The work is in three movements, each using the exact same musical material. Each
movement presents a trajectory towards a greater integration of the disparate pieces of
material.
The first movement, Mourning at Sunset, presents the basic material in clearly defined
blocks. An opening section of forceful, declamatory chords alternates with a more lyrical
section of interlocking lines. The forceful music returns before a slow, desolate section is
presented. This builds to a small climax before dying down again. The opening then returns.
The second movement, Beyond Distant Echoes, is slow and ethereal. Sounds of distant gongs
alternate with brittle, spasmodic interjections.
The third movement, Whispers of Mortality, is inspired by the finale of Frederic Chopin's
Piano Sonata in B-flat minor. It is fast and fleeting and too short. The musical material
has transformed into pure running roulades of raw notes. The movement evaporates into the
uppermost register.

I. (Flowing)
II. (Fast, nimble)
III. (Funereal) (in memoriam Donald Martino)
IV. (Dancing)
V. (Distant, echoing) (for Richard and Dee Wilson)
VI. (Moderate, singing, with humor) (for Michael Finnissy)
VII. (Slow, very lyrical)
VIII. (March)
IX. (Envoi: Very slow, from afar)
Nine Preludes (2007) for piano was written for and is dedicated to pianist Marilyn Nonken; it was commissioned by
Richard Mason.
Although the work is composed as a set of discrete movements, the preludes are very much interconnected, as motivic
and developmental ideas run throughout the entire set. The basic musical material (founded upon collections of minor
and major thirds) is shared among all nine movements. An elegiac quality runs throughout the work.
The first prelude (Flowing) is inspired by the piano music of Johannes Brahms, whose contributions to the instrument’s
literature have been a significant and ongoing influence on my work.
The second prelude is fast and bright. Consistent staccato textures are maintained as the two hands intertwine.
The third prelude (Funereal) is dedicated to the memory of American composer Donald Martino (1931–2005). The music
refers very obliquely to Martino’s setting of Robert Herrick’s poems of death and eternity in The White Island (1985).
The fourth prelude (Dancing) is light and buoyant. After a melodic middle section, the opening music reverses itself to the
end.
The fifth prelude (Distant, echoing) is dedicated to Richard and Dee Wilson. Through large blocks of sustained sound (both
quiet and loud), the movement explores certain harmonic colors of the piano.
The sixth prelude (Moderate, singing, with humor) is dedicated to English composer Michael Finnissy. The opening is
marked “like an ‘off-kilter’ folk song,� and this original melody is subjected to a variety of transformations and textures.
The rhythmic patterns are constantly in flux.
The seventh prelude (Slow, very lyrical) is melodic and passionate, with a nocturnal character. The middle builds to an
intense climax before dying away.
The eighth prelude (March) is spiky and crisp. In the trio, the march theme is turned first into a tonal ballad before
gradually transforming back into the language of the march. A faster reprise of the opening music follows.
The ninth prelude (Envoi: Very slow, from afar) is an elegaic “farewell.� Romantic gestures and harmonies try to assert
themselves before the music dies away.

Performance Note: Although it is preferred that the entire set of nine preludes be played in concert, individual preludes (or smaller
assembled groupings) may be performed when necessary for programming needs. If the entire set is played, however, the order of the
preludes should not be changed. The movements should be listed in the program in the format shown at the top of this page.

Concert Piece: La Tricotea (2006) was written for and is dedicated to conductor and pianist
Jeffrey Grossman.
The work is a “concert paraphrase� in the tradition of the virtuoso piano literature. Thus it is not
a set of traditional variations but rather is a virtuosic elaboration of the source material – with
different parts of the piece focusing on and amplifying different elements of the original.
The source material is the anonymous Renaissance Spanish three-part choral motet La Tricotea.
In some sources, this motet is attributed to Francisco Alonso. It was originally published a
collection entitled Cancionero Musical del Palacio (c. 1490 – 1520). The text of the motet is
primarily in Spanish but includes both elements of other Romance languages and a great deal of
gibberish.
