When I discovered that Berlioz used poems from La Comédie de la Mort by Théophile Gautier, I immediately purchased a copy on Amazon. In it I found a very macabre and morbid poem describing a dialogue underground in a cemetery between a worm and a dead girl. I was of course immediately intrigued and decided to set the poem for tenor and piano. The normal thing to do would have been a duet between the worm and the dead girl, but I decided to set the entire dialogue for tenor alone.  Enjoy!!!

Published by Thomas Oboe Lee (A0.869630). Dante Alighieri is of course a major Italian poet.  But the story of his youthful infatuation with Beatrice caught my eyes.  I got his book La Vita Nuova in a dual language edition published by Dover and proceeded to look for the right set of poems for my setting.  There are four long poems that I found beautiful and fabulous, but I ended up using only portions of the first three.  Even so the song cycle is quite ling, at 26 minutes.   The work is set for tenor and piano.  Ethan DePuy who has done my work previously will record Beatrice in the studio of the New England Conservatory in the spring off 2020.
