Published by Thomas Oboe Lee (A0.869598). Sappho ... Five Poems by H.D. (2019) is dedicated to Öznur Hasibe TülüoÄŸlu.   I heard her sing at her senior recital at the New England Conservatory of Music this spring and I immediately thought I should write a song cycle for her.  I love the poetry of H.D. (aka Hilda Doolittle).  My first attempt at setting her poems to music was in 2015.  The poems in that song cycle focused on several figures from Greek mythology: Adonis, Circe, Lethe, Daphne, Evadne, etc.The words in this cycle are Ms. Doolittle's poetic musings on fragments left behind by the ancient Greek poet Sappho.1.    Fragment 41a ... thou flittest to Andromeda.2.    Fragment 41c3.    Fragment 40 Love ... bitter sweet4.    Fragment 113 Neither honey nor bee for me.5.    Fragment 68 ... even in the house of Hades.Music by Thomas Oboe LeePoems by H.D.© Hilda Doolittle, from Collected Poems, 1912-1944, copyright © 1982 by the Estate of Hilda Doolittle.

Soprano voice and piano - Medium - Digital Download SKU: MQ.8317-2E Composed by Gwyneth W. Walker. Secular, 21st century. 4 pages. E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital #8317-2E. Published by E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital (MQ.8317-2E). The poetry of Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) is especially appealing due to the wide range of topics, diversity of mood and peculiar imagination of the poet. The writings are reflective, passionate, witty, sensuous, observant and ridiculously humorous. Her heart soars. Her mind pokes fun! Emily was truly a New Englander. Her poems are understated and compact. Her love of Nature focuses on small things- birds, bees, meadows and a pond. In creating the musical settings, the composer (herself a New Englander) endeavored to capture the spirit of the poetry, and of the poet, with songs diverse in style, and concise in form. Everything from romance to frogs is explored, briefly. Great delight is taken in creating musical translations of the colorful imagery: the shimmering moonlight (The Moon and the Sea). These are the poet's Letters to the World. She lived as a recluse, yet her words took flight-traveling the universe as messengers of the soul.
