Compositional Notes

 

I met Cuban-American Silvia Curbelo when we were both artists in residency at the Seaside Institute. When she shared a few of her poems I was immediately taken by the melodic flow of her words, the imagery and her strong delivery. W. S. Merwin has describe her work as …accomplished, daring, full of intelligence; it is the generous first manifestation of an authentic and original gift.

 

This second set of songs from The Secret History of Water was composed for one of my private voice students, a coloratura soprano with excellent pitch retention and a secure range extension. I’m in love, I’m floating is a whimsical poem that captures the essence of being in love, acting foolishly and impulsively, yet somehow grounded in the knowledge that she is still capable of counting her options like black sheep. Last Call is my musical interpretation of Curbelo’s enigmatic poem contemplating different personalities in a bar.  In the third song, Janis Joplin, here is another whimsical, yet deeply touching poem with nostalgia as the key component.

I loved including a quote from Me and Bobby McGee.

I am not a huge fan of Mahler's music but his Kindertotenlieder is a cultural gem!   I inadvertently discovered that the poet Friedrich Rückert who penned Kindertodtenlieder (yes, with a d ... LOL!) wrote 400-plus of these KTL poems after his two youngest children died of scarlet fever.  I bought the book @ Amazon.   After plowing through 442 of them, I winnowed it down to ten poems for my song cycle.  It is scored for soprano and piano.  NB: I cannot afford an orchestra, and it would be too much unnecessary work.  LOL!!!  The entire song cycle has a duration of ca. 35 minutes.  It ends like a mechanical music box while the soprano sings a lullaby.  Sleep is of course a perfect metaphor for being dead.  

Enjoy!!!
