Earthsong is the second song in David Alpher's 6-song set, Songs of Transcendance, contemporary art songs with texts by Ralph Waldo Emerson and members of his nineteenth-century American Transcendentalist Circle. The chamber music of American composer David Alpher has been hailed by the critics: refreshingly direct and uncompromising • an extension of Bernstein's melodic style • strong melodic gift...unusual instrumental combinations...color and diversity. Two Rivers is scored for piano and voice, and is featured on the CD David Alpher: American Reflections, available at CDBaby.com.
