JenkinsVMAstudio LLC. #839453. Published by JenkinsVMAstudio LLC. (A0.1264831). Portrait of Autumn is about a master artist setting out to paint a landscape of turning leaves as fall arrives. The poem goes through the process that this artist takes setting up and the joy of painting and completing his work. The melody is upbeat, easy to learn, and moves the poem forward. This beautiful vocal arrangement is one of many pieces written from poems by Fairy Walker Lane. Fairy Walker Lane 1890-1985 and the great aunt of Andrea JenkinsAndrea had always loved her aunt Fairy's poems, from when she was a little girl and her mom showed her the original pieces of work on old manuscript paper typed by a typewriter.  Fairy was more than a poetry writer. She lived in Tucumcari, New Mexico, and her family was responsible for establishing one of the original schoolhouses where Andrea's great-grandmother was a schoolteacher. Fairy was also an entrepreneur and owned a business selling hats in Tucumcari.Andrea lives in Maricopa, AZ, and is a teacher for middle school choir and drama.

Published by Henry Mollicone Publications (A0.1002970). Http://www.HenryMollicone.com Derri-air, a ragtime song for baritone and piano, was written during the production of the new feature-length documentary film, THE FACE ON THE BARROOM FLOOR- The Poem, the Place, the opera. The Face on the Barroom Floor refers to the famous picture painted on the floor of the Teller House Bar in Central City, Colorado (inspired by the poem by D’Arcy), and the opera I composed to John S. Bowman’s libretto in 1978, which was performed every season in Central City for 33 years, and continues to be my most performed opera. Film producer Lawrence Kraman found on the internet a poem which tells a similar story of another woman whose backside (clothed in a can can dress) was painted on the ceiling in a bar a few blocks away. Alas, the bar (and the lady on the ceiling) are no longer there, but for those who know the face poem, Bottoms up- or the end of the slip of a miss, the poem by Colorado’s Sid Squibb, published in 1951, is truly funny- a kind of parody of the Face poem, detailing in this case how the painting got to be done on the ceiling! -Henry Mollicone May, 2013 More information: http://henrymollicone.com/catalog/songlist/derri-air-2012/.
