This is Love is a light-hearted lecture on the nature of love delivered by a daring soprano soloist (backed by a mixed ensemble of winds, piano and percussion) in a post-modern art song. The setting was inspired by, and pokes fun at, the 19th century art song genre.
Scored for soprano (D4-F5), flute, Bb clarinet, tenor saxophone, piano, and percussion (1 player: tambourine, triangle, shaker). Includes a full score and complete set of parts.
Duration: 6'20
The text, penned by the composer, gives us a literal description of love based on the word itself:
Oh this is how love is spelled:
an L, an O, a V, and an E. (The E is silent.)
Love begins with an L
as in lol-li-pop.
L-o-l-o-l-l-i-l-i-l-i-p-i-p-o-p-o-p!
O, O comes after L in love:
Oh, O.
V, V is next in the scheme of things
V can stand for a lot of things.
Vociferous! And viper, Vivian, vixen, verbose, virus, victory!
V, V, V, V, V, V, V, V! V.
Love, love can take a lesson from the letter E:
E is silent.
