Evgeniya Kozhevnikova #6501305. Published by Evgeniya Kozhevnikova (A0.806740). A Cycle of Love Songs is a collection of Sara Teasdale’s settings for soprano and flute. The set was commissioned in 2020 by Anima Vox Duo (Tadeu Coehlo, flute, and Carole Ott Coelho, voice) for She Can, We Can project. The set was premiered by Anima Vox Duo on March 09, 2021, at the University of North Carolina School of Arts.This was my first time working with the texts by Sara Teasdale (1884-1933), and I was so inspired by her poetry that several more settings followed after it. All of the selected poems for this cycle were published in 1915 in the book entitled Love Songs. Teasdale’s texts indeed have inner music, and it seems like they are just calling to become songs.Performers should take as much freedom as they want, and follow the natural flow of phrases. This cycle is all about being a duet, not one instrument accompanying another. Follow your partner for the dynamics and other nuances. Please refer to the video by Anima Vox Duo, as this is a great example of this cycle performance: https://youtu.be/NnHrT1w0h2s?t=1177Voice Range: C4 to G5Duration: ca. 7’20’’ total
