Two Weary Companions

Eagle's Flight

After all this time I've become a ghost...empty vessel, discarded host.
The young don't notice the pale gray men, just as single-minded as I was then.

It's like I've disappeared, faded and unclear...maybe I was never here at all.

My ambitions are old and tattered. My desires no longer matter.
My great dreams all lay in dust...corroding in my heart of rust.

Once a player upon the stage, now a footnote, a crumpled page.

Everyone just looks right through me, everyone just walks on by.
It seems that now I'm just a phantom, a silent specter with empty eyes.

It's like I've disappeared, faded and unclear...maybe I was never here at all.

I'm a song that's almost completed. Slings and arrows left me defeated.
Every line but the last verse sung. I once was vital, once was young.

Once a player upon the stage, now a footnote, a crumpled page.

Everyone just looks right through me, everyone just walks on by.
It seems that now I'm just a phantom, a silent specter with empty eyes.

I'm still here, I call.

Formerly titled Walt's America for world premiere.

NOTE: Instrumentation is designed to be identical to the Brahms Requiem, but with additional percussion.

PROGRAM NOTE
I have always been very fond of Walt Whitman and his poetry, not only for the inherent beauty and sense of optimism he illustrates in many of his works, but also for his intimacy, directness, colorful descriptions, and the way in which he sings the praises of nature and our role in it as individuals.

Whitman’s America is a setting of six poems from Whitman’s final version of Leaves of Grass, often called the Death Bed Edition, since he compiled this version the year he died. My work is constructed in an arch form as a sort of quasi-fantasia. I view each connected movement or section as a scene or vision, perhaps from an imagined Whitman as he lay on his deathbed. My goal was to capture and highlight a variety of themes that permeate Whitman’s poems, and in particular, themes that have to do with his love of America and the American people.

The work begins with Gliding o’er all, a poem in which Whitman portrays a positive attitude toward death; he is prepared for it and ready to embrace it. He presents a tone of acceptance through the irony of singing of many deaths, for the positive act of singing, in the way he imagines, does not typically correlate with death. Next is I Dream’d in a Dream, sung by a solo baritone, a poem that describes a utopic vision of peace and harmony. Following that is I Hear America Singing, about American pride and having pride in one’s work. Next is America, describing the destiny of America as a nation, his love of the masses, his devotion to Democracy and America fulfilling the spiritual needs of its people. Second to last is A Prairie Sunset, sung by a solo soprano, a poem that captures the beauty of the American prairie, an aspect of the American landscape that Whitman was very passionate about. Finally, I end with After the Dazzle of Day, a beautiful poem describing the starry night sky, an evening filled with music and his own internal symphony during the silence that follows.

Whitman’s America was commissioned by the Gulf Coast Symphony (Fort Myers, FL) as part of their 2020 Commissioning Project, Andrew M. Kurtz, Music Director and Conductor.

Any sane brain will complain
and fail to this and bail, son.
But I can tap a vein
power through the pain
rain like a ****ing rail gun.

Cause my style's 
never been out of style
it's the divine style
better believe that!
You're facile as a missile
don't stockpile—
never gonna need that.

My brainchild is ignateous,
it's lit and fit to lead the nations.
I'm thinkin' I can make a proclamation:
If you dig it, you must sing it
You must take it close to the heart
blows to the heart, master the art.
It's not about being faster
or a misogynous bastard,
I'm ad astra.

This game's got a hold on me.
(I can I can cut like a ****in' knife when the rhythm calls me!)
Taking your baby formula.
Breaking you'll make you humbler.

No apology.
(I can I can slash like a ****in' scythe nothing ever dulls me!)
Rein in those who brag a lot.
Reign down like the Jagannath.

Got a metronome glued to my dome
like a pacemaker.
(bass shaker)
Read the mosaic—I 
can bend the beat like a voltaic arc.

Some fake hard
but they got the boy in 'em make 'em brittle.
Don't remember ever being "Little",
keep my inner Beat Boy in the middle.

Touched by the God of Madness,
when I fatten this
I'm gonna patent this.
I'm gonna practice 
on your wackness
like the female praying mantis.

Better back this up
with a bigger groove
feign a bigger move
find a better proof.
Yeah, I'm the Beta Wolf
who snapped your Alpha in half
and I'm not sorry!

Chorus (repeated)

SINK OR SWIM

take all the time
you need
to get by

you know that sometimes
just breathe
it’s alright…

take all those books
and throw them away
you know every rule
was meant to be overruled someday….

till you see that way you won’t feel that way
till you feel that way you won’t be that way

you know there are some fools
stealing cues
what to do, what to choose

when it comes down to you
make your to do
got nothing to lose...

take all all those lists
and hurl them away
crossing some lines
was meant to be overlooked someday…
until you see that way you won’t feel that way
until you feel that way you won’t be that way…  
until you jump right in
you won’t sink or swim

oh yeah…
til you jump right in
oh yeah…
gotta jump right in…

take all those charts
and chuck them away…
cos being the odd one out
was always gonna pay some day…

until you see that way you won’t feel that way
until you feel that way you won’t be that way…  
until you jump right in
you won’t sink or swim

take all the space 
that you need
to fly….

don’t worry about me
I’ll be here
watching the sky…

take all those books
and hurl them away
you know every rule
was meant to be overturned someday….

until you see that way you won’t feel that way
until you feel that way you won’t be that way…  

until you jump right in
you won’t sink or swim
