The Edith Poems

An SATB unaccompanied setting of the text "Set Me As a Seal..."

Set Me As a Seal...

Blackout in Eden was commissioned & performed by ACM (Access Contemporary Music) in Chicago in 2010 (rev. 2018) for their concert “Newspaper Blackout Poems” featuring all new settings of poetry from Austin Kleon’s collection “Newspaper Blackout”.  The Dada-inspired poems are created by blacking out the majority of the words in a newspaper article; the remaining words are read as a poem.

Blackout in Eden loosely retells the story of the Fall of Man in the Garden of Eden from the perspectives of a narrator (#’s 1 & 2), Satan (#3) & Adam (#’s 4 & 5).
