Description: Sigismond Thalberg: Grand Fantasia su Il Trovatore, Op. 77. Performed by Geoffrey Burleson, from a live recital recording, Taplin Hall, Princeton University, March 12, 2006.

This is a rough recording of my new song, which is prompted by the many extreme and troubling weather events we have all been experiencing on our planet, and the toll it takes on all living things.  I do believe that the suffering of the earth is deeply related to our own personal suffering and vice versa.  Healing is possible.  It begins within each of us.

Until Then—2021

This is me reading my 2020 poem, Time-lapse Aperture. And the image is a drawing of mine called Ancestor.

PROGRAM NOTE
There is a seemingly endless supply of poems about summer. After writing Winter Songs for bass-baritone and chamber ensemble or piano, I realized that I had inadvertently only set poems by male poets, so I decided to restrict myself to female poets for this cycle. I am well-aware that this could emphasize a potential cliché: woman can be viewed as more "summery" and men more "wintery,” but more than anything, this is merely a way to offer a course correction, so to speak, or even a yin and yang, as well as a way to create a balance between these two works.

Summer Songs begins with a setting of Summer Music by May Sarton, a light, happy, playfully musical poem filled with allusions to nature. The second movement is a setting of The Kite by Anne Sexton, a poem about honoring and enjoying the moment, and the simple things in life such as flying kites with children. Childhood, the third movement, is a setting of a poem by Sharan Strange about children capturing fireflies. The fourth movement, Moths, is a setting of a poem by Jennifer O’Grady about moths, but relating to late night conversation on a front porch. The cycle ends with a setting of Summer Night, Riverside, by Sara Teasdale, a passionate, warm, optimistic poem that muses on the timelessness of summer.

Summer Songs was commissioned by The ASCAP Foundation via the Charles Kingsford Fund, for Marnie Breckenridge and the American Modern Ensemble. Special thanks to Marnie Breckenridge for her assistance in selecting the poems for this cycle.

I know you’re good for it
Ooooh, baby

This may be our only chance
To get away you and I
In a secret masquerade
Don’t say a word

Baby, just take my hand
Take my hand

Before I must
Do you trust me, baby?

Contemporary poet Laura Foley's text for "Returning" describes waiting and watching for the return of wild geese—or any beloved thing—each passing year. This setting of her poem features a simple audience refrain that recurs three times. This piece was commissioned by Minnesota-based chorus Magpies & Ravens (Curtis Kettler, director) and this performance features Choral Arts Initiative (Brandon Elliott, director).

Inquieto (attraverso il rumore) was composed at the request of the violinist Rolf Schulte, and is dedicated to him with gratitude.  The work’s premiere took place on March 4, 2015 at the Kaufman Music Center’s Merkin Concert Hall in New York City, performed by Mr. Schulte and pianist Stephen Gosling.

In Italian, “inquieto” means unquiet or restless, even anxious or uneasy, and “attraverso il rumore” can be translated as “through the noise.” The disquiet I refer to is that of a restless mind, which must work through clatter and clutter to achieve calm. Thanks to my colleague and friend, the composer Paolo Marchettini, for helping me to come up with the right Italian phrase for the title.

A restless mind is a terrible thing to waste, hence this piece, which is in two movements, played without pause. The first begins with an oddball kind of jazz idea, moving gradually into a slow, somewhat siciliana-like tempo. The second is much more driven and somewhat frenetic, until it finally settles into a reminiscence of the slow music from the first movement. 

This track appeared in 2018 on the first CD comprised entirely of my music, a disc that was released on Navona Recordings(PARMA Recordings LLC).
