Written Spring '13

Performed July '15 by Ghostchild Trio

The title refers to point source pollution, which is pollution from a single identifiable source, like a smokestack, sewage outlet, or street light. The piece deals with ideas of moving from purity to saturation, the natural to the industrial. This composition is partially inspired by Diego Rivera’s murals, “Detroit Industry,” in the Detroit Institute of Arts.

Point Source - pno, vln, sax

Performed at a rehearsal by Aliro Voices, May 12 2019

This is my arrangement of the traditional Irish song The Last Rose of Summer.

'Tis the last rose of summer,
Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone;
No flower of her kindred,
No rosebud is nigh,
To reflect back her blushes,
And give sigh for sigh.

I'll not leave thee, thou lone one!
To pine on the stem;
Since the lovely are sleeping,
Go, sleep thou with them.
Thus kindly I scatter,
Thy leaves o'er the bed,
Where thy mates of the garden
Lie scentless and dead.

So soon may I follow,
When friendships decay,
And from Love's shining circle
The gems drop away.
When true hearts lie withered,
And fond ones are flown,
Oh! who would inhabit
This bleak world alone?

Michael Maiorana
