Sounds cold. The poem reminds me a little of Wilfred Owne's Dulce Et Decorum Est with his "knock kneed coughing like hags" description of people hunched over.

Really beautiful. I love that balance of tritones and minor 7ths that the listener kind of settles into after the first few bars. It becomes this really magical mood. So pretty. And what a rich sounding singer!

Tens um potencial muito grande mana continua assim

Ooh! So I was going to wait until the end to comment, but I'm FEELING this right now. Although, a lot of time has passed since I began to type this in... I keep getting entranced!

Really beautiful, unique orchestration behind the vocalist. The spacious but lush combination of strings, winds, piano and tuned percussion provides a wonderfully warm background. Such an intricate melody sung impeccably! √√√√

You’ve captured the autumnal colours and mysteries of twilight beautifully.  Wonderful singing 👏

Another beautiful,and exquisite piece, Robert!! Great stuff!!!

This is a nice classical song that incorporates some powerful vocals and empotional melodies. I like this ✨

Extremely enjoyable track. Thou I´m basically a rock musician I love clasical music, 'cause I consider that the best rock music has its foundations in classical music

Very nice, kind o real, autumn atmosphere.... nostalgic and colorful. The performance is really nice.

Respicite

The mood of this track was created during a walk with my old dog in the fog around historic castles in Lüdinghausen. I tried to capture and process this mood.
the song calms me down every time.

Vagues marines

Quand ton sourire est là
Quand de ta voix, tu ris
Quand de tes mains tu joues
Quand de tes yeux tu danses
Quand, de ton rire en fête,
Tu me tiens dans tes bras,
Bras de braise et de sang
Encore plus forts que tout
Que tout ce qui est fort

Refrain
Dans les vagues marines
De mes draps roses et bleus
Je te vois endormie
Comme un bateau câlin
Qui dérive à la nage
Pas très loin des récifs

Quand je brise mes mots
Sur ta peau de satin
Quand je mords dans tes mains
Comme des pains d’épices
Quand j’affleure le frais
Sur tes cuisses d’azur
Quand de sentir ton corps
Je me noie d’inquiétude
(refrain)

Je m’accroche à ton bord
Et pès’ de tout mon corps
Sur ton bateau fragile
Pour détourner la coque
De ces récifs pirates
Vers des îles lointaines
Où les galets s’étoilent
Où les journées exultent
Sur des mâts de cocagne
(refrain)
S’approchant des récifs…

Quand je bois à minuit
Il fait double à Paris
Quand de ton corps, je pleure
Moi, je m’y roule en douce
Comme dans un miroir
Brûlé de sable fin !  (bis)

Sea waves

When your smile is there
When you laugh with your voice
When you play with your hands
When you dance with your eyes
When, with your festive laughter,
You hold me in your arms,
Arms of fire and blood
Stronger than anything
Than all that is strong

Refrain
In the sea waves
Of my pink and blue sheets
I see you asleep
Like a cuddly boat
Drifting by
Not far from the reef

When I break my words
On your satin skin
When I bite into your hands
Like gingerbread
When I touch the cool
On your azure thighs
When feeling your body
I drown in anxiety
(refrain)

I cling to your edge
And weigh with all my body
On your fragile boat
To divert the hull
From these pirate reefs
To distant islands
Where the pebbles star
Where the days exult
Sur des mâts de cocagne
(refrain)
Approaching the reefs...

When I drink at midnight
It's double time in Paris
When I cry over your body
I roll in it
Like in a mirror
Burned by fine sand (bis)

PROGRAM NOTE
Autumn Songs for mezzo-soprano is my final song cycle celebrating the seasons. As with my previous three seasonal cycles for different voice types, this cycle contains settings of poems by various American poets.

Like Spring Songs, Autumn Songs begins with New York: a setting of Evelyn Scott’s Ascension: Autumn Dusk in Central Park, an early 20th century Imagist poem in which people seem to merge at dusk. The second movement is a setting of Under the Harvest Moon by Carl Sandburg. In this poem, Sandburg uses autumn and summer as a metaphor for people in two different periods of life, revealing beauty in both stages. Memory is the primary concern for someone who is older, and possibly for someone who is younger. The third movement is a setting of All Hallows’ Eve by Dorothea Tanning, who was not only a poet, but also a well-known visual artist whose early work was inspired by Surrealism. This is perhaps the most playful setting, and I used Tanning’s evocative, Surrealistic imagery as inspiration for colorful sounds and angular dissonances in the ensemble. November for Beginners by Rita Dove is the text for the fourth movement. In this setting, Dove beautifully encapsulates the feeling of waiting for winter in November, and the sense of anticipation one feels during the fall months. At the end of her poem, she uses the sound of zithers as a metaphor for the sounds of wind and rain when spring comes. The final movement, a setting of Leaves Before The Wind by May Sarton, is inspired by Irish jigs, and mimics leaves blowing in the wind. The penultimate section is anthemic, and the end of the movement is more calm and similar to the beginning.

Autumn Songs was made possible, in part, by generous support from the Gerson Family Foundation.

Autumn Songs - I. Ascension - Autumn Dusk In Central Park (Text by Evelyn Scott)

American composer Robert Paterson is a true New Yorker—born and bred in Buffalo, he lived in Rochester and Ithaca for over ten years, in New York City for over twenty years, and now lives in Saratoga Springs, near the Adirondacks. Paterson’s colorful music embraces a wide variety of themes, everything from goddesses and online dating to mathematics and the environment. His music is filled with emotion and fierce rhythmic energy, marked by elegance, wit, and meticulous craftsmanship. Named Composer of The Year by the Classical Recording Foundation at Carnegie Hall, Paterson is the winner of the Alfred I. DuPont Award, and his opera Three Way won the Grammy® under Best Classical Producer of the Year. His music is often a Best of the Year pick on National Public Radio. His orchestral tone poem, Dark Mountains, regularly airs on NPR’s Performance Today. Three Way premiered with Nashville Opera, then BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music), and across the United States. Minnesota Orchestra, Louisville Orchestra, The Oratorio Society of New York, Buffalo Philharmonic, Albany Pro Musica, Albany Symphony, Musica Sacra, Austin Symphony, Vermont Symphony, and ensembles worldwide perform his works. Paterson gives masterclasses at the Curtis Institute of Music, New York University, the Aspen Music Festival, the Cleveland Institute of Music, and more. He is the Artistic Director and house composer for Mostly Modern Projects. Robert is a lifelong vegan and advocates for animals and the environment, celebrating the natural world with ground-breaking works such as his Triple Concerto, A New Eaarth, Listen, and I Go Among Trees.
