Flute.Agent Night

Silver  Threads And  Golden  Needles

I'm a car crash on the highway
I'm wide awake, I can't go back
In my dreams you are far away
I pushed you there, it's not going back the same

I see you all dressed in red
I call your name, you won't look back
On a warm night on a parked car
With parted lips, you speak to me again

But you slip away
Before I heard you say

"I love you now, but in a different way
I don't feel the same, feel the same"
I'm free falling in myself tonight again
But I can feel my wings grow in

In my dreams I still feel the same
I don't want it to, to go back
But the guilt is a burning thing
I'm filled with smoke but I can breathe again

But you slip away
Before I heard you say

"I love you now, but in a different way
I don't feel the same, feel the same"
I'm free falling in myself tonight again
But I can feel my wings grow in

You don't want my sympathy
But if I may
You don't want to hear from me
But I want to say

"I love you now, but in a different way
I don't feel the same, feel the same"
I'm free falling in myself tonight again
But I can feel my wings grow
In my dreams I still fight to wake
But I'm falling slow, falling slowly
In a bitter haze that I have made
And I see your face as it slowly fades away

In My Dreams

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.

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.

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.
