A Line-Storm Song

A Line-Storm Song

Soprano, Mezzo-soprano, or Baritone with Piano

Composer's Note:

Robert Frost’s poem, A Line-Storm Song, is a love poem, where love has been through a wild storm, and yet persists. I have tried to capture something of the wistful, wild, urgent nature of the poem through the music. This song was commissioned by the Ensemble for These Times, through their Jewish Music and Poetry Project, with support from the Jewish Music Commission of Los Angeles. Soprano Nanette McGuinness and pianist Dale Tsang premiered it on their Trinity Chamber Concert on 06/11/16 in Berkeley, CA. I am grateful to mezzo-soprano Katherine Soroka for her insightful editorial suggestions and for her premiere of the version for Mezzo-Soprano with pianist Nathan Carterette, presented by the Tuesday Musical Club in Pittsburgh, PA on 05/20/17. I also added a version for baritone and piano, recasting the relationship between the text and singer. This song is dedicated to my beloved Michael.
