Sudden Music

Sudden Music

Soprano and Piano

Composer's Note:
When I first read the poetry of Javen Tanner, I was immediately struck by the evocative, highly sensual language and imagery, as well as the profound and deeply personal subtexts. In composing this song cycle, I decided to set "Sudden Music," a set of four poems from Curse For You Sake. Indeed, how could a composer resist a set of poems called "Sudden Music"!? My primary goal was to echo in music the reflective and intimate mood of the poetry, where retrospection, memory, and sexuality blend together in smoke from burning cedar.
