Nature's Bard (Dickinson's Autumn)

Nature's Bard (Dickinson's Autumn)

Alto Saxophone and Piano

Composer's Note:

Nature’s Bard (Dickinson’s Autumn) uses the imagery of Emily Dickinson to inspire a sonic portrait of autumn in its many shifting moods. The obvious starting point—vermillion wheels, bustle in the brook, crickets and crows — gives way to the more enigmatic and uncertain messages which often underlie Dickinson’s poetry—Oh Sacrament of summer days, Oh Last Communion in the Haze and Yet that pathetic Pendulum keeps esoteric Time. The piece was premiered by James Umble, alto saxophone, and Liz Ames, piano, in March 2020.
