WHERE THE MOUNTAIN CROSSES

WHERE THE MOUNTAIN CROSSES

mezzo sop, pf

A cycle of 10 songs for Mezzo Soprano and piano, employing poetry of various Native American Indian tribes, the poetry is evocative of sounds, the seasons, nature, childhood, life reflections, and loneliness. The songs are, for the most part, very lyrical and require a flexible mezzo sound capable of a wide range of expression. The piano part is difficult and requires a great deal of coloration employing the pedals. For advanced performers only.

Written with the support of a NEA Composer Fellowship. Transferred to C. F. Peters Corp. 1983


Movements: 10.0

Authored (or revised): 1982

Text source: text: anon

First performance: March, 1983 - Contemporary Music Concert, New York University; Elizabeth Patches, Mezzo; Phyllis Rappeport, Piano.
