"Inversnaid"
is a poem that describes a waterfall in Scotland. "Spring and Fall"
contemplates the changing of the seasons as an analogy for lost innocence.
"thou are indeed, just, Lord" is a paraphrase of a passage
from the prophet Jeremiah where the fruitfulness of the wicked is set
against the barren trees of the righteous. Hopkins complains of God's
seeming injustice and concludes with a mournful cry for rain. Soprano and piano |

"The Hangman
at Home" is Sandburg's playful and poignant contemplation of the
domestic life of the hangman. "Monotone" finds an analogy
in the consistency of the rain for the beauty of the lover. "Personality"
is the musings of a police beat reporter on the strange uniqueness of
thumbprints. "Grieg being dead" is a poem that makes me laugh
and cry. I attempted to set it to reflect that. The accompaniment is
constructed from Grieg melodies. "black horizons" is a bleak
commentary on the de-humanizing forces of modern society. Soprano and piano |
