Book Description

Publication Date: 1989

These twelve songs were composed at Sneden's Landing, New York, at various times during the period from March 1949to March 1950. They are the first works the composer had written for solo voice and piano since 1928. The poems subject matter deal with nature, death, life and eternity. Only 2 of the songs are related thematically, the 7th and the 12th. Nevertheless, the composer hopes that, in seeking a musical counterpart for the unique personality of the poet, he has given the songs, taken together, the aspect of a song cycle.
