Love Poetry Biography
source(google.com)
These pieces started as assignments from David Conte, who suggested that I set existing poetry to music for voice and piano. Over the next several months I assembled a series of poems that spanned over a century of poetic thought, all exploring various aspects of love. I gravitated towards poems that had some theatrical element to them, well defined characters, a narrative, perhaps a twist. Poems that cried out for a performance and would require acting as well as singing.
I was interested in the notion of a piece working with multiple timelines. On the one hand there is the timeline of the poems, ranging from the 1850s through 1993. But there is also the timeline of the lives of the characters we’re watching. We see the early blush of love, the pain of heartbreak, the realization (and consummation) of true love and finally the wistful recollections of the life that two people have built together. The fact that this chronological tale can be told using language that skips freely between a number of distinctly different eras speaks to the universality of this particular human experience.
