More Information

The first of these Three Love Songs, which were all originally for voice and piano, was composed in March 2021 and is a setting of the poem “A Love Song” by American poet Theodosia Garrison from her 1917 book The Dreamers and Other Poems. This choral version was created in a single day, June 10, 2021.

My setting of “A Red, Red Rose” was composed almost entirely on Valentine’s Day 2021 and sets the famous poem by the 18th-century Scottish poet Robert Burns. This choral version was begun in the summer of 2022 and completed in May 2023.

And lastly, I composed “Again and Again” in 2016 which sets the poem “Immer Wieder” from 1914 by Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke in my own translation from German. This choral version was created in summer 2022.

Mvt I My Love It Should Be Silent premiered May 1, 2022 by the Eastman Chorale, William Weinert-conductor, in Rochester, NY.

Mvt II A Red, Red Rose and III Again and Again have not yet been premiered.
