descripção
Each song in this cycle was a birthday present: the first song was for my mom’s 90th birthday, the second for her 92nd, and the third for my dad’s 95th birthday. I knew that my parents were entering the last stages of their lives — so, in tribute, I searched for poems that reflected on the nature of life, settling on these poems by Emily Dickinson. Her unique expressiveness never fails to amaze me, and I let the words guide me in crafting an appropriate musical structure. My mother died in 2014, just a month shy of her 96th birthday. My father died in 2015, a few months short of his 100th birthday.
You can hear a recording of this cycle online, by searching for "Experience" on the Albany label, with soprano Natalie Mann and pianist Jeffrey Panko.
The tenor version was created in December 2020.
