Описание
The Soul Fox was commissioned by James Zakoura and Reach Out Kansas, Inc. (ROKI) for soprano Julia Broxholm and pianist Russell Miller. After presenting several poetic possibilities for song cycles to Julia and Russell, we all agreed upon these five poems by my frequent collaborator, poet David Mason. I composed the music between March 3 and April 14, 2013, subsequently revising the score in April 2017. Premiere performances by Julia and Russell took place September 22, 2013 at The University of Kansas School of Music and on October 2, 2013 at Eastman School of Music, with their CD release in March of 2017.
Despite a long history of working with Dave, setting these particular poems was a unique experience. Dave had recently undergone a huge upheaval in his life, reflected by these autobiographical poems written between April and November of 2011. The five poems I chose create a narrative that progresses from the pain of lying and the dissolution of Dave’s marriage, to his happiness and subsequent marriage to poet Cally Conan-Davies (aka Christine Allinson/Chrissy Mason). Setting these poems for soprano (as opposed to a male voice) creates an extra layer of interest – and gives the singer an opportunity to truly become another character.
