Beskrivning

These two contrasing songs, setting poems by Emily Dickinson, are highly contrasting. 'Summer' is meditative and nostalgic, whilst 'Hope' is mercurial and fleet-footed, evoking the skittering of a bird.

These two songs, on poems by Emily Dickinson, were written in the summer of 2017 for the soprano Rachel Farago. They are brief and highly contrasting: 'Summer' ('As imperceptibly as grief/ The summer lapsed away') is meditative and nostalgic, whilst 'Hope' ('Hope is the thing with feathers/ That perches in the soul') is mercurial and fleet-footed, evoking the skittering of a bird.
