A Momentary Art Song

From a Poem by Emily Dickinson

For Soprano and Piano


Forever – is composed of Nows –
‘Tis not a different time –
Except for Infiniteness –
And Latitude of Home –



Composed under the guidance of Dr. Daniel Kellogg at the University of Colorado.  Based on one-third of a poem which may be found in its entirety at The Poetry Foundation.  A simple, arch-shaped gesture of "now" reacts to an enlightened sentiment through an interesting harmonic progression, which happens to modulate to a tritone away from home and then alights there in contentment.
