Features
This cycle is a setting of three contrasting poems by Latin-American poets Leopoldo Lugones, Rube en Dari io and Jose e Marti i. 'Olas Grises' uses evocative rain and sea imagery to meditate on the nature of life and death. Set as a lyrical, quasi-strophic song, these images are portrayed through the opening percussion raindrop motive and the moaning vocal line used throughout the movement. 'Nocturno' is a frantic soliloquy set as an extended opera scene. The opening recitative is followed by a surreal aria. This is followed by a re-statement of both sections. 'Suen no Despierto' is a short poem about the contrasting images of a waking dream. Based on a fragment of the lullaby 'Nanita Nana,' heard in its entirety at the opening, the song is a set of three variations, followed by a coda, which portray these various images. Three Spanish Songs was commissioned by Michael Haithcock and the University of Michigan Symphony Band. This is the recital/rehearsal version of this piece. The vocal solo with wind ensemble accompaniment is also available (00-29639/$150)
