Solstice Songs The seasons, or more specifically, the passage of the solstices and equinoxes, form universal points of orientation that define the passage of time, and speak to our unique place in the celestial community. They are marked, celebrated and reflected on through the ages and across cultures in remarkable ways, including architecture, poetry and music. Interestingly the dictionary definition of song, despite immediately conjuring up ‘words set to music,’ is quite inclusive, embracing: poetry, the wordless songs of animals such as whales, and wordless musical composition. There are no words in Solstice Songs, however the writing is song-like in that it is lyrical and cantabile in style. It is the poetry of sound. Solstice Songs unfolds in three defined sections: I Adagio espressivo, II: Interlude, and III: Lively, dance-like. The first movement is lyrical in nature, with aural depictions of ancient monuments aligned to solar events. The second is a dark and atmospheric interlude, exploring distant thunder and unseen mechanics. The third is features oscillation between sections of layered nocturnal melody and a driving perpetuum mobile. In a larger context, Solstice Songs is the first of several related pieces. The second work in the cycle is a piano duo The River is Within Us , and the third is Still Turning, a work for solo cello and electronics. All three works share musical and poetic themes, and were composed in the spring, summer, and fall of 2011, respectively. Solstice Songs was commissioned by the Gryphon Trio with assistance from the Chamber Factory.
