I love subjects regarding the world of children and have recently wanted to write songs about them. The opportunity arose when I received a call from the Atlantic Center for the Arts asking me if I would be interested in attending a residency in Tuscany where song cycles by six composers would be rehearsed and premiered. Songs of Childhood was the result of this wonderful time. The four songs that comprise this cycle are set to poems by Christina Rosetti, a nineteenth-century English poet. The cycle begins and ends with simple, but lush lullabies. In between, I portray the playful world of children with a humorous pancake song, 'Mix a Pancake,' ? then a dreamy song asking whether the moon is tired.
J’adore les sujets reliés au monde des enfants et je désirais depuis quelque temps écrire des mélodies à leur intention. L’occasion s’est présentée quand j’ai un reçu un coup de fil de l’Atlantic Center for the Arts. On me demandait si j’aimerais participer à un programme d’artiste en résidence en Toscane, où l’on devait répéter et crééer les cycles de mélodies de six compositeurs. Songs of Childhood est le résultat de ce merveilleux séjour. Les quatre mélodies qui forment ce cycle mettent en musique des poèmes de Christina Rosetti, une poétesse anglaise du dix-neuvième siècle. Le cycle commence et se termine par des berceuses simples mais expressives. Entre les deux, je dépeins l’univers enjoué des enfants par une mélodie humoristique au sujet des crêpes, « Mix a Pancake », puis par une mélodie rêveuse demandant pourquoi la lune est fatiguée.
