i thank You God, Song Cycle for Mezzo Soprano and piano Piano, Vocal - Digital Sheet Music

1. a true blue dream of sky,

This piece is a Song Cycle of three songs. The titles of the songs are lines from the poem. The poem is by e.e. cummings, used with permission. Each song emphasizes portions of the complete poem. The composer's intent is to place the same emphasis as Cummings portrayed in his recitation, a copy of which is online; see the YouTube link. 1. a true blue dream of sky, states the entire poem, with emphasis as portrayed inCummings recitation. The voice is lyrical and theatrical, with spoken words andhumming, as well as singing. The accompaniment implicates solidity, predictability,strength of the nature of God; but also wonderment, freedom and being light-hearted.The composer chose to title this song using a line in the poem, rather than the mostused title — which begins the cycle of key elements of the poem used to title andcomprise songs 2 and 3 — thereby placing importance as Cummings recited.2. of life and of love and wings, is more lyrical and lighter in nature than song #1. This song emphasis God’s creations, and seemingly joy He displayed while creating them, giving them wings of freedom for life and love.3. unimaginable You, is more reflective, using a modal tone — all to emphasize thereactions of Cummings to the wonderment and magnitude of God. He concludes with:(and now the ears of my ears awake andnow the eyes of my eyes are opened)Also please note: The price includes permission to make two copies of the pdf.
