E. Cummings.

I did not secure nor know much about copyright permission to set copyrighted poems to music, neither did the conservatory stress or teach much about this important issue at that time. When I discovered how expensive it was to pay Liveright Publishing Corporation for copyright permission, I filed this song away awaiting the day that Cummings' poem enters the public domain which occurred for the USA in 2019. Until it did, I decided to make the music available as a song without words for instrumentalists, so I arranged it for oboe or soprano saxophone and piano in 2009.
I hope you enjoy "There Is a Flower"/ "Is there a flower (whom". Thank you for your time and attention.
