Description:
Ewazen; who has long been captivated by the poetry of Edna St. Vincent Millay; chose three special texts for the 'lovely lyric voice' of soprano Joday Dall'Armi in 1990. Each of the three poems celebrates the beauty of our world in a different light; from a fleeting glimpse that remains only in memory; to an underlying understanding that we; ourselves; will not always be here to appreciate that beauty. Ten years later; Ewazen was moved to create a version for trumpet and piano for Chris Gekker; who has recorded the work on Albany Records (TROY670); and also later transcribed a marimba accompaniment; as well. For advanced performers.
