Three Poems of David Brooks Audio Sample
Suitable for all voices, this song cycle was inspired by the poetry of Australian writer David Brooks. The three poems used in this song cycle came from David’s anthology “The Cold Front”. In this instance, David's poems are written in the manner of the deep image poets of America. “The Cold Front” represents a journey by the poet through the darker side of his nature; however, within the poetry we see tremendous beauty and hope.
The three poems selected for the song cycle, “Here”, “The Dead” and “Explanation”, bind the piece into a coherent whole. Emotionally the songs represented to the composer: fear and acceptance, fear and mystery, joy, relief and irony.
This performance is by Anne Millar (Mezzosoprano) and Jana Kovar (Piano). The book of this recording can be purchased and downloaded from the Vocal Products section of this website.
