DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Commissioned for Dr. Sharon Hansen and the Milwaukee Choral Artists 10th anniversary, this three-movement set is suitable for only the very best collegiate and professional womens choirs. The accompaniment requires an accomplished pianist, and only the most mature singers will be able to handle the vocal demands of the choral writing and the emotional demands of the poetry. For those that can, though, the rewards are tremendous.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Music is a vital element in the poems and prose of Emily Dickinson but, despite its importance, the function of music as a literary technique in her work has not yet been fully explored; what information exists is scarce and scattered. The significance of the musical terminology and imagery in Dickinson's poetry and prose are thoroughly explored in this book. It considers the music of Dickinson's life and times and how it influenced her writing, how she combined music and poetry to create her own style, several important nineteenth century reviews for what they reveal about the musical quality of her work, and her use of Protestant hymns as a model for her poetry. It also provides insights into musical interpretations of her poetry as related to the author by some fifty modern-day composers and arrangers, and discusses musical reflections of her poems and letters.
