I. Foxgloves II. If So Hap May Be III. [Interlude] IV. Lesson
Foxgloves
Your heart was handed over
Lesson
to the foxgloves one hot summer afternoon. The snowsilk buds nodded and hung drowsy.
In early April the trees
So the stalks believed
end their winter waiting
As they held those buds above.
with a creep of green on branches.
In deep wells of white
••
The dark fox fingers go in these gloves. In a slow fold of summer
In early October the trees listen for a wind crying,
Your heart was handed over in a curve from bud to bloom.
for leaves whirling. •• The face of the river by night
If So Hap May Be
holds a scatter of stars and the silence of summer blossoms
Be somber with those in smoke garments. Laugh with those eating bitter weeds. Burn your love with bold flame blossoms, If so hap may be.
falling to the moving water •• Come clean with a child heart. Laugh as peaches in the summer wind.
Leave him with a soft snowfall memory, If so hap may be.
Let rain on a house roof be a song. Let the writing on your face
••
be a smell of apple orchards in late June.
Never came winter stars more clear
••
yet the stars lost themselves midnight came snow-wrought snow-blown ••
“Foxgloves” “If So Hap May Be” and “Lesson” from HONEY AND SALT by Carl Sandburg. Copyright © 1963 by Carl Sandburg and renewed 1991 by Margaret Sandburg, Helga Sandburg Crile and Janet Sandburg. Used by permission of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company. All rights reserved.
Program Note After completing my undergraduate degree in May of 2014, I frequently found myself occupying a quiet nook and reading the late poems of Carl Sandburg. These poems were, to me, like an epigraph for the upcoming month I had set aside for rest and reflection. As I read through HONEY AND SALT, Sandburg’s final collection of poems, I felt a kinship with the late American poet who, in the sweet air of the western North Carolina Mountains, reflected on his life with a poignant nostalgia I somehow related to as a burned-out twenty-two year old. I pre-composed the piece at one of my favorite places on Earth – my grandmother’s mountain home in Flat Rock, North Carolina, just a few miles away from the Carl Sandburg Home where Sandburg lived the last couple decades of his life. When speaking of their home (named "Connemara") in rural Flat Rock, Sandburg’s wife Paula once said, “We didn’t just buy two-hundred and forty-five acres when we bought Connemara – we bought a million acres of sky, too!” In each of these songs, I sought to create a unique musical landscape that would augment the restful beauty of Sandburg’s poetry and harken back to the land where it was written. The soprano melodies (most of which came to me as if prewritten and awaiting dictation) float atop lulls and bursts of instrumental texture and explore themes of innocence, loss, and beauty.
Performance Note Soprano: Opening passage for glockenspiel in “Foxgloves” will be played on the percussionist’s glockenspiel. As soon as the passage is over, walk to the singer position of the stage. Harp: 8va markings only apply to the stave in which they are written. Piano: Sustain pedal should be held down throughout entirety of “Foxgloves” and “Lesson”. 8va markings only apply to the stave in which they are written. The third song (“Lesson”) is scored for piano and toy piano. Violoncello: Tremoli marked “rit. tremolo” call for the cellist to gradually decelerate the tremolo speed between the tremolo note and the nearest ordinary note so that there is a smooth entry into normal bowing. Percussion: Percussion battery is comprised of two Zildjian Zil-Bels (6” & 9.5”), almglocken, crotales, glockenspiel, field drum, 29” timpano, suspended ride cymbal, kick drum (mounted), and concert bass drum. Drum sticks, swizzle sticks, mallets, and one contrabass bow are needed. Bowed crotale notation should be interpreted as follows: bow for the entire notated duration of the given pitch and let resound ad infinitum. Care was given to estimate in advance how long it would take to “warm up the sound” by bowing the instrument. It is planned so that the peak volume will be reached just before a rest (at which point, the crotale will begin a gradual decay). Rolled notes on the suspended ride are always played with soft mallets. Consequently, swizzle sticks are necessary for passages with quick transitions between cymbal rolls and drum hits. Cymbals should resound after being struck unless a choke specified (indicated by a “+”).
