S O N G S O F L O V E A N D L I F E was commissioned jointly by the

Alpha Iota Chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi and the University of Colorado at Boulder Department of Bands in honor of conductor Allan McMurray.

The poems chosen for S O N G S O F L O V E A N D L I F E — all written by contemporary American poets — were discovered slowly, after a painstak-

ingly long and careful search. Indeed, the only poem I had decided upon when

I began composing the work was Leland Kinsey’s “Swinging into the Night” with its beautiful depiction of a boy being pushed on a swing by an exhausted

but grateful parent. After several more weeks of searching, I stumbled upon two more stunningly powerful poems that further strengthened the themes of love

and life —Philip Booth’s delicate “First Lesson,” about a daughter being taught

to trust, and Steve Scafidi’s touching and witty “Prayer for a Marriage.” But it

took yet another two months to find the poem that would end the song cycle.

David Budbill’s vivid depiction of a man at the beginning of his old age — expressing nothing more than simple gratitude for being alive — struck me like a thunderbolt. I knew I’d found the perfect poem for my finale.

I am grateful to all four poets, whose words sustained and inspired me through-

out the creative process. I am also grateful for the opportunity to compose S O N G S O F L O V E A N D L I F E as a symbol of my enduring friend-

ship with Allan and his wife, Judy.

Movement I

Swinging into the Night by Leland Kinsey My boy is swinging and I push him. “Higher,” he cries and I push him till with his feet he pulls leaves and twigs from the weeping willow, tree carved on slate markers on the hill behind us. He holds on tightly, as I taught him the first times he wanted to go so high, and only once has his grip faltered as he let go to point at the rising full moon and he flew towards it and knocked his breath completely out for what seemed like minutes until he could breathe then cry then wanted to climb aboard for more, and I pushed him. Now he swings the other way, “This way then that way,” he says, and that way his feet go up into the grape arbor where they crush green grapes and later ripe ones will splatter. “I love swinging up into the night,” he says. He is big enough to pump. He laughs when I push him. My arms ache, I have pushed him so long, so hard. My wish is obvious, that this swinging freeze at this moment, go on forever. More strangely, he curves into time more huge than both of us together can imagine, and I push him.

Movement III

Prayer for a Marriage For Kathleen

by Steve Scafidi When we are old one night and the moon arcs over the house like an antique China saucer and the teacup sun follows somewhere far behind I hope the stars deepen to a shine so bright you could read by it if you liked and the sadnesses we will have known go away for awhile—in this hour or two before sleep—and that we kiss standing in the kitchen not fighting gravity so much as embodying its sweet force, and I hope we kiss like we do today knowing so much good is said in this primitive tongue from the wild first surprising ones to the lower dizzy ten thousand infinitely slower ones—and I hope while we stand there in the kitchen making tea and kissing, the whistle of the teapot wakes the neighbors.

Movement IV

Winter: Tonight: Sunset by David Budbill Tonight at sunset, walking on the snowy road, my shoes crunching on the frozen gravel, first through the woods, then out into the open fields past a couple of trailers and some pickup trucks, I stop and look at the sky. Suddenly: orange, red, pink, blue, green, purple, yellow, gray, all at once and everywhere. I pause in this moment at the beginning of my old age and I say a prayer of gratitude for getting to this evening, a prayer for being here, today, now, alive in this life, in this evening, under this sky.
