may showers (2020)
for baritone and piano
performed by baritone Brett Voitik and pianist Sean Brogan
program notes
This song was a collaboration between Brett Voitik and myself. I asked Brett to write a poem that I could set to music.
the edges of the earth
meet the moon

while the may cicadas sing and have their fun
find us bathing in the sun till the showers overrun
now billowing clouds have shed their tears
but the weeping willows smile
since the end of the drought appeared
