Product Description

This piece is based on a poem by e.e. cummings. The subject matter is the special

heaven that would be created for the poets mother. The music shadows, augments,

and illuminates the rendition of the poem. In keeping with poetic symbolism, the piano

uses motifs and musical phrases to emulate the soprano throughout the piece

The tone of the piece is somewhat minor and modal; however, please portray a light-

hearted interpretationit should never be heavy or dark. The poet is uplifting his mother

to the highest stature possible, and portrays his father as devoted and loving towards

her.

The key is atonal; however, various tonality implications are heard throughout. The

piano pedal should be complimentary to the piece, with care not to be noticed or over-

bearing.

Please Note: there are two other versions of this piece by this composer:

One is for solo piano

One is for the ensemble of Soprano, Violin, Bassoon, Cello

Also please note: the mp3 is from computer notation; the the soprano does not sing words; 
please sing along with the mp3 following the text.
