Woodside's setting of American satirical poet and author Dorothy Parker peers into her world and thoughts and perfectly captures both. Her acid wit and raw truth is mirrored in the sometimes brusque, sometimes reflective writing.

A dynamic and heartfelt setting of text by Native American poet Paula Gunn Allen, What the Moon Said is a multifaceted affair, reflecting its source. Piano reduction; Baritone with string quartet is also available.This 9-minute work is a setting of the beautiful and evocative poem of the same name by NativeAmerican poet Paula Gunn Allen. Lauren Bernofsky was drawn to its strong, yet changing, moods.The resulting piece moves through several characters: lonely and austere; angry; warm and content;reflective. In between each mood the music returns to an echo of the opening austere music, tyingthe piece together into an enchanting whole. The composer herself is a violinist, and so the stringwriting is idiomatic and highly effective.

Baritone Voice & Piano Duration: 17' Composed: 2014 Published by: Amy Mills Music, LLC These three art songs can be performed independently or in sequence, at any time of the year. Stuart McAlpine’s profound text explores three men from the Christmas story, Joseph, the Inn-keeper, and Simeon. The creative and beautiful musical settings allow for powerfully dramatic interpretation and performance. To Joseph (who taught me how to look at art) The singer sings to Joseph, …you beheld a work of art, the making of a holy heart… and watching through Joseph’s eyes, when hung at last, its meaning was decreed. (4:40) The Inn-keeper’s Lament McAlpine brilliantly explores the possibility…what if the inn-keeper who turned away Mary & Joseph later became the inn-keeper who accepted the injured man brought in by the Good Samaritan? This powerfully dramatic piece depicts the Bethlehem inn-keeper’s bravado, Caeser’s decree was heaven sent, as guests raised glasses, I raised rent! But as the enormity of his mistake became apparent, in later years he bemoans, …if I’d known then what I know now… and finally declares at the end, I know now! (7:50) Simeon’s Last Prayer Simeon sings of being summoned to the temple where he holds his infant Savior. …then as grandfathers do, rejoiced as if he were my one-and-only too. As he leaves he whispers his final prayer, …dismiss your servant, to find You face-to-face. (4:30) Difficulty Level: Baritone/Mezzo-Soprano 6 (Professional) (Baritone Range: low A (optional low G) to high F# (optional high G,A) (Mezzo Range: low A (optional low G) to high G (optional high A) Piano 6 (Professional)(Same level as Debussy or Ravel) See also the version for Mezzo-Soprano and Piano See composer website for audio sample.
