Roses Are Falling - 5 songs for Mezzo-Soprano and Piano by Bent Sorensen (1998) with lyrics by Selima Hill. Programme note: Roses are Falling had its origin in a small opera sketch I created with the English poet Selima Hill in just under a week during an opera workshop in the south of England in the autumn of 1998. After the workshop I was asked to make a song cycle out of the material. The opera sketch begins with a woman and a man sitting alone in a room. They have drawn aside from the rest of a large party and they have just decided to finish their love affair. The other guests at the party come into the room, and amidst the crowd the man leaves the room. The women is leftthere alone among all these inconsequential people: alone, singing her own thoughts and torment. The first three songs were all taken from this part. In the fourth song, which was written late, the text is taken from one of Selima Hill's poetry collections. The fifth and last song comes partly from the beginning of the opera, where the man and the women sit alone (she knows what is coming), partly from the end of the story, where despite the gab in time and space they touch each other with their dreams. His voice is heard as a whisper that merges with hers: He takes me in his arms like the moon that turns and take the evening from the sun. Roses are Falling was premiered in 2000 in London by Lore Lixenberg and Domenic Saunders.

A cycle of songs that each offer a “window” into a different wintry scene. There is, of course, a snow-man, and there are snowflakes and fields piled high in snow drifts, but the piece also reflects the darkness of winter in the loneliness of a bird calling out in the wintry darkness, a gentle lullaby lovingly watching over a babe in the dark of a winter night, and the welcome warmth of a fireside after a day of work out in the winter woods.

This setting of a poem by Danusha Laméris captures a tender moment of departure between lovers, expressed through rich imagery of soft beds and the anticipation of rain. Laméris' evocative words paint a scene of intimacy and longing, with a subtle plea for peace amidst the chaos of the world. The song delicately explores themes of love, memory, and the transient beauty of fleeting moments.
