The Two Songs on American Poems were composed in late May and early June of 2011 by candlelight at my rustic waterfront cabin on a remote island off the northwest coast of Washington State. It was in this locale that I havecompleted a number of works over the years, including the Lux Aeterna, O Magnum Mysterium, Nocturnes, Canticle/O Vos Omnes and others. Prayer was written in memory of Michael Jasper Gioia, Dana and Mary Gioia's infant son, whosebrief life was tragically ended by SIDS.Mr. Gioia served as Chair of the National Endowment for the Arts from 2003-2010 and has authored several books of poems, numerous anthologies, articles, essays and two opera libretti. Amonghis many awards are the American Book Award and Presidential Citizens Medal. He currently holds the Judge Widney Chair of Poetry and Public Policy at the University of Southern California. Sure on this Shining Night was originallycomposed as a choral piece, the third movement of my Nocturnes on poems by Rilke, Neruda and Agee. Rod Gilfry, an international star of opera, recital and musical theater, premiered the mixed duet version with his daughter, Carin,in 2009. He is Professor of Vocal Studies at the USC Thornton School of Music. Both he and Mr. Gioia are national treasures. The Two Songs are designed as a pair but may be sung independently - when paired, Sure On This ShiningNight should begin immediatelyfollowing the final, sustained chord of Prayer with no break in between the songs. Both of these songs, premiered by Mr. Gilfry accompanied by the composer at a USC Visions & Voices tribute to DanaGioia on September 27, 2011, have their roots in the American musical theater and should be sung as such.

Fragmente - nicht ,,Lieder im ublichen Sinn. Fragmente, zugleich ,,Labyrinthe, existenziell wie asthetisch: Doppelbodigkeit von Musik und Sprache. Texte des mittleren Holderlin, als diesem die Welt aufbrach, als er in ihren Rissen und Trummern herumtastete, die verschiedenen Zeiten und Raume durcheinander bringend, aufeinander beziehend (so besonders exponiert in dem ersten Fragment ,,Tende Stromfeld, das Holderlin auf die Ruckseite einer Wascherechnung notierte). - Ein auslosender Moment der Komposition war die Vorstellung des Holderlinschen Gesangs, wie ihn Wilhelm Waiblinger beschrieb: Hat er eine Zeitlang (auf dem Klavier) gespielt und ist seine Seele ganz weich geworden, so fallt plotzlich sein Auge zu, sein Haupt richtet sich empor, er scheint vergehen zu wollen, und er beginnt zu singen. In welcher Sprache, das konnte ich nie erfahren, so oft ich es auch horte; aber er tat es mit uberschwanglichem Pathos, und es schauderte einem in allen Nerven, ihn so zu sehen und zu horen. Schwermut und Trauer waren der Geist seines Gesanges.Formal sind die Fragmente zum Teil reduzierbar auf die musikalischen Prinzipien Fantasia, Canto, Ornamento, Rondo, Recitativo. Inhaltlich ist der Zyklus eine Art Irrfahrt durch die Labyrinthe der Aussen- zur Innen-Welt, uber die verschiedenen Situationen von Traum, Lust, Sehnsucht, Trotz, Trauer, Verzweiflung bis zur Resignation, schon jenseits der Verzweiflung. Mit gewissem Vorbehalt: eine andere Winterreise.(Friedhelm Dohl)CD:Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (baritone), Aribert Reimann (piano)Dreyer-Gaido CD 21023World premiere: Cologne, 1971.
