SECOND APRIL for
S.A.T.B. Chorus and Piano
is a four-movement set,
based on the poetry of
Edna St. Vincent Millay.
I have long been enamored
with the poetry of Millay
for its wonderfully vivid
and descriptive imagery,
and its often powerful
and profound meaning.
Millay’s descriptions
of nature, and of
feelings and emotions,
have always spoken to me.
SECOND APRIL consists of
four of her poems, each
with a distinctive mood,
message, and emotional
feel. They are vivid,
powerful, and beautiful,
inspiring me to capture
these descriptions of the
various scenes she
portrays. Song of a
Second April uses music
to underlie strong
feelings, passions, and
the tragedies of life.
The poem itself is
dramatic, detailing a
time of personal strife
and tragedy, perhaps the
end of a relationship or
even the end of a life.
The music is intense,
fast, in a minor key, and
with rapid, spinning
notes creating a feeling
of powerful, relentless
emotions. Melodies,
motives, and gestures are
tossed between the
voices, increasing the
feelings of intensity and
even desperation. Little
by little, the music
almost dies away, getting
quieter and quieter,
creating a feeling of
resignation, but with a
Picardy Third in the
final chord – maybe a
bit of hope! Mariposa
is a celebration of
nature, wandering through
a field with white and
blue butterflies
appearing almost
wondrously. But there’s
also a profound feeling
of poignancy, noting that
as one relishes such a
beautiful, magical sight,
they should embrace the
experience – the
fleeting, transient
nature of such a perfect
vision and of life
itself. The music
portrays the flying of
the butterflies: gentle,
beautiful, with rich
chords and arpeggios, but
stepping back, as the
fleeting nature of life
is the reality, with
gentle, but sombre chords
interspersed with the
magical flight of the
Mariposa.Alms is a fast
rondo, intense, bold, and
always dance-like. It is
about both tragedy and
resilience. This music is
also in minor, yet with
moments of playfulness,
as a recollection of
happy times or moments
takes over. This seesaw
between emotions is heard
throughout the movement,
as the music continues to
“dance.” And with
Millay’s summing up of
“reality being what it
is,” the piece ends
with strength, boldness,
and finality. Into the
Golden Vessel of Great
Song is an appassionato
call to overcome! The
poem exhorts us to
“sing out” with hope,
determination, and
strength. The music is
full of bright and
lilting energy; but as
the turmoil and times of
strife people can
sometimes feel or
experience, the music
becomes intense,
dramatic, in a minor key,
and with changing
rhythms. BUT, there is a
return to championing the
idea of simply
overcoming, going forward
with hope and
determination, and the
music is in major,

this timeless spiritual
favorite offers energy,
variety and is sure to
inspire through its
uplifting melody of hope
and determination for a
better life -no matter

festival
approved!.
Let Me Fly
is an American spiritual
which, on the surface,
tells of a yearning for
the promised land of
heaven. On a deeper
level, its early singers
envisioned an escape from
slavery, with the
Underground Railroad
serving as the chariot.
In either case, the song
is an uplifting melody of
hope and determination
for a better life, no
matter the obstacle.
Please take note of the
layered section in mm.
55-62, which starts with
Part II, adds Part I in
m. 57, and completes the
layering with Part III at
m. 59. The repeated
measures of 59-60 allow
for an accompanist or
soloist to improvise
while the choir sings and

number of repeats is up
to the discretion of the

UPC: 680160918904. Key: F
major. English. Robert
Frost. About the
work ... Few American
poems are as well known
as The Road Not Taken.
Robert Frost, the author,
is an international icon,
not unlike Pablo Picasso,
Winston Churchill or Mark
Twain in their own
disciplines.The poem is
full of contradictions
and quirks of form and
structure. Perhaps that
illusiveness is part of
the poem's intrigue. But
beyond all of the
literary devices that
only a few scholars may
fully appreciate, this
poem has taken on a sort
of fanfare for the common
person credo - a
challenge to
individualism, stepping
out on one's own, and
breaking the mold out of
sheer determination if
nothing else. Frost
connects to the core of
the human spirit in just
a few stanzas using the
analogy of a fork in a
road. The message super
cedes geography, culture,
race or creed. Rather, it
is part of the DNA of
most every person on the
planet - the inner desire
to feel empowered to
create one's own destiny,
to forge a road not
taken, and ultimately in
doing so, to make a
difference. Rehearsal
notes ... Research
strongly suggests that
there is a direct
connection between the
first rehearsal and the
performance. First
impressions last. I find
it helpful to immediately
lock three concepts into
place - mechanics
(notes/rhythms),
text/phrasing (intent and
motivation) and color
(timbre). Performers need
to think musically from
the first reading forward
(first impression). The
cello is very much a
collaborative instrument
in this work, and should
be located in front of
the ensemble (not to
side). Lastly, let the
text speak. The simplest
melodic lines are often
the most exposed. Keep
the voices clear and
transparent, floating
over the top in softer
passages, and singing
with vibrancy and forward
focus throughout. Z.

who persevere and

challenges with fearless
determination. Set in G
major, this triumphant
theme features a strong,
accented melody and
energetic accompaniments
that frequently utilize
double-stops for a
resounding effect. The
shadows of hardship are
heard in a brief shift to
E minor before the
victorious melody returns
with joy that defies

attracting a sweetheart.
Using only his fins, he
prepares the
“canvas†(the
sandy ocean floor), and
for the next week,
working 24 hours a day,
he carves a beautiful
medallion of swirls and
ridges. Shell pieces and
pebbles are collected to
adorn the masterpiece.
And he waits.I was so
moved by the careful
preparation,
determination, patience,
and artistry of this
little fish who has no
guarantees of finding
true love. The phenomenon
reminded me very much of
the act of composing
– of creating
something out of nothing
with few guarantees.
Rather than attempting to
capture any action
programmatically, I tried
instead to express, in
the abstract, the sense
of anticipation, lovelorn
hopefulness – and
the optimism of a tiny,
unsung hero. [The puffer
fish is a member of the
Chordata phylum.]-Melinda

major. Resolute was
composed to celebrate the
enduring spirit of those
who persevere and
overcome difficult
challenges with fearless
determination. Set in G
major, this triumphant
theme features a strong,
accented melody and
energetic accompaniments
that frequently utilize
double-stops for a
resounding effect. The
shadows of hardship are
heard in a brief shift to
E minor before the
victorious melody returns
with joy that defies
darkness with courageous
hope. The same way we
support each other
through trials, many
melodies and
countermelodies are
doubled between sections
to portray strength and
resolve.Resolute was
premiered by the East
River High School
Orchestra in May of 2022
under the direction of
Mr. Scott Friedberg in
honor of the
orchestra’s 4-year
anniversary, and
dedicated to the
courageous students who
continued to make music
through the pandemic,
demonstrating
determination and
tenacity in their
passionate pursuit of
musical excellence.

Program
Notes by Eric
EwazenSECOND APRIL for
S.A.T.B. Chorus and Piano
is a four-movement set,
based on the poetry of
Edna St. Vincent Millay.
I have long been enamored
with the poetry of Millay
for its wonderfully vivid
and descriptive imagery,
and its often powerful
and profound meaning.
Millay’s descriptions
of nature, and of
feelings and emotions,
have always spoken to me.
SECOND APRIL consists of
four of her poems, each
with a distinctive mood,
message, and emotional
feel. They are vivid,
powerful, and beautiful,
inspiring me to capture
these descriptions of the
various scenes she
portrays. Song of a
Second April uses music
to underlie strong
feelings, passions, and
the tragedies of life.
The poem itself is
dramatic, detailing a
time of personal strife
and tragedy, perhaps the
end of a relationship or
even the end of a life.
The music is intense,
fast, in a minor key, and
with rapid, spinning
notes creating a feeling
of powerful, relentless
emotions. Melodies,
motives, and gestures are
tossed between the
voices, increasing the
feelings of intensity and
even desperation. Little
by little, the music
almost dies away, getting
quieter and quieter,
creating a feeling of
resignation, but with a
Picardy Third in the
final chord – maybe a
bit of hope! Mariposa
is a celebration of
nature, wandering through
a field with white and
blue butterflies
appearing almost
wondrously. But there’s
also a profound feeling
of poignancy, noting that
as one relishes such a
beautiful, magical sight,
they should embrace the
experience – the
fleeting, transient
nature of such a perfect
vision and of life
itself. The music
portrays the flying of
the butterflies: gentle,
beautiful, with rich
chords and arpeggios, but
stepping back, as the
fleeting nature of life
is the reality, with
gentle, but sombre chords
interspersed with the
magical flight of the
Mariposa.Alms is a fast
rondo, intense, bold, and
always dance-like. It is
about both tragedy and
resilience. This music is
also in minor, yet with
moments of playfulness,
as a recollection of
happy times or moments
takes over. This seesaw
between emotions is heard
throughout the movement,
as the music continues to
“dance.” And with
Millay’s summing up of
“reality being what it
is,” the piece ends
with strength, boldness,
and finality. Into the
Golden Vessel of Great
Song is an appassionato
call to overcome! The
poem exhorts us to
“sing out” with hope,
determination, and
strength. The music is
full of bright and
lilting energy; but as
the turmoil and times of
strife people can
sometimes feel or
experience, the music
becomes intense,
dramatic, in a minor key,
and with changing
rhythms. BUT, there is a
return to championing the
idea of simply
overcoming, going forward
with hope and
determination, and the
music is in major,
resonant and strong.

abundance of Classical
piano literature in
print. Every publisher
has a collection of piano
classics in their catalog
and the differences are
determined by several
factors. When we narrow
the field to include only
"unedited original works"
of the greatest
composers, the largest
difference is content.
