Four
Arms, Two Necks is a
setting of a 17th century
anonymous poem. The
timelessness of the words
in the love poem struck
me and I set it to music,
later dedicating the song
to two friends, Anda and
Bill Winters, in
celebration of a wedding
anniversary. Orpheus is
from William
ShakespeareÂ?s play The
Life of King Henry VIII.
Between 1996-2000, I
composed and produced the
music for audio
recordings of all 38
Shakespeare plays in the
Complete Arkangel
Shakespeare collection.
This song from the play
was originallywritten for
lute accompaniment and I
later arranged the lute
part for piano. Agua,
Dónde Vas? is a
setting of a poem by
Federico GarcÃa Lorca.
In 1998, I visited
Barcelona to renew with a
dear friend, Lucia from
an illustrious family of
flamenco musicians and
dancers. We had met in
1985 when I first visited
Granada and was hanging
out in the flamenco
tablaoÂ?s of the
Albaicin and Granada
proper. Through Lucia I
got a glimpse of a world
in which LorcaÂ?s poetry
vibrated daily and as
casually as the music,
songs and rhythms that
peppered and punctuated
conversations,
discussions, exchanges of
opinions, mealtimes in
homes and bars and the
precious moments of just
hanging out.
