Program Note
These songs were first composed as part of a set of seven songs for soprano and six instruments entitled dancesing in a green bay. That work was commissioned, premiered and recorded by Dallas-
based Voices of Change (CD: innova 588)
While at the Djerassi Resident Artist Program in 2007, I recomposed four of those songs for soprano and piano, making this shorter set.
The songs may be performed individually as well, particularly songs 3 and 4.
