There is another sky (2018)

for soprano and piano

Duration: 2:00

This work attempts to emulate the compositional style and techniques found in Aaron Copland's Twelve Poems of Emily Dickinson.

Text (by Emily Dickinson):

There is another sky,

Ever serene and fair,

And there is another sunshine,

Though It be darkness there;

Never mind faded forests, Austin,

Never mind silent fields -

Here is a little forest,

Whose leaf Is ever green;

Here is a brighter garden,

Where not a frost has been;

In its unfading flowers

I hear the bright bee hum:

Prithee, my brother,

Into my garden come!
