Calabrese: Honey and Salt for Voice & Piano (or Guitar)

Description

Honey and Salt Four Songs for High Voice an Piano is a song cycle that creates a complimentary tone poem to four poems written by Carl Sandburg in his collection called Honey and Salt. The four poems that are included in this song cycle are the following: “Offering and Rebuff,” “Two Fish,” “Metamorphosis,” and “Solo for Saturday Night Guitar.” The music in each song creates a symbiotic relationship with the text on multi-levels; that is, the songs exemplify properties of tone poems while manifesting the dramatic content. –Helmut Christoferus Calabrese (2008)
