A Child's Garden of Verses
$24.99
for Voice and Piano
In searching for a text for my first set of art songs I found myself gravitating towards poetry that evoked a feeling of nostalgia. After reading the first few poems of Robert Louis Stevenson's "A Child's Garden of Verses" I knew that this was what I needed to set. Each of the first eight poems is set as a distinct song that evokes the idea of an adult looking back on childhood memories with a mixture of fondness and longing.
