Art Songs
When I was a music student at a conservatorium which shall remain unnamed, not only did I fail in almost every
subject, but to cap it off, composition was not a subject option! Perhaps as a result of feeling somewhat
melancholic, I wrote these three songs when I was studying the Schubert "Winter's Journey" song cycle at the
conservatorium. The songs are quite chromatic and difficult to sing. As of this moment (November 1996) the songs
have not been performed either privately or publicly. If you decide to give them a world premiere, then please
let me know and I will place an acknowledgment here. You could become world famous :-)
The music you are listening to is Song of the Vine.
