Vocal music
Sorrow (2009; soprano, piano; 3:28)
Amanda Hick, soprano - Scott Noriega, piano (recorded live, 4 Acts @ the Black Box, Sept. 26, 2009)
Sorrow like a ceaseless rain
Beats upon my heart.
People twist and scream in pain,—
Dawn will find them still again;
This has neither wax nor wane,
Neither stop nor start.
People dress and go to town;
I sit in my chair.
All my thoughts are slow and brown:
Standing up or sitting down
Little matters, or what gown
Or what shoes I wear.
Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950)
Engraved on the Collar of a Dog,
Which I Gave to His Royal Highness (2009; soprano, piano; 1:39)
Amanda Hick, soprano - Scott Noriega, piano (recorded live, 4 Acts @ the Black Box, Sept. 26, 2009)
I am his Highness' dog at Kew; Pray tell me, sir, whose dog are you?
Alexander Pope (1688-1744)
