Songs of Love and Remembrance was commissioned by Peter Morris and Jack Frey and is dedicated to them. Scored for soprano, piano and harp with a duration of sixteen minutes, the work is divided into five movements, four songs separated by and instrumental interlude. The texts I chose are from the very beautiful and timeless poetry of the great Bengali poet Rabindranth Tagore.
Inspired by the forty-three relationship of my dear friends I organized this work like a short story, with each song representing a chapter of their life together.
