Dear march come in : for a cappella choir, 2002 / poems by Emily Dickinson, Robert Heppener

Other authors:
Dickinson, Emily (Text writer/Librettist)
Heppener, Robert (Composer)
Contains:
Dear march, come in
There came a wind like a bugle
It's like the light
The gentian weaves her fringes
Safe in their alabaster chambers
To make a prairie
At last to be identified
Description:
Program note (English): The writer Vestdijk was the first in the Netherlands who discovered Emily Dickinson's poetry. Throughout her life she wrote about her world at home and in the garden, which she never left. Choreographer and dancer Martha Graham frequently used the poetry of Emily Dickinson in her work. So I can recall a ballet from 1940 "Letter to the world", in which one dancer ran forward as he shouted: "Dear March come in". This made such an impression on me at the time that I then made a plan for a choral piece with several poems by Emily Dickinson. The result is this work from 2002, in which I have used seven of her poems. - ROBERT HEPPENER
