Two Songs from "War is Kind" for Mezzo-Soprano and Orchestra
Abstract
dc:description.abstract"Two Songs from ‘War is Kind' for Mezzo-Soprano and Orchestra" were composed to text by poet and author Stephen Crane from his set of poems entitled "War is Kind". Full instrumentation includes flute 1 and 2; oboe 1 and 2; B-flat clarinet 1 and 2; bassoon; horn in F 1, 2, 3, and 4' mezzo-soprano; violin 1 and 2; viola; cello; and double bass. The first song, "To the Maiden", is in form A-B in keeping with the poem. The second song, "The Chatter of a Death Demon", is in form A-B-A, also in keeping with the poem. Both poems deal with individual horrors of war and are set for mezzo-soprano and orchestra in such a way as to enliven the text.
