Nearly Ready….or do I speak too soon!
Ode to a Nightingale is finally pulling together. I’m getting very close to beginning the recording process. My first reaction to putting this great work to music was a bit overwhelming. But patient, inching progress has led to something I think will be very nice and fitting of the great sentiments.
My favorite part: “Was it a vision or a waking dream? Fled is that music-do I wake or sleep?” (The very last lines)
Of course I love the whole poem. I hope you will like what I’m doing with it.
Happy Birthday, Michael Head
In celebration of this very fine composer, pianist and singer, Michael Head, I made a little video of his song “A Piper” which was part of a recital that included two more of his ” Songs from the Countryside.”

Relying on original lyrics as well as some of the great Romantic poems of the past, his songs evoke a sense of connection to our fellow man, the world and the universe.
