Three American Madrigals
for SATB Chorus, a cappella

Details:

The Three American Madrigals includes settings of Frost, Whitman and Teasdale. Frost’s poem Bond and Free is another slow lyrical setting with contrasting tonalities accentuating the two halves of the poem. Likewise, the setting of Whitman’s Tears explores various diatonic modes while also employing constantly changing meters, thus yielding a feeling of fluidity. A setting of Sara Teasdale’s I Love You closes the cycle. The four symmetrical stanzas of the poem are exaggerated with chromatic—almost “barbershop-style”—harmonies in close spacing.
