I: Early Ghosts (from Loose Pages) When first I beheld The sight of self alone, Here standing upon a floor-- A new sensitive throne-- By dark corners round I shaded myself, in hope That some light or people Would be seen through a grate. But by the might of pictures Each sighted object looked As if my soul was but a fortune-- To its memory, meaning booked. II: Charm (from Sonnets of Apology) Charm! the haunt of souls inspiration The gilded spirals of feigned illusions The exhilaration of loves committance The great awe of aeoleans Blur mutations Wild luscious shimmering silk Hues of Roses The Lure of slumber's innocent hum That o'er sylvan almond shades at night Breath the tiny stars that of moonlight Bright keep the slur of insects muse astir Beneath the tall blowing alfalfa's lowly Blades The early sky recurls her clouds with Deep purple Again sieves revelation of cosmics change And heals the twilight of orbs restitution Leaves its remains in the circle of suns ablution

III: Illusive Evolution (from Sick Sleuth Sonnets) What traveling grace halts you to know Abuse from woes turning grasp of ween And ever Natures proof - pends a whiring show - That shades, the lustre tree From Kin, the turban claims of prime That hold the bettered hopeful slime That never reals, into helpful glee But kills the colored windy scent through such marvel growths unbent By the riches of shape and gloss We happy feel a lusive love From the state of wonder assume Ah yet he who spells rest untold Brings thither, the soil of foreign mold IV: Trees (from The Holy Ghost and Other Poems)

Trees - leaneate the sky as a map - in winter And summer we seek the Hidden Heaven The muscle that reveals the Beautiful stately plants As the Buds red in spring - The informed part That Nature proud secretly Hides Trees are Beloved as memories of old The Orchard stalks - and Trunks - laden with the spicy Fruits - and ground covered Blossoms Which the wind cleans while time In Blowing gust and muse is Here

Program Notes

I had never heard of Samuel Greenberg (1893-1917), but had been deeply involved with

setting a number of poems by Hart Crane, and it was through him that I stumbled upon

this turn-of-the-century unique American writer through Crane’s documented praise. I

found myself remarkably engrossed with these terse works: this is a spontaneous poetry,

sheathed in a pure surrealist tone (which antedates the more famous movement begun

after World War I) and imbued with an unexpectedly raw expressiveness that

immediately responds to musical embellishment.

This first encounter resulted in the composition of a set of songs for soprano, alto, and

piano (Loose Pages), which were written in the Fall of 2000. Since then, I have returned

to Greenberg again and again, selecting poems for the present composition from a variety

of his collections (including the Sonnets of Apology, The Holy Ghost and Other Poems,

Sick Sleuth Sonnets, and Loose Pages) that have intimately related subject matter. The

title of this set for mezzo-soprano and piano, The Flower that Swept by Bliss, is a quote

from his poem O gaze untold (from the Sick Sleuth Sonnets), that seems to summarize the

nature of the author himself:

I wandered alone to the desert and found the fever dry But the flower that swept By Bliss Is still Blown and unsought at thee nigh

The only image of Greenberg I know is that of him at the time of his Bar Mitzvah; the

dusty, dark synagogues of early 20th century New York instantaneously came to mind.

The unison rhythmic, declamatory intonations of Jewish chant, the cascade of words as if

a supplication, the propulsive nature of the poems themselves, the sinuous, fleeting

emotions that characterize Greenberg's words, the painfully personal - yet utterly

universal - essence of his utterances, the timid voice of youth turned adult only to be cut

down in premature death - all of these factors contributed to my choice of sounds that

surround my settings of his works.
