When I Was One-and-Twenty (A. E. Housman) II. For An Amorous Lady (Theodore Roethke) III. Love Me Not for Comely Grace (John Wilbye) IV. So Let Us Live - Really Live! (Gaius Valerius Catullus) The four love songs that that constitute So Let Us Live Really Live! were commissioned by John Goodman in honor of his wife Kerry Kings fiftieth birthday. The set with its (relatively) light poetry and (excessively) tonal settings - was originally intended as "Hausmusik" ("house music"), music to be performed privately among (semi-inebriated) friends. However, certain personal events that occurred during their composition have compelled me to go public with them, and thus, with John and Kerrys indulgence, they are receiving their premiere here, rather than in a living room. A thousand-and-one thanks to Allen Shearers wonderful voice and Lino Riveras exquisite hands, which were constantly in my minds ear during the composition of the songs. With love to Kerry, from John and Bob. All poems used by permission.
