Product Description

Secrets of Ferns is a song-cycle of five pieces for mezzo-soprano and piano. The pieces depict the beauty, passion, love and suffering of human life and its relation to nature. The tonal inferences are abstracted in a way to compel thoughtful reflection of our natural world while leading us toward inner contemplation of the suffering and beauty of our personal lives.

Doe and Fawn, based on a poem by Sara Pirkle Hughes begins in a pastoral setting reminiscent of the music of Aaron Copeland. The music eventually deepens into the obligations we feel as children and later as parents. As the fawn runs after the doe it ends in a somber tone of reflection; "who wouldnt remember the grateful burden of living for another."
