Title: Five Songs for Medium Voice andn Piano

1. Daliah’s Soup (unidentified Upper West Side school child)
2. O you whom I often and silently come (Walt Whitman)
3. Little Elegy (Elinor Wylie)
4. Mentor (Rainer Maria Rilke)
5. The Secret Garden (Rita Dove)

 "Contrary to several other contemporary compositions based on my work, I found your setting to be sensitive to the subtleties of the text in a way that intensifies the intermingling of meaning (story, word) with form (rhythm, silence). The result is Real Music: A song that lives its story, a story that sings. I feel gratified, exalted, and exulted. Thank you! Please accept my undiluted thanks for giving 'The Secret Garden' a musical magic carpet."
