In the Solitude of Sounds, for soprano and piano, is a setting of a lovely poem by Bela Lisa Friedman. It was commissioned by Susan Naruki.
Description
This lovely poem was written by Bela-Lisa Friedman, who happens to be both a talented writer and my sister. A beautifully heartfelt poem describing how even when love may not be detectable to our senses, when we have doubts, our heart knows. When she showed it to me I immediately felt it needed music. In the Solitude of Sounds was originally the opening of a larger song cycle One Into One. It is often performed as a separate song as well. The elaborate and virtuosic piano part is an attempt to capture the shifting emotions bubbling under the surface. Susan Naruki, who commissioned the song, and Allison Voth premiered the work at Miller Theatre in New York City. For more info about this work click here.
Score is available as a downloadable PDF file.
