Numbers by Emily

 

A suite for choir with saxophone and piano, on three poems by Emily Dickinson.

These are computer-generated electronic recordings, not live performances, so the voices are heard as open vowel sounds, rather than as articulated words.

To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,

One clover, and a bee,

And revery.

The revery alone will do,

If bees are few.

Image of Light, Adieu -

Thanks for the Interview -

So long - so short -

Preceptor of the whole -

Coeval Cardinal -

Impart - Depart -

A word is dead

When it is said,

Some say.

I say it just

Begins to live

That day.
