Dr. Adelaide Whitaker commissioned this song cycle as a gift to her voice teacher Thomas Houser, who introduced her to the joys of poetry and specifically to the poetry of Mary Oliver. Mary Oliver's work presented unique challenges because her poems were longer and more complex than much of the poetry I had previously set. Richly atmospheric, these songs run the gamut of tempos and moods. The Sunflowers opens with a swaying piano accompaniment meant to portray sunflowers standing in a field. The surreal ambience of Dreams is created by a hypnotic accompaniment and weaving vocal line. Sunrise opens with a descending melody and expands into sweeping lyric lines supported by an arpeggiated piano accompaniment.
