My Shakespeare songs draw their texts from five of the poet’s famous love sonnets. A thread that connects all of these texts is sadness over the loss of a loved one who is far away, and that was my state of mind when I wrote them. They were first performed by baritone Philip Frohnmayer and pianist Logan Skelton. The recordings of the second and fourth songs here were made by baritone Charles Wesley Evans and pianist Amir Khosrowpour.
- Those lines that I before have writ do lie
- My love is strength’ned though more weak in seeming
- How oft, when thou, my music, music play’st
- No, Time, thou shalt not boast that I do change
- Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Those lines that I before have writ do lie
My love is strength’ned though more weak in seeming
How oft, when thou, my music, music play’st
No, Time, thou shalt not boast that I do change
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
