Emily: A Song Cycle For Soprano and Chamber Ensemble on Poems of Emily Dickinson

Kulma, David

Abstract Details

2010, MA, Kent State University, College of the Arts / School of Music, Hugh A. Glauser.
Emily is a setting of thirteen poems of Emily Dickinson for soprano with flute, oboe, viola, cello, and piano. It is approximately thirty minutes in duration. Each song has a base instrumentation of soprano and piano. The cycle starts and ends with songs featuring the entire group, while the center song is for only soprano and piano. Each of the other songs has its own instrumentation that adds one or two instruments to the soprano and piano. Each possible instrument combination is used only once, and the combinations have been arranged to achieve an even distribution throughout the cycle. Between the clearly defined songs are solo or duo passages that link them together.
