The Five Song Collections of John David Earnest Set to the Poetry of Robert Bode: A Performer's Perspective

Bassett, Dennis M.

Abstract Details

2009, Doctor of Musical Arts, Ohio State University, Music.
The collaborative ideas of composer John David Earnest and poet Robert Bodehave resulted in musical compositions that are an important addition to 21st century American art song repertoire. The collaborative ideas of these two men are manifest in five collections of songs: Crickets and Commas (Five Haiku), In Tomorrow’s Fields, Four Songs of Sophistication, The Future in My Hand, and War Dreams. This document provides biographical information on these two artists, as well as detailed information about the five song collections on which they collaborated. It is the author’s intention to give the reader a general outline and working knowledge of each piece, and share with them some of the subtleties and nuances discovered in the preparation and presentation of these works.
