12 Poems by Judith G. Wolf for Countertenor, Cello, and Orchestra. Par FUCHS KENNETH. This piece, along with three others, earned the composer a Grammy for the 2018 Best Classical Compendium. Composer's program note excerpt: Judith G. Wolf's expressive poems take us on a memorable journey through everyday life, the support of family and friends, the joy of love, and the pain of grief and loss. I was moved by her work to compose Poems of Life, an orchestral song cycle that sets to music twelve poems from Wolf's most recent volume of poetry, Otherwise. The poems weave a narrative of eternal love, the pain of loss through death, emotional transformation through grief, and spiritual enlightenment. CONTENTS: Prologue 1. Ethereal 2.
