On the surface, “A Light exists in Spring” captures Emily Dickinson’s feelings during an ephemeral experience of Nature—that particular light that is unique to early Spring. But there is a wonderful depth in her writing, including insights about how Nature moves us to feel, the relationship between contentment and Nature, and our experience of the passing of the intangible.

a cappella, Adela Florence Nicolson, English, India's Love Lyrics, PROJECT:ENCORE, SATBThe first (of now many) settings of poems by Adela Florence Nicolson. Written in a freeform, meterless manner, allowing great freedom of expression by the performers.
a cappella, Adela Florence Nicolson, English, India's Love Lyrics, SATB“An End” is a multi-movement a cappella SSATBB setting of Christina Rossetti’s poem by the same name. I was captivated by a literal interpretation of this poem: the tragic death of a baby born in Spring, and the awful emotional turmoil for those left behind. The music I wrote explores the complex facets of such a loss.
a cappella, Christina Rossetti, English, SATB, SSATBBIsle of Avalon is the final movement from the King Arthur Suite, although can also be performed as a stand-alone tone poem (Tone Poem No. 5). This movement tells the story of the mysterious Isle of Avalon from the King Arthur legends.
