Homage to T. W. Evans
About the piece: I first met poet T.W. Evans in 2020 when we were paired together to create a new art song at Art Song Lab. After that initial collaboration, I wanted to set more of his witty text to music, but never got around to it until late 2022, when I learned of his passing. Many thanks to his wife Susan Evans for sharing the texts from his most recent book and giving me permission to set them to music. I chose these three poems, "Observer", "The Golden Rule", and "How Far is Away" for their reflective nature.
