DEDICATION
I dedicate this set of love songs to my wife, Adrienne, for her unending support, love, and
feedback. She is, as ever, my muse.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This composition would not have been possible without the guidance of my adviser,
Professor Hartke. I am also grateful for the support and feedback of Professors Crockett
and Ticheli, as well as that of Professor Fox.
I would also like to thank Robert Calonico of the University of California, Berkeley
Wind Ensemble, and Dr. Mark Sumner of the University of California, Berkeley, Alumni
Chorus, as well as their ensembles, for showing faith in me and new music by
commissioning this piece.
Special thanks must be extended to my grandparents, Thomas and Bertha Popeney,
whose support made this degree possible. Additionally, I am thankful for the support of
George and Helen Dubiecki throughout my graduate studies.
Lastly, I would like to thank my parents, Steve and Carol, for everything.

ABSTRACT
This composition, darkness and beauty of stars, is a setting of seven poems of e.e.
cummings for mixed chorus and wind ensemble. The poems draw from a collection of
eleven, entitled "Amores," originally published in cummings' 1923 book Tulips &
Chimneys. I set the first six in complete form, while the seventh is presented with some
stanzas omitted. I elected not to set poems eight through eleven. The title, darkness and
beauty of stars, is drawn from the seventh poem, "if i believe," and is evocative of the
dual themes of the work - love and death.
The piece is divided into three movements, each containing two or three poems
that connect without interruption (I - "your little voice," "in the rain-," "there is a" / II -
"consider O," as is the sea marvelous" / III - "into the smiting," "if i believe"). There is a
great deal of interconnected musical material between the movements, the most
prominent being the brass motive heard at the piece's opening, which is echoed
throughout the work.
The composition is scored for a medium- to large-sized mixed chorus and a wind
ensemble featuring little doubling of parts (only the flutes and clarinets play as sections).
The ensemble is standard, with the two noteworthy members being the contra-alto
clarinet in Eb and the piano.

* These parts may be played by either an individual player or a section of no more
than four players. If sections are used, proper balance should be preserved relative
to the rest of the ensemble. The score indicates specific moments that must be
performed a single player. Any other doublings (e.g., brass) should only be added
for tutti-like passages, and should be balanced accordingly.
† Part for contra-bass clarinet in Bb also available.
‡ Each choral section should include at least 15 singers. Any single pitches should
be treated as unison for any sections sharing a staff (e,g., soprano and alto), unless
otherwise indicated. Notes in parentheses are to be performed by those for whom
the indicated range is comfortable.
The score calls for brief soprano and baritone solos, which are to be taken from
the chorus. These may include pop or jazz stylistic nuances, and may be subtly
amplified if necessary.
§ Different percussionists playing the same instrument type can share a specific
instrument – there is no need for duplicates. Mallet directions apply only to the
indicated passage – all other mallet selection is up to the discretion of the
performers.
duration: ca. 27 minutes in three movements

APPENDIX: TEXTS
AMORES
I
your little voice
Over the wires came leaping
and i felt suddenly
dizzy
With the jostling and shouting of merry flowers
wee skipping high-heeled flames
courtesied before my eyes
or twinkling over to my side
Looked up
with impertinently exquisite faces
floating hands were laid upon me
I was whirled and tossed into delicious dancing
up
Up
with the pale important
stars and the Humorous
moon
dear girl
How i was crazy how i cried when i heard
over time
and tide and death
leaping
Sweetly
your voice
II
in the rain-
darkness, the sunset
being sheathed i sit and
think of you
the holy
city which is your face
your little cheeks the streets
of smiles
your eyes half-
thrush
half-angel and your drowsy
lips where float flowersof kiss
and
there is the sweet shy pirouette
your hair
and then
your dancesong
soul. rarely-beloved
a single star is
uttered,and i
think
of you
111
III
there is a
moon sole
in the blue
night
amorous of waters
tremulous,
blinded with silence the
undulous heaven yearns where
in tense starlessness
anoint with ardor
the yellow lover
stands in the dumb dark
svelte
and
urgent
(again
love i slowly
gather of thy languorous mouth the
thrilling
flower)
IV
consider O
woman this
my body.
for it has
lain
with empty arms
upon the giddy hills
to dream of you,
approve these
firm unsated
eyes
which have beheld
night's speechless carnival
the painting
of the dark
with meteors
streaming from playful
immortal hands
the bursting
of the wafted stars
(in time to come you shall
remember of this night amazing
ecstasies slowly,
in the glutted
112
heart fleet
flowerterrible
memories
shall
rise,slowly
return upon the
red elected lips
scaleless visions)
V
as is the sea marvelous
from god's
hands which sent her forth
to sleep upon the world
and the earth withers
the moon crumbles
one by one
stars flutter into dust
but the sea
does not change
and she goes forth out of hands and
she returns into hands
and is with sleep....
love,
the breaking
of your
soul
upon
my lips

into the smiting
sky tense
with
blend

tree leaps
a stiffened exquisite
i
wait the sweet
annihilation of swift
flesh
113
i make me stern against
your charming strength
O haste
annihilator
drawing into you my enchanting
leaves
VII
if i believe
in death be sure
of this
it is
because you have loved me,
moon and sunset
stars and flowers
gold crescendo and silver muting
of seatides
i trusted not,
one night *
when in my fingers *
drooped your shining body *
when my heart *
sang between your perfect *
breasts *
darkness and beauty of stars
was on my mouth petals danced
against my eyes
and down
the singing reaches of
my soul
spoke the green-
greeting pale-
departing irrevocable
sea
i knew thee death.
and when *
i have offered up each fragrant *
night,when all my days *
shall have before a certain *
face become *
white perfume *
only, *
from the ashes
then
thou wilt rise and thou
wilt come to her and brush
the mischief from her eyes and fold
her

mouth the new
flower with
thy unimaginable
wings,where dwells the breath
of all persisting stars

Abstract
This composition, ""darkness and beauty of stars,"" is a setting of seven poems of e.e. cummings for mixed chorus and wind ensemble. The poems draw from a collection of eleven, entitled ""Amores,"" originally published in cummings' 1923 book Tulips & Chimneys. I set the first six in complete form, while the seventh is presented with some stanzas omitted. I elected not to set poems eight through eleven. The title, darkness and beauty of stars, is drawn from the seventh poem, ""if i believe,"" and is evocative of the dual themes of the work - love and death. ❧ The piece is divided into three movements, each containing two or three poems that connect without interruption (I - ""your little voice,"" ""in the rain-,"" ""there is a"" / II - ""consider O,"" as is the sea marvelous"" / III - ""into the smiting,"" ""if i believe""). There is a great deal of interconnected musical material between the movements, the most prominent being the brass motive heard at the piece's opening, which is echoed throughout the work. ❧ The composition is scored for a medium- to large-sized mixed chorus and a wind ensemble featuring little doubling of parts (only the flutes and clarinets play as sections). The ensemble is standard, with the two noteworthy members being the contra-alto clarinet in Eb and the piano.
