These three songs result from a very recent re-discovery of earlier attempts to set the poems involved in my middle 20s and at 30 years. My Two Monodies of 1963 comprised the second and third poems. I've now re-thought my original notations, added piano accompaniment and included A widow bird... which I'd attempted to set even earlier in the 1950s. I remembered the original melody but not the piano part, having misplaced the score. I've thorougly re-worked the song retaining an echo, only, from the original.
What drove me then and now, I think even more, was my abiding love for the poems and their complementary unity.
