Product Description

Secrets of Ferns is a song-cycle of five pieces for mezzo-soprano and piano. The pieces depict the beauty, passion, love and suffering of human life and its relation to nature. The tonal inferences are abstracted in a way to compel thoughtful reflection of our natural world while leading us toward inner contemplation of the suffering and beauty of our personal lives.

What Hurts, based on a poem by Sara Pirkle Hughes, questions the reasonableness of dismissing or trying to forget the pain we suffer in order to "get on with life" so to speak. The poem is a "pantoum"; a verse in quatrain in which the second and fourth lines are repeated as the first and third lines of the following quatrain.
