Product Description

WARNING: EXPLICIT CONTENT. TRIGGER WARNING: SUICIDE
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Cory

This setting of a poem by Edward Arlington Robinson (1869-1935) is intended for Singers who wish to expand the intense emotional content of their repertoire. Extremely potent, it is not suitable
for everyday recital settings. Only at the time of this publication has the composer become aware of other musical settings of this poem, by composers and performers, including the legendary Simon and Garfunkel.
This setting does not alter the original content at all. It uses a happy vaudeville-style texture to set up a description of the world and the namesake's place in it, which comes to a sudden and violent end.
With careful programming, the song is guaranteed to have a powerful effect.
The composer, who indeed is recovered from suicidal impulses, does not wish to trivialize the subject in any way. Any performances of the song should have the Explicit Content warning shown in all program notes.
Performed respectfully and with compassion, this song can expand a performer's emotional expression to a level not previously conceived. By confronting the tragedy of the act head-on, the piece can convey a deeper sense of the empathetic impulse to help those in distress to prevent self destruction.
