Preceding the upcoming Inscape Chamber Music Concert, a statement on our collaboration from the poet [JESSICA HORNIK] who wrote the poetry being used in the concert listed below
*November 16, 2008: Inscape Chamber Music Project, with Abigail Haynes-Lennox, soprano. Premiere of Three poems of Jessica Hornik for soprano, oboe, clarinet, harp and strings. info here: http://www.inscapechambermusicproject.org/aboutus.html
“I was fortunate to discover Joe Hallman and his music through members of my family. His interest in my work as inspiration for his own has prompted us both to new thinking about the fusion of poetry and music. Through Joe’s enthusiasm, keen intelligence, and alertness to the sense of poetic phrases as well as the silences between them, the music inherent in the poetry blossoms into the music of the music.”
: Ms. Hornik joked that she is the “Hermit of Alplaus”. I can only hope that the public will petition for her poetry. It is the stuff, of life, and of love, and of experience. :
