Victor Hugo's heart-wrenching 1847 Poem describes a walk he plans to take tomorrow morning ("Demain, dès l'aube") through the countryside to his daughter Léopoldine's grave four years after her tragic death in a boating accident, which also took the life of her husband Charles who had tried to save her.

The melody paints the landscape, written in a minor key, which is then resolved to the major when his sadness finds resolution in this beauty that he experienced. Synaesthesia is incorporated by using specific harmonies and rhythmic patterns to imitate what the composer might imagine the poet saw, and the emotions he felt. This ultimately transforming the piece into a choral musical painting. ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

I was on the 1 train on Manhattan’s West Side one day when I saw the Poem “Heaven,” by Patrick Phillips. I was immediately captured by the simple beauty of Patrick’s Poem, and the mystery of the first line, “It will be the past.” I loved his vision and thought immediately that I wanted to compose music for this Poem. Mystery, joy, wonder. “Heaven” is the winner of choral composition competitions sponsored by both the Manhattan Choral Ensemble and Georgia College.

Audio recording by Matt Curtis (Choral Tracks).
Published in December 1920 in Harper's Magazine and again in 1923 in his Pulitzer Prize-winning book New Hampshire, "Fire and Ice" is one of Robert Frost's most popular Poems. Some have asserted that the Poem is a compression of Dante's inferno. in an anecdote he recounted in 1960, prominent astronomer Harlow Shapley claimed to have inspired Fire and Ice in an encounter with Frost a year before the Poem was published. Frost asked Shapley how the world will end, and Shapley responded that either the sun will explode and incinerate the Earth, or the Earth will somehow escape this fate only to end up slowly freezing in deep space.
Sheet music for FIRE AND ICE is available from J.W. Pepper: https://www.jwpepper.com/11129789.item
