Two Sara Teasdale Songs (2024) by Kevin X. Li

Composer: Kevin X. Li www.kevin-x-li...
Performer: Meg Booker (soprano) and Noah Jacobsen (piano)
Recording engineer: Kyle Malesevich
For our annual concert and collaboration project, Glow Music commissioned Kevin Li (b. 1997) a song set. Li set his music on poetries of American author Sara Teasdale (1884-1933). This beautiful piece was premiered by the duet, Booker and Jacobsen, in April of 2024 in Cincinnati, Ohio. The first piece came in time when we are facing the wars happening in different places in Europe and perhaps within our souls, harming those who are innocent but have no other way but to accept the “grey death” of their loved ones and themselves. The second piece depicts the crisp time between the green summer and snowy winter, when you hear the ceaseless sound of insects. The performance is compelling, for their thoughtful pacing, and colorful and expressive.
