Three Japanese Songs [CF:491-00647]

The three selected art songs by Dorff use Japanese texts by family and the composer himself and have been premiered in settings from prestigious Suntory Hall in Tokyo to a dock floating on the banks of the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia. The poems all are inspired by love — of family (Kokoro o komete), of flying (Tobetara), and of snow (Yuki no uta). See the composer's website for program notes: http://www.danieldorff.com/pn-songs.htm
