Apologies to my wonderful students from Cooley High School, who are performing this piece. When I posted this, I included no notes. The selection is entitled "O My Luv's Like a Red, Red Rose", by David Dickau. A hauntingly beautiful piece that beautifullyly sets the Robert Frost poem to music. How rewarding it is when the students excitedly exclaim, "Mr. Smith, we studied/read that poem in English! And frankly, isn't that what education is all about; making those connections, having those 'light bulb' moments, those palpable, visceral and sometimes ecstatic reactions? |
