Composed by Sydney F. Hodkinson. Folio. Performance scores. With Standard notation. 24 pages. Duration 0:23:00. Theodore Presser Company #144-40258. Published by Theodore Presser Company (PR.144402580).
UPC: 680160027750. 11 x 17 inches.
These Two Poems began life as separate pieces requested by the American cellists Amy Controulis and Steven Doane, but, as labours progressed, the first more dramatic setting seemed to function as a lengthy prelude to the second which is generally calmer and more harmonically static. Both are designed as extended elegies in modified arch-form (the first ABCDAB, the second ABCBA). The subtitle derives from a few lines of the American poet Theodore Roethke's The Long Waters (1964): And I acknowledge my foolishness with God, My desire for the peaks, the black ravines, the rolling mists Changing with every twist of wind, The unsinging fields where no lungs breathe, Where light is stone. The Two Poems were written in memory of my friend Stephen Sell (executive director of the Philadelphia Orchestra) who died unexpectedly in mid-life in 1989. The work is approximately 23 minutes in duration and was completed in June of 1989 in Ormond, Florida.
