Songs Without Words: Irresistable Death

from pause and feel and hark by Jeremy Beck

/

about

Songs Without Words (1997) is in three movements, each of which reflects the tone and structural content of an individual poem. The first is Irresistible Death ("La
poderosa muerte"), after the fourth canto of Pablo Neruda's "The Heights of Macchu Picchu" ("Alturas de Macchu Picchu"). Neruda's poem is a complex meditation on
life and death, in which the protagonist's thoughts rapidly fly through a kaleidoscope of fragmented images and emotions. This is followed by ...mists of
brightness..., a phrase which is taken from the interior of Edna St. Vincent Millay's Sonnet XVII, from "Second April" (1921).
