  Mama Never Forgets Her Birds

  Emily Dickenson’s poems have been my constant companions and inspiration for decades.  I set seven of her poems to songs for soprano voice and piano and have used three others for choral pieces.  

  A few years ago I needed a  Mother’s Day piece for the choir that I was conducting in Arizona.  I wanted words that weren’t overly sentimental, and couldn’t find anything that I liked.     I finally decided to see if Emily Dickinson had a poem that I could set to music.  When I found Mama Never Forgets Her Birds the melody came to me almost immediately, and the song called to out be set in a slow blues style.  I have made two arrangements of the piece, one for SAB and piano and the other for SAB, piano and clarinet.      Mary Lou Prince

  This recording is heard as Solo Soprano, Clarinet and Piano.
