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

One by One (SATB – Burton)
One by One – Wayne Burton, composer/lyricist
A tribute to the early pioneers by composer Wayne Burton. Specific reference to a heroic rescue and answer to prayer during a despirate winter segment of their journey. They video uses this account:
“In November 1856, pioneers in the Martin handcart company were caught by deep snow and cold weather in the mountains of Wyoming. They had already lost many of their members along the way to cold and disease. Starving and fatigued they met the icy Sweetwater river and felt that they could go no further. Grown men sat on the frozen ground and cried with their wives and children.
