America’s Bard

American poet Walt Whitman’s works have long inspired composers wishing to capture the essence of his writings. The centerpiece of this concert is Jeffrey Van’s haunting A Procession Winding Around Me for guitar and chorus. Whitman texts will be featured in music by other 20th century American composers, including Norman Dello Joio, William Schuman, and Eric Whitacre.
