description: Rossetti poem(s): "A Birthday"
description: Composition history: "A Birthday" was composed for Floyd Farmer and the Camerata Singers of West Michigan in commemoration of their 25th Anniversary. The Christina Rosetti poem is about a birthday, and its many references to silver were perfectly suited to a “silver” anniversary. I played with the birds in the poem by weaving bird songs throughout the piece, which begins with the women’s voices chirping “cherry up cherry dee.” The Muskegon Chronicle called the piece 'delicate and sprightly with a foundation of dignified solemnity'" (Hill).

description: Rossetti poem(s): "A Birthday"
description: Composition history: On his website, Peter Bloesch writes "this poem by Christina Rossetti expresses her ecstatic feelings of love, and my original music seeks to capture her sense of boundless joy" ("My Heart Is Like a Singing Bird"). He describes his process of composing works based on Rossetti's poetry in a personal email, "as a composer of over 50 choral works, I was very moved by Rossetti's poetry, and found her texts to be enchanting to set to music. Her writing is direct but deceptively subtle and rich, and each reading bears more depths of meaning and inspiration. I tend to be most inspired by poetry that deals with nature and love, and her texts certainly blend these elements often enough" (Personal interview).

"Like a Singing Bird" [Rhiannon Randle]

subject: initial time signature: 4/4
subject: origin: United Kingdom
subject: female composer
description: Rossetti poem(s): "A Birthday"
description: Composition history: The score contains the following information about the music's composition: the piece was commissioned by BBC radio 3 in 2015 for International Women's Day, reflecting the day's theme of hope. "The anthem is the first of three which are collectively entitled Echoes from Willow Wood [. . .] The text, Christina Rossetti’s poem ‘A Birthday’, features in Virginia Woolf’s classic essay A Room of One’s Own, based on lectures delivered at Newnham College and at Randle’s own Cambridge alma mater, Girton, an institution at the forefront of women’s education for two centuries. Inspired by the clock in Girton’s Stanley Library, the ‘chiming rhythms’ which are a driving force within the piece offer a further level of connection. The music moves from quiet anticipation to bright affirmation, the sense of something life-changing heralded by an Advent plainchant quoted in the second half. The final couplet is set apart in a hushed recitative, reflecting, in the composer’s words, ‘the hope I and other young female composers can have as we try to make our mark in what has traditionally been a male domain.'"
