Poems of Life: 12 Poems by Judith G. Wolf

(LKM Music). This piece, along with three others, earned the composer a Grammy for the 2018 Best Classical Compendium. Composer's program note excerpt: "Judith G. Wolf's expressive poems take us on a memorable journey through everyday life, the support of family and friends, the joy of love, and the pain of grief and loss. I was moved by her work to compose Poems of Life, an orchestral song cycle that sets to music twelve poems from Wolf's most recent volume of poetry, Otherwise . The poems weave a narrative of eternal love, the pain of loss through death, emotional transformation through grief, and spiritual enlightenment." CONTENTS: Prologue 1. Ethereal 2.
