Good morning, Midnight
Heart! We will forget him!

Nobody knows this little Rose
Bee! I’m expecting you!

It’s All I Have to Bring Today
On This Wondrous Sea

Wider than the Sky

Settings by Aaron Copland from Twelve Poems of Emily Dickinson
Why do they shut me out of heaven?
Heart, we will forget him
Dear March, come in!
When they come back
I felt a funeral in my brain
Going to heaven!
I’ve heard an organ talk sometimes

Settings by Ricky Ian Gordan
Too Few the Mornings Be
If All the Griefs I Am to Have
Bee! I’m Expecting You
I’m Nobody! Who are You?
Will There Really be a Morning?
