                      Time in a Bubble
                A 31st Century Love Story
      When Progress Was a Thing of the Past

       Too Fat to Dance    

Subplot: DELTA sings in a nightclub. By the end of the number she is dancing up a storm, on the tables.        

        Song of the Winds

Main plot: NYA lives in the 31st century, but is now on the dunes of Cape Cod in 1950.
She has lost her lover, who she is certain has betrayed her. She is full of sorrow,
yet in the song she is able to fully accept her situation. Her lover (of course) has not
betrayed her, and ends up rescuing her.

         Finale (excerpt / reprises):

"Walking in the Rainy, Rainy Rain," and "Just a Matter of Time"

   Five Songs from A Shropshire Lad
Lyrics by A.E. Housman--piano and voice

                    Is My Team Ploughing?
                    When I Was One-and-Twenty
                    Loveliest of Trees, the Cherry Now
                    Into My Heart an Air That Kills
                    With Rue My Heart Is Laden

 Excerpted from Thomas Hampson's Song of America database:

On setting lyrics to classic poems:  I consider the music to be already embedded in the text,
and my task is to extract it. Some of A.E. Housman’s best poetry is too arch for this approach.
The “speech” in the texts I’ve chosen is always more or less natural, even if archaic..

I’m fundamentally a melodist.I don’t stretch the lyrics or repeat lines but keep the rhythm of the lines
and the integrity of the stanzas intact--though in between the stanzas there is room. This also means
not over-dramatizing the text at the expense of the clarity of the poetic form. Certainly a very dramatic
rendering that results in an effective musical form at the expense of the poem’s original form is common
in many art songs. The well-known setting by Charles Sanford (early in the 20th century) of
“La Belle Dame sans Merci” of Keats, is a fine example.

There is a "typo" in the fourth selection, "Into My Heart an Air That Kills":
"This is the land of lost content" should be "That is the land of loss content."
As far as I know, this is first musical setting of this poem.
