This Is Just To Say

1996 | soprano/piano

Poem by William Carlos Williams.

Song 2 of Plums

Errata

Some newer editions may already have these corrections.

• m. 3, last note left hand should be an F natural NOT an F sharp

• m. 11, first beat left hand is an F natural (and there should be a courtesy accidental for clarity)

• m. 12, in the piano part, in the right hand, the last note is a B natural. A courtesy accidental

will be added.

• The last "mmm" does not occur in the original poem. It is my addition. 

To a Poor Old Woman

1996 | soprano/piano

Poem by William Carlos Williams.

Song 1 of Plums

Errata

Some newer editions may already have these corrections.

• The measure numbers starting on p. 3 are incorrect. These will be fixed in the new printed copy.
• m. 11 (incorrectly numbered m. 22), the last note of the piano part should be written enharmonically as an A flat.
• Regarding the line "to the one half sucked out in her hand"..... the line layout in the original poem indicates to me that it is one half of a plum that is "sucked out in her hand." Not a plum that is "half-sucked out in her hand."
• Four measures from the end, on the word "air," there should not be a decrescendo.
