2026 | mezzo-soprano or soprano/piano.
Poem by Joyce Sutphen (b.1949).
Some Glad Morning is a 40th birthday gift for my youngest child, Andrew Rosenblum. Andrew has a deep appreciation for nature, so Joyce’s poem seemed perfect for the occasion. I have collaborated with Joyce since 2001 and always find her beautiful words and imagery to be full of emotional depth.
Composed in a creative burst between March 17-20, 2026 in Potomac, MD. As of April 2026, this song has not yet been premiered.
