Lyrics of Life : for soprano and guitar / Lowell Dykstra; lyrics by W. Sharp, P.B. Shelley, W.H. Davids, E.A. Poe, E. Dickinson, L. Marks, S. Teasdale
Toelichting:
Lyrics of Life are the outcome of two musical worlds: my background in popular music and the classical. Having grown up in the 60s and 70s my musical expression was mainly formed by pop music with a special focus on singer-song writers such as Paul Simon and Don McClean. However, as of 1980 or so, my interest switched to classical music. Yet somehow, I knew that someday I would write a piece for voice and guitar where both genres could meet. It is in these songs that I strongly feel I have achieved this. Although classical in form and idiom, they touch the directness of popular song.
