Angling after the elusive Opus 106

While composition proceeds on opp. 104 & 105 — I’ve now made rudimentary architectural decisions for the Cantata:

I. “The Crystalline Ship” — Leo Schulte :: soprano & mezzo; recorder; alto flute

II. from “On the Morning of Christ’s Nativity (Hymn)” — Milton :: soprano; piccolo; recorder; harpsichord (frame drum?)

III. “A Cradle Song” — Blake :: soprano & mezzo (generally, alternate stanzas; together on stanzas 3 & 8); harpsichord (frame drum?)

IV. “My Symphony” — Wm Henry Channing :: mezzo; recorder

V. “These, I singing in spring” — Whitman :: tutti
