Senior Recital, Ganz Hall, Jan. 30th, 2010
Song for a Dark Girl, text by Langston Hughes and set by Ricky Ian Gordon
Text:
Way Down South in Dixie (Break the heart of me)
They hung my black young lover To a cross roads tree.
Way Down South in Dixie (Bruised body high in air)
I asked the white Lord Jesus What was the use of prayer.
Way Down South in Dixie (Break the heart of me)
Love is a naked shadow
On a gnarled and naked tree.
Wow your interpretation is beautiful!! I will be working on this song this semester =)
