Four Cionco Songs: "Cosmos" for Soprano & Piano - Jason Thorpe Buchanan

Four Cionco Songs by Jason Thorpe Buchanan were written in November of 2007 for soprano Allesandra Cionco. They are a collaboration with living poet Eleanor G. Cionco and feature rich extended harmonies, ostinati, hemiola figures and pandiatonicism. The rich imagery provided by the poetry made the composition process very enjoyable and hopefully equally so to perform. These are the first songs written by Jason Thorpe Buchanan for solo voice and piano.

Cosmos - Eleanor G. Cionco
This wonderful profusion of color and grace
I first found in your home, in a very tall vase
While I raved about beauty and nature, you collected seeds
And sent them to me in my desert space
Now you are gone, but my cosmos bloom each year
And as I look upon those joyous flowers, I remember you
And smile . . . .

Allesandra Cionco - Soprano
Rachel Veblen - Piano
