about
Silver Apples (2008)
Liam Wade, composer (b. 1978)
Steven Bailey, piano
poems by Poe, Stevenson, Yeats, DeSiro
Movement 2 of 4, "Eldorado III"
Liam and I chose the moon-themed poems for his enchanting song cycle. Steven and I contributed musical ideas which Liam incorporated into his score. He left us a great deal of room for improvisation in these magically whimsical songs, allowing for a fresh perspective in every performance. Working in the studio with Leslie and Dann, the cycle evolved in totally unexpected ways revealing still new surprises.
lyrics
Eldorado
poem by Edgar Allen Poe
Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.
But he grew old
This knight so bold
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.
And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow
"Shadow," said he,
"Where can it be
This land of Eldorado?"
"Over the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,"
The shade replied
"If you seek for Eldorado!"

This is a frighteningly well-assembled record. Emotionally eclectic piano-driven songwriting, stellar performances throughout, and thoughtful production treatments deliver major listening payoff. Ann Moss
