Dickinson Songs: It's All I Have by Kenneth Langer — Lyrics
It's all I have to bring today this and my heart beside this and my heart and all the fields and all the meadows wide. Be sure you count should I forget someone the sum could tell this and my heart and all the bees which in the clover dwell.
About Dickinson Songs: It's All I Have
Kenneth Langer's art song for solo soprano, It's All I Have to Bring, sets a devotional text by Emily Dickinson. The music reflects the intimate and personal nature of Dickinson's poetry, with a lyrical vocal line that expresses deep sincerity and a sense of humble offering. The piano accompaniment provides a sensitive and supportive harmonic landscape, mirroring the emotional nuances of the text. This secular song is ideal for recitals or as a thoughtful addition to a program exploring themes of personal devotion and the beauty of the natural world as captured in poetry. It invites both singer and listener into a moment of quiet contemplation and heartfelt expression.
