Six Shelley Songs by Jason Thorpe Buchanan were composed in the summer of 2008. Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) wrote these poems between 1814 and his unexpected death in 1822, when he drowned at sea. He is known for having been expelled from Oxford for distributing a pamphlet entitled “The Necessity of Atheism”. He was married twice, leaving his first wife shortly after having written Away!, later meeting Mary Shelley, soon to be author of Frankenstein and daughter of William Godwin, a literary figure whom Shelley idolized. He lost two of the three children he had with Mary Shelley between 1818 and 1819. His texts have been criticized for their seemingly abstract surface aesthetic, as well as being called “splendidly nebulous”. With these six songs I have attempted to capture the essence of Shelley’s writing and depict the well-crafted romantic imagery contained in these poems. I hope that in doing so I manage to show their “splendidly nebulous” nature in my music. Music, When Soft Voices Die (1821) – PB Shelley| Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory– Odors, when sweet violets sicken, Live within the sense they quicken. Rose leaves, when the rose is dead, Are heaped for the beloved’s bed; And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone, Love itself shall slumber on. Nicole Yazolino – Soprano Carolyn Villavicencio Grossmann – Piano Performance Date: Nov. 2, 2008, Las Vegas, NV For more information on the composer, please visit www.jasonthorpebuchanan.com Score now …

The Hired Hands Music CD Scottish Folk Songs “Over the years of playing and practicing together, we have had many requests for a CD of our music,” said Allison Miller, “and so we have finally put together a recording of some of our favorite pieces!” Thus the creation of their first CD, “The Hired Hands: Something…”, a CD of Scottish folk music on harp, with a sprinkling of other acoustic instruments. The children of Tim and Ann Miller, who live on a farm near Lisbon and the Scenic Vista Park, are going far and wide to pursue their interest in Scottish and Irish folk songs led by two celtic harps played by their two eldest daughters, Allison and Sairey. Allison spent a year in Scotland pursuing post-graduate studies in traditional music and plays a Dusty Strings FH36 harp, also daubling in vocals and random “background stuff”. Sairey has also studied harp both in America and overseas, is the winner of the 2008 National Scottish Harp Championship, and plays the Steen Edinburgh harp, piano and button accordions plus the pennywhistle. The CD took 18 months to produce due to the artists attention to detail, but primarily because of a busy schedule of school and work, between practicing and arranging, recording sessions at Aardvark Productions in Steubenville, Ohio, and finishing touches with graphic designing. The girls are both in college in different states, one in graduate school for physical therapy, the other an undergraduate in the liberal arts. The oldest Miller girl …
