MUSICIANS wrestle everywhere:
All day, among the crowded air,
I hear the silver strife;
And—waking long before the dawn—
Such transport breaks upon the town
I think it that “new life!”
Just as poet Emily Dickinson was a student of voice and piano, so is composer Gordon Getty a student of poetry and prose.
Getty recently visited the Morgan Library & Museum's special exhibit on Emily Dickinson, which explores Dickinson's writings, drafts, photographs, daguerreotypes, illustrations, and more.
