Search - Voices of a Different Dream :: You Know My Name - Poetry and Song

You Know My Name is for lovers of music, lovers, of poetry, and anyone drawn to the play between the two. A melenge of original poems and a capella song on themes of human relationship and our connection to the earth, this work ranges from the contemplative to the playful. With an arresting juxtaposition and blend of voices--a kind of polyphony, but with each voice distinct--the group is breaking ground with its "ensemble poetry." Voices of a Different Dream opens up the relationship between poetry and song, showing new ways that the two can be woven together. This is not background music for multi-tasking, but art to be listened to, with full attention, in sections or all at once. And then listened to again. And again. You Know My Name is not a hard work to hear--the tone is inviting and the poetry accessible on many levels. It takes time and a willingness to be still. Listening deeply brings many rewards.
