Phillip Sear plays a dreamy evocation of birdsong by the American composer, organist and teacher Katharine Lucke (1875-1962) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The American composer, organist and teacher Katharine Eleanor Lucke (1875-1962) studied at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, and later went on to teach there. She was also organist at the First Unitarian Church there, and conductor of the Handel Choir of Baltimore. She wrote mainly songs and church music, and I believe that at least half of her music is unpublished. This piece is headed by the opening lines of a sonnet from the collection 'At the gates of song' by the American artist and poet Lloyd Mifflin (1846-1921): "Oft have I seen at eventide the thrush Embowered in the topmost branches fair, Warbling her love-lay in the golden air," Thumbnail image created with Wombo Dream ( t.ly/zhJa ). #americanmusic #reverie #thrush ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
