Notes<\/h2>\n

“Leaves” is the third song in\u00a0Songs from a Quaker Heart<\/em>,\u00a0commissioned and premiered by the Arlington-Belmont Chamber Chorus in 2016.<\/p>\n

The poem \u201cLeaves\u201d feels both nostalgic about the passing of the seasons and angry about the disruptions of bad weather. As the text proceeds from nostalgia into frustration, the singers deliver the words as an angry spoken chant, instead of a nostalgic song.<\/p>\n

The poem \u201cLeaves\u201d is published in Marian Shapiro’s collection \u00a0Players in the Dream, Dreamers in the Play<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>(Plain View Press, 2006).<\/p>\n
