The Locust Tree
Richard Festinger
About this work:
"[William Carlos] Williams' objectivist text, with its characteristic one or two words per line, was well-matched by a syllabic text-setting that emphasized the power of each individual word of the poem. Through contrasts in color, range, and dynamics, Festinger drew my attention to the way in which each of Williams' words played a role in shaping the meaning of the poem." - San Francisco Classical Voice
