Eleven Poems by Brian William Taylor is a collection of song settings composed by Dr. Gary Funk. The songs interpret the poetry through memorable melodies, lovely harmonies and compelling rhythm. Taylor's series of love poems pose challenging questions to performers and audiences alike. Love is among the deepest emotions of which humans are capable, but expressing those feelings honestly and authentically may put lovers into a state of vulnerability. When lovers attempt to tell loved ones how they feel, do they really express their feelings or is what they say only what they think they ought to feel or want to feel? Do words even have the capacity to express that level of emotion? Well, that's why we have the arts. Much of our subjective experience is simply not expressible via discursive language (speaking and/or writing) but it can be sung, for example. One of the pieces in this songbook reminisces about moments of a couple being together many years ago in an Italian restaurant. Another song reflects upon walking hand-in-hand in Ireland, and yet another recalls listening to the sounds of beautiful ancient music drift through an open window of a timbered house in Brittany.Brian Taylor's exquisite poetry combines with Gary Funk's sensitive musical interpretations to create a third "thing" – something more compelling than either the poetry or music alone. The music and words combine to form a metaphor that asks us to contemplate our human experience and consider our priorities in life. These beautiful songs will please those who perform them and move those who listen to them because the compositions speak the truth. They satisfy because their truth challenges us both musically and philosophically. Volume I: Medium High VoiceVolume II: Medium Low Voice
