Three Japanese Songs – Daniel Dorff

Vocal and piano. The three selected art songs by Dorff use Japanese texts by family and the composer himself and have been premiered in settings from prestigious Suntory Hall in Tokyo to a dock floating on the banks of the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia. The poems all are inspired by love, of family (Kokoro o komete), of flying (Tobetara), and of snow (Yuki no uta).
