Description: Between Sunsets was commissioned by the Strempel-Beaudette Duo for inclusion in an all-Cummings CD and was premiered at the 2012 Eastman School of Music Women in Music Festival in Rochester NY, March 29. Three poems by E. E. Cummings are set in a continuous cycle and the outer songs use some of the same musical material. The texts echo each other in mentioning sunsets, stars, and skies and are also united by greater senses of love. – HT
