Song Without Words, for Oboe and Piano
composed by Augusta Read Thomas

Performers: Jared Hauser (oboe), and Caleb Harris (piano)

Song Without Words, for Oboe and Piano was premiered in Turner Recital Hall, Blair School of Music, Vanderbilt University by Jared Hauser and Caleb Harris on 22 October 2020.

This work was inspired by the poem, I Have Found What You Are Like,
by e.e. Cummings, which reads:

i have found what you are like the rain,
(Who feathers frightened fields with the superior dust-of-sleep. wields
easily the pale club of the wind and swirled justly souls of flower strike
the air in utterable coolness
deeds of green thrilling light with thinned
new fragile yellows lurch and.press
-in the woods which stutter and
sing
And the coolness of your smile is stirring of birds between my arms;
but i should rather than anything have(almost when hugeness will shut quietly)almost,
your kiss
