Blake's Ode: A Love Song' is a setting of the first stanza of William Blake's poem 'A Little Girl Lost'. In choosing to set this small portion of Blake's original text, I wanted to explore that, within only a few words, there was a sense of past, present, and future. The words resonated with me on a deeper level: It is too true even today that, for some, 'Love! sweet Love! [is] thought a crime'. Ultimately, the piece is a love song, looking towards the future with optimism. Hear, see, and buy it on MusicSpoke. http://musicspoke.com/downloads/blakes-ode-a-love-song
