“Say sea / Take Me!” exclaims soprano Rhoslyn Jones at the close of this ecstatic setting of Emily Dickinson’s “My River Runs to Thee” (1861).
Rhoslyn feels a particular kinship with the song’s composer, Jodi Goble. Not only are they pen pals, but Rhoslyn describes her as “a collaborative pianist and composer who, like me, combines her love of performing and creativity with a commitment to teaching and mentorship.”
The first of three selections from Valentines from Amherst (2016) featured in the Atrium Sessions. Performed by kind permission of the composer.
