Song of one who loves. Text by Euan Tait. Music by Tom Flaherty. Melissa Givens, soprano; Genevieve Feiwen Lee, piano.

A couple of years ago Melissa Givens handed me a set of poems by her poet friend Euan Tait, asking if they might be set to music. They practically leapt onto the staff paper. In six short poems, the poet presents vivid reflections of his relationships with several women in his life: mother, sisters, and friends.
