Eros ⎹ On the Same Page ⎹ Commissioned December 2024
As part of our concert cycle On the Same Page, we commissioned two new works by Cooper Grosscup and José Daniel Vargas to demonstrate the theme of the program: how different composers interpret the same text. Here is the source text and recordings of their work:
I confess,
I love that which caresses me.
I believe Love has its share
in the sun's brilliance
and virtue
I desire
and I crave
You set me on fire!
And there was no dance, no holy place
from which we were absent.
Believe me,
I prayed for us
the night
could last twice as long
​
--Sappho
