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
