The Giver of Stars Six Poems of Amy Lowell Excerpted from the music drama, Amy Lowell: a Rare Pattern (Hummingbird Press, 2002) I. Pyrotechnics Our meeting was like the upward swish of a rocket In the blue night. I do not know when it burst; But now I stand gaping, In a glory of falling stars. from Pictures of the Floating World II. Flame Apples Little hot apples of fire, Burst out of the flaming stem Of my heart, I do not understand how you quickened and grew, And you amaze me While I gather you. I lay you, one by one, Upon a table. And now you seem beautiful and strange to me, And I stand before you, Wondering. from Pictures of the Floating World III. Vernal Equinox The scent of hyacinths, like a pale mist, lies between me and my book; And the South Wind, washing through the room, Makes the candles quiver. My nerves sting at a spatter of rain on the shutter, And I am uneasy with the thrusting of green shoots Outside, in the night. Why are you not here to overpower me with your tense and urgent love? from Pictures of the Floating World

IV. The Giver of Stars Hold your soul open for my welcoming. Let the quiet of your spirit bathe me With its clear and rippled coolness, That, loose-limbed and weary, I find rest, Outstretched upon your peace, as on a bed of ivory. Let the flickering flame of your soul play all about me, That into my limbs may come the keenness of fire, The life and joy of tongues of flame, And, going out from you, tightly strung and in tune, I may rouse the blear-eyed world, And pour into it the beauty which you have begotten. from Sword Blades and Poppy Seed V. Autumnal Equinox Why do you not sleep, Beloved? It is so cold that the stars stand out of the sky Like golden nails not driven home. The fire crackles pleasantly, And I sit here listening For your regular breathing from the room above. What keeps you awake, Beloved? Is it the same nightmare that keeps me strained with listening So that I cannot read? from Pictures of the Floating World VI. A Sprig of Rosemary I cannot see your face. When I think of you, It is your hands which I see. Your hands Sewing, Holding a book, Resting for a moment on the sill of a window. My eyes keep always the sight of your hands, But my heart holds the sound of your voice, And the soft brightness which is your soul. from Pictures of the Floating World

Described as “flat out beautiful” and “full of mystery,” (Stereophile Magazine), Edie Hill’s music is performed all over the globe. Her music has been heard in such venues as Lincoln Center, Musis Sacrum in Arnhem, Holland, LA County Museum of Art, Library of Congress, Minneapolis’ Source Song Festival and Walker Arts Center, St. Paul’s Schubert Club, The Cape May Festival (NJ), The Downtown Arts Festival (NYC), Liviu Cultural Center (Romania), Feszek Müvészklub (Budapest), and concert halls in Bangkok (Thailand), Dublin (Ireland), Reykjavik (Iceland), Moscow (Russia) Brazil, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, the Baltic States and The United Arab Emirates.

She has been commissioned to compose for solo voice to choir, solo instrument to orchestra and mass band, miniature to full evening drama; and loves the challenge of exploring all combinations including electroacoustic and mixed media.

Featured internationally on radio broadcasts and podcasts such as The Portfolio Composer with Garrett Hope and Choir Chat with John C. Hughes to name a couple, Hill is a three-time McKnight Artist Fellow and a two-time Bush Artist Fellow. She has received grants from the Jerome Foundation, ASCAP, Meet The Composer and Chamber Music America. Her work has been recorded by PARMA Recordings (Clay Jug through imprint Navona Records), by Tantalus Guitar Quartet, Cantus, flutist Linda Chatterton, guitarist Kenneth Meyer and numerous choirs throughout the United States.

Mentorship is integral to Hill’s life as a composer. She served as Composer in Residence at St. Paul’s Schubert Club from 2005-2017 where she ran and grew the Mentorship Program for gifted high school composers, has served as a mentor at Source Song Festival, and is composer mentor for MN Varsity (a program for High School Composers run by Classical Minnesota Public Radio and the American Composers Forum). She has lectured at colleges, universities and various institutions in the States and abroad and keeps a small home studio of composition students.

After earning a B.A. from Bennington College in Vermont under the tutelage of Vivian Fine, Hill moved from her native New York to Minneapolis where she earned her M.A. and Ph.D. degrees at the University of Minnesota with principal composition teacher, Lloyd Ultan. She has also studied extensively with Libby Larsen.

Composing is a life-long love. Writing music is always an opportunity to research, learn, muse, reach down deep, and allow inspiration to come from the stuff of life. She lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota where she works freelance and runs Hummingbird Press through which all of her works are available for perusal and sale.
