Program Notes

“My songs are both my most collaborative and my most personal music. Also the most natural for me to write. In fact, sometimes I think I could happily give up writing instrumental music and just write songs for the rest of my life. First there is the pleasure of connecting with a text I love, usually a poem, then the pleasure of hearing a singer and pianist making interpretive choices I couldn’t have anticipated. Finally there is the pleasure of sensing the reaction from a live audience, whether sitting with them or myself accompanying a singer.” — Scott Wheeler
