Pann: Poems for Jason

Carter Pann’s three songs of remembrance create freshly new colors and moods, always remaining melodic and idiomatic for the voice. The songs were born of admiration for soprano/poet Meagan Mahlberg’s passion for everything musical. Pann writes, “Since I have known Meagan I have heard about her brother Jason (not only how he died, but who he was…and how he has manifested so extraordinarily in her memory). These songs are a gift to my friend…and I hope we have the opportunity to visit them together time and time again.”
