This document demonstrates how Juliana Hall uses text painting, the compositional technique of using music to reflect the literal meaning of a song's lyrics or story elements, by employing rhythmic figures, intervallic relationships, melodic contour, harmonic shifts, dynamic contrasts, and piano accompaniment in an attempt to convey the complex emotions present in Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poetry. The poems selected include Sonnet 3: “Unlike,” Sonnet 43: “How Do I Love Thee?,” Sonnet 37: “Pardon,” Sonnet 21: “Say Over,” and Sonnet 41: “Thank You.” Hall’s cycle describes the relationship between the lover and the object of their love, including moments of doubt and apprehension, passion and adoration, fear and anxiety, an incessant need for affirmation, and unwavering devotion. Hall’s song cycle How Do I Love Thee? expresses a narrative arc told through five selections from Victorian-era poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s Sonnets from the Portuguese. American composer Juliana Hall has established a reputation as one of the leading composers of contemporary American art songs, having composed over 60 song cycles, totaling over 300 works for the voice. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And as the boundary between hatred and love grows ever thinner with the prince, Violet must untangle a wicked web of deceit in order to save herself and the kingdom-or doom them all.
