About the Score

Songs for a World on Fire consists of two poems reflecting on the destruction of the natural world. The second piece, Emily Pauline Johnson's Fire-Flowers remarks upon the ability for nature to heal and for new flowers to spring up after forest-fires, drawing a parallel to human life, that even after great suffering, there is opportunity for revival. These works were written in response to the ongoing change in the earth's climate as a result of human expansion and industry. While the first piece of the set serves as an opportunity to lament the damage that has already been done, the second piece provides some sense of hope that the earth will be able to recover, if humanity is able to make the necessary changes to facilitate that recovery.
