Don't miss...

Don't miss Greg's comical transcription of a Walt Whitman poem. It's a rather bloody account of the battle between a Strauss waltz transcription and a concert pianist.

Would you hear of an old-time sea-fight?

Greg Anderson, composer

life is more true than reason will deceive

a song for voice and piano by Greg Anderson (2002)



life is more true than reason will deceive
(more secret or than madness did reveal)
deeper is life than lose:higher than have
but beauty is more each than living’s all

multiplied with infinity sans if
the mightiest meditations of mankind
canceled are by one merely opening leaf
(beyond whose nearness there is no beyond)

or does some littler bird than eyes can learn
look up to silence and completely sing?
futures are obsolete;pasts are unborn
here less than nothing’s more than everything

death,as men call him,ends what they call men
but beauty is more now than dying’s when
