"Paint Me A Poem" is a musical companion to the book "Paint Me a Poem" (WordSong, Boyds Mill Press.) The book pairs original poems by Justine Rowden with paintings in the National Gallery of Art, and invites children to bask in colors, to gaze at a detail, to follow a memory or daydream, or write poems of their own. Composer Natalie Moller's colorful song cycle draws from the poems in the book, adding atmospheric interludes to take the listener on an imaginative journey in image and sound. Personnel: Rotem Weinberg, Conductor; Annika Socolofsky, voice; Garret Jones, Clarinet; Nathaniel Pierce, 'Cello; Kathryn Goodson, Piano; Nicole Patrick, Percussion; Eric Wojhan, Recording Engineer; Andy Kirshner, Producer. Recorded mixed and mastered at Solid Sound Recording, Inc., Ann Arbor, MI in May 2018.
