about

Chartres (2008) The text was composed during a tour of Brittany in the summer of 1994; the music arrived many years later in a flash of inspiration.        

lyrics

Chartres

From the river Eure outside Chartres,
A view of the cathedral:
Against the twilight blue sky,
A deep cloud sets in sharp relief
The electrically illuminated spires;
Eleven chimes sound across distance
To reach the river lined with poplar trees
And blend with the noise of frogs and crickets;
A swift flew near my face.
All of the above.

about

Steve Jobe Providence, Rhode Island

Born in 1955 in Mt. Vernon Ohio, the same hometown as Daniel Decatur Emmett, the composer of the song, “Dixie.” I settled into RI for good in 1984 and began composing soon after. I have a respectable body of work: two operas, a couple of concertos both commissioned, a cantata that was commissioned, a string quartet that won an award in 2006.
