John Corigliano (b. 1938) is an American composer. The Poem In October was commissioned by the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and first performed in 1970. Taking its text from a 1944 work by the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas it was later arranged for chamber orchestra by the composer as part of his Dylan Thomas Trilogy. It is cast in Rondo form with instrumental interludes interweaved with the vocal verses. While the metre and rhythms are irregular the melody line is highly lyrical reflecting the rich imagery of the text. It has been arranged for solo Tenor with Piano accompaniment.

Two Songs: The Colour And All In Green was expertly composed in 1997 by Sadie Harrison. This piece was first performed for the BMIC Cutting Edge Series in November 2004 at The Warehouse London by Sarah Leonard and Jonathan Powell.Australian born freelance composer and performer Sadie Harrison’s unique fusion of elements from indigenous Lithuanian music and poetry withher own modernist often abrasive style have led her to be compared with Bartok but with her own warmth and grandeur. Since 2012 Harrison has been working along side a long list of well accomplishedmusicians; Paul Carey Peter Sheppard Skaerved Sergej Okrushko Alex South Duncan Honeybourne are among many who have had the privilege work with Harrison so far. Performances ofHarrison's works have been given across the world by Lontano London Chamber Symphony Music Projects/ London Ixion Okeanos Bournemouth Sinfonietta Kokoro and the St. Christopherus Chamber Orchestra and manyothers.
