ContrapuntalDescription of new work
In CONTRAPUNTAL Carol Hamilton has captured in verse, sound, and image the longtime love shared between Clara Schumann and Johannes Brahms. This relationship is among history's curiosities--- the Schumanns respected and welcomed Brahmns into their family, and he cared for them as his own, yet his later role as intercessor and his connection to Clara present an unexplored doorway that Hamilton frames magnificently. With her usual deftness, Hamilton is able to rein-in these musical artists and their lives into a collection of poems that reveals them for what they are ---beautiful.
