​Velvet Shoes

​for Soprano and Piano

‘Velvet Shoes’ was written for Casie Marie Girvin, and sets to poetry of Elinor Wylie. The poem paints a scene of two people walking together through a quiet snow-covered town. Although this poem has been interpreted in many ways, it is clear that this simple walk though the snow is a metaphor for a greater journey to be taken with a significant person in one’s life. ​
