Poetry by Antonio Machado, translated by Robert Bly, and Music
by Edie Hill. Permission granted by Robert Bly.
LAST NIGHT, AS I WAS SLEEPING
Last night, as I was sleeping, I dreamt—marvellous error!— that
a spring was breaking out in my heart. I said: Along which secret
aqueduct, Oh water, are you coming to me, water of a new life that
I have never drunk?
Last night, as I was sleeping, I dreamt—marvellous error!— that
I had a beehive here inside my heart. And the golden bees were
making white combs and sweet honey from my old failures.
Last night, as I was sleeping, I dreamt—marvellous error!— that
a fiery sun was giving light inside my heart. It was fiery because
I felt warmth as from a hearth, and sun because it gave light and
brought tears to my eyes.
Last night, as I slept, I dreamt—marvellous error!— that it was
God I had here inside my heart.

Described as “flat out beautiful” and “full of mystery,”
(Stereophile Magazine), Edie Hill’s music is performed all over the
globe. Her music has been heard in such venues as Lincoln Center,
Musis Sacrum in Arnhem, Holland, LA County Museum of Art, Library
of Congress, Minneapolis’ Source Song Festival and Walker Arts
Center, St. Paul’s Schubert Club, The Cape May Festival (NJ), The
Downtown Arts Festival (NYC), Liviu Cultural Center (Romania),
Feszek Müvészklub (Budapest), and concert halls in Bangkok
(Thailand), Dublin (Ireland), Reykjavik (Iceland), Moscow (Russia)
Brazil, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, the Baltic
States and The United Arab Emirates.
She has been commissioned to compose for solo voice to choir,
solo instrument to orchestra and mass band, miniature to full
evening drama; and loves the challenge of exploring all
combinations including electroacoustic and mixed media.
Featured internationally on radio broadcasts and podcasts such
as The Portfolio Composer with Garrett Hope and Choir Chat with
John C. Hughes to name a couple, Hill is a three-time McKnight
Artist Fellow and a two-time Bush Artist Fellow. She has received
grants from the Jerome Foundation, ASCAP, Meet The Composer and
Chamber Music America. Her work has been recorded by PARMA
Recordings (Clay Jug through imprint Navona Records), by Tantalus
Guitar Quartet, Cantus, flutist Linda Chatterton, guitarist Kenneth
Meyer and numerous choirs throughout the United States.
Mentorship is integral to Hill’s life as a composer. She served
as Composer in Residence at St. Paul’s Schubert Club from 2005-2017
where she ran and grew the Mentorship Program for gifted high
school composers, has served as a mentor at Source Song Festival,
and is composer mentor for MN Varsity (a program for High School
Composers run by Classical Minnesota Public Radio and the American
Composers Forum). She has lectured at colleges, universities and
various institutions in the States and abroad and keeps a small
home studio of composition students.
After earning a B.A. from Bennington College in Vermont under
the tutelage of Vivian Fine, Hill moved from her native New York to
Minneapolis where she earned her M.A. and Ph.D. degrees at the
University of Minnesota with principal composition teacher, Lloyd
Ultan. She has also studied extensively with Libby Larsen.
Composing is a life-long love. Writing music is always an
opportunity to research, learn, muse, reach down deep, and allow
inspiration to come from the stuff of life. She lives in
Minneapolis, Minnesota where she works freelance and runs
Hummingbird Press through which all of her works are available for
perusal and sale.
