Updike’s Science is a cycle of six songs for high voice with piano accompaniment. The texts are from poems of John Updike. Each poem represents a different branch of science, though perhaps Updike would not have recognized some of his poems as scientific. Each song is dedicated to different scientist acquaintances of the composer. Scores and recordings may be sampled here.
