It was first workshopped and presented in readings at ASCAP New York as a musical with dialogue, but has since been revised into a sung-through ‘operatic musical.’ The piece is set in the late 19th century and was suggested by folklore and actual events. It is the story of a love triangle between a French poetess, a priest and a mafioso set against the backdrop of an old family curse. ASCAP’s Director of Musical Theater described the music as “Stunning”. Please contact info@tomsplitt.com for more information.

“The Tree” poem is included in a new secondary education textbook offered by Belgian publisher VAN IN. The song is included on a companion CD along with tracks by Bruce Springsteen, Michelle Shocked and others.

The poem was chosen by students of New Albany [OH] Middle & High School and engraved on a plaque set at the base of a tree planted in front of the school to commemorate the fallen heroes of 9/11.
